Our prices change for each size window and conditions that you must work around. For example , commercial single pane windows; our lowest price starts at $2.00 a side and up. residential hung windows with screens we usually start around $5.00 a side to $10.00. Storm windows are extra. We do not lower our prices just to get a job. After all you are in the business to make money not just to make someone happy they got a deal.

I think it depends on where you live. I called a few window cleaning businesses. One charges $6.00 per window(inside & out, screens and sills) another charges $5.00. So, I started asking my residential customers if they were interested in having their windows cleaned. Gave them a quote, and am ready to do windows. If I have a senior citizen I charge $4.00

Remember this, and mix it and reverse it "Make someone happy they got a deal, After all your in business to make money."
If you do this right they will think they got one over on you, remember hold your guns when giving an estimate. But negotiate before you lose the job, keep your price a little higher and let them win by talking you down, everyone wants to be a winner, when negotiating I want to be the loser, thats how you win.
Negotiation= Confirmation=Contract

I start by counting the panes, each side, then multiply by two. So $2.00 a pane, then adjust the price for dificulty, accessability, mileage, overhead, etc.
Then compare that number to what I think it will work out to in an hourly wage and go from there.
That usually leaves plenty of wiggle room for both me and the customer and in the end I get a decent wage and they are happy.

We start at 2.50 per pane per side for our contract clients, or we start at 3.50 for non contract clients.  |

I have a question. You have a top window and a bottom window in one frame so would that be counted as one window or two? Say the top window has 6 panes and the bottom has 6 panes with a total of 89 windows (top and bottom) all made the same, how would you price that? I am bidding on a home like this with 2 stories and Im confused on this type of window cleaning. Can anyone help?
Thank you,
Linda

;)Linda;
I count this as two panes and if French style is exterior I charge more per pane. Some newer houses have the French style look but the (I forget what to call them), surrounding the small panes are internal , ie, between the panes of the double pane window making them much easier to clean.

I bid the two pieces top and bottom as one window . In my area if they are two single panes the price goes from $7 to $10 for both sides of the two panes. If there were 12 panes in the the two pieces then I would charge more. Usually around $20 for the two pieces containing all the little panes. More on second floors or hard to get to areas. Some considerations to look at are how old the windows are and if the grids are sealed to the window good. I have done some where water gets behind the grids and keeps seeping out after you have dried edges. You may have to go back to wipe this off after a few minutes. It may be easier for you to price each individual pane side. Maybe like .25 cent to .80 per side of each individual piece of glass depending on what you desire to make or what you think is fair price.
You can order small squeegees or cut one of your channels and rubbers down to size of the panes.
