How much does window cleaning cost in Normal Heights?
Window cleaning on a typical Normal Heights bungalow costs $180 to $400 for the exterior, based on 15 to 30 panes. Divided-light windows, second stories, and hard water spotting raise the price. Most visits take 60 to 120 minutes for a two-person crew.
Most of the homes we clean between Adams Avenue and the canyon are 1920s and 1930s bungalows. Those houses have a lot of small panes.
Pane count matters more than square footage. A 1,200 square foot bungalow with divided-light windows can take longer than a 2,000 square foot house with big sliders.
What changes the price on these homes?
Four things move the number on almost every job we quote here.
- Pane count and whether the glass is divided into small lites
- Second-story or hard-to-reach windows that need poles or ladders
- Hard water spots or paint overspray that need extra passes
- Screens and tracks, which we clean on request
Original wood-sash windows are the other variable. We go lighter on the water and skip aggressive scrapers on old glazing putty.
Typical price ranges
| Home type | Panes | Exterior only | Time |
|---|---|---|---|
| Small bungalow | 12 to 20 | $150 to $250 | 45 to 75 min |
| Typical bungalow | 20 to 30 | $200 to $400 | 60 to 120 min |
| Two-story home | 30 to 45 | $350 to $650 | 2 to 3 hours |
Interior cleaning adds roughly 50 to 80 percent. We quote after seeing the pane count, not before.
When is window cleaning not the fix?
Etched glass from long-term hard water does not come clean, no matter how many passes we make. We tell customers that up front.
And if the frames are oxidized or the stucco around them is stained, the glass will look clean next to a dirty house. In that case we pair the visit with gutter cleaning or a soft wash.
Fall is a good time. Santa Ana dust settles on glass in October and November, and the first rain turns it into a film.
