When to use this template

Build and revise pricing online, then generate a client-ready quote PDF. Use this after counting panes on-site or from photos when a homeowner or property manager asks for written pricing on interior, exterior, or combined window cleaning.

What to include

  • Property address, number of stories, total pane count broken out by floor (e.g., 12 first-floor panes, 8 second-floor panes, 4 skylights), and window types (double-hung, casement, picture, French).
  • Service scope per pane: exterior only, interior only, or both sides, plus add-ons like screen cleaning, screen repair, track and sill wipe-down, and hard water stain removal.
  • Access method for each floor: ground-level squeegee, ladder (state height), water-fed pole (state reach in feet), or rope descent, with any access surcharges noted.
  • Line-item pricing: per-pane rate by floor level, flat fee for screen cleaning, per-pane surcharge for hard water mineral removal (using 0000 steel wool or chemical treatment), and storm window disassembly fee.
  • Quote validity period, scheduling estimate, weather reschedule policy, and a note on frequency discounts for recurring service (monthly, bimonthly, quarterly).

Common questions

Can I build and revise this Window Cleaning Quote / Estimate online before sending it?
Yes. Update scope, quantities, labor, and totals in your browser, then generate a polished Window Cleaning Quote / Estimate PDF.
Can I save this Window Cleaning Quote / Estimate and reuse it for similar jobs?
Yes. With an account, save it as a baseline, reopen it later, and adjust line items quickly for repeat work.
Can I export this Window Cleaning Quote / Estimate with finalized pricing and terms?
Yes. Generate a clean PDF once details are final so clients receive a clear and professional quote.
Should I price per pane or per window?
Per pane is more accurate. A single French door can have 15 panes. Pricing per window leads to undercharging on multi-pane units and overcharging on simple single-pane windows.
How do I charge for hard water stain removal?
Add a per-pane surcharge, typically two to five times the base pane rate. Hard water removal requires chemical treatment or fine abrasive and takes significantly longer per pane.
Do I charge extra for second and third story windows?
Yes. Upper floors require ladders, water-fed poles, or lift equipment. Most cleaners charge 50 to 100 percent more per pane above the first floor to account for time and risk.
Should I include screen cleaning in the quote?
List it as a separate line item. Some customers only want glass cleaned. Offering screens as an add-on increases your average ticket without forcing it on everyone.
How do I make my estimates look professional?
Use a structured online form with your company name, itemized pricing, and clear terms. A professional-looking estimate builds trust and makes customers more likely to approve the job.
What if the customer says my price is too high?
A detailed estimate with transparent line items shows exactly what they are paying for. Customers push back less when they can see labor, materials, and overhead broken out clearly.
Should I email or text my estimates?
Always send a formatted PDF rather than a text message. A PDF looks professional, can be printed, and creates a record both sides can reference if there is a dispute.
