Rochester Window Cleaning · Pricing
window cleaning pricing in Rochester
Published price ranges for interior and exterior window cleaning, screen and track detail, frame and sill wipe-down, gutter cleaning, and post-construction cleanup for residential and commercial properties across Greater Rochester. Real numbers, not “call for a quote.” Every job has variables — see the factors below — but these ranges cover the majority of Rochester-area work.
Typical Rochester range
$120–$525 for residential, depending on package; $5–$12 per pane is the typical Rochester unit rate inside+outside
Twice yearly — once in spring (April–June) and once in fall (September–November); booking both visits together is the common Rochester pattern.
Pricing by service
Each line is a real service we book, with the price band most Rochester customers actually pay.
| Service | Price range | What's included |
|---|---|---|
| Interior Window WashYear-round (slower in Dec–Feb) | $3–$6 per pane · typical $120–$220 per home | Inside-only glass cleaning for homes where the outside still looks good but the inside has cooking film, fingerprints, or pet-nose smudges. Includes sill wipe-down. |
| Exterior Window WashApril – November | $4–$7 per pane · typical $160–$285 per home | Outside-only cleaning — the more common request. Removes pollen, lake-effect humidity film, pollen, bird debris, and winter salt spray. Ladder-safe up to second-story standard windows. |
| Full Detail Package (Interior + Exterior + Tracks + Screens)April – November | $285–$525 per home · typical $385 for 2,000 sq ft | The package most homeowners actually want. Glass inside and out, plus tracks vacuumed and wiped, screens removed and washed, frames detailed. Two-person crew, half-day job. |
| Screen DetailApril – November | $6–$10 per screen · typical $60–$130 per home | Just the screens — popular as an add-on after exterior-only cleaning, or as a standalone after a heavy pollen spring. Hand-washed, dried, and reinstalled without damage. |
| Gutter CleaningApril + September – November | $165–$325 per home | Gutter scoop + flush. Common add-on bundled with fall window cleaning before winter — wet leaves in gutters become ice dams by January. |
| Post-Construction Window Cleanup | Written quote per job · typical $400–$900 | New construction, addition, or full window replacement leaves glass with paint splatter, silicone, stucco dust, and manufacturer stickers. We strip and clean — careful razor work where needed. |

Factors that affect price
The biggest variables on a final quote. None of these are surprises — we work them out before the job starts.
- Number of panes (each window pane is priced separately, not the whole window)
- Interior only, exterior only, or both
- Inclusion of tracks, screens, frames, sills
- Storm windows or skylights (priced per unit)
- Height — second-story standard is included; third-story or steep roof access adds cost
- Distance from Rochester (some far suburbs add light travel)
- Add-ons (gutters, post-construction cleanup, hard-water stain removal)
How Rochester compares
Rochester window cleaning runs $5–$12 per pane for interior+exterior, or about $200–$500 for a typical 2,000–2,500 sq ft home. Be careful of "$99 whole house" specials — they almost always mean exterior glass only, no tracks, no screens, and a 30-second wipe per window that leaves streaks the moment the sun hits it.
