These are our actual Oakville ranges. Competitors will quote above and below — below usually means bait pricing.

What drives the price

1. Pane count

The primary driver. Each additional 5–10 panes adds ~$20–$40. "Pane count" means every individual piece of glass — including crank-out casement windows (each pane is separate), French doors, and fixed transoms.

2. Access difficulty

• Standard 2-storey: ladder or pole reach from ground
• 3-storey with balcony access: usually same price as 2-storey
• 3-storey without access: extended pole work, +$50–$100
• Custom shapes (arched, Palladian, leaded): hand-detail, +$5–$15 per window

3. Additional services

• Screens (removed, rinsed, reinstalled): included in most packages
• Tracks (vacuumed + wiped): included in interior + exterior package
• Sills (both sides): included
• Mineral deposits (hard-water spotting): +$10–$20 per window
• Paint / construction debris scraping: +$20–$40 per window
• Leaded / stained glass detail: +$5–$15 per window

4. Frequency discount

Recurring customers typically get 10–15% off after the first visit. We reward the loyalty.

What's NOT included in base pricing

• Solarium or greenhouse glass (specialty quote)
• Commercial storefront (different rates)
• Skylight work requiring roof access (we don't walk roofs for safety)
• Removing and rehanging heavy stationary panels

The "from $99" problem

Some companies advertise "from $99 window cleaning!" and the fine print says "exterior only, up to 10 panes, first-floor only, single visit." That's about 20% of a typical home's panes. When they arrive and assess, the real price jumps to $400+.

Our approach: quote the whole home honestly, in writing, before we arrive.

What pure-water fed pole actually means

You'll see us advertise "pure water" cleaning. Here's the technical explanation:

• Tap water has minerals (calcium, magnesium, iron, fluoride) that leave spots when it dries on glass
• We run tap water through a deionizing filter that removes the minerals
• The resulting "pure water" bonds to dirt, rinses away, and dries spot-free without squeegee work
• We push it through carbon-fibre telescoping poles (up to 40 feet) so we clean 2nd and 3rd storey windows from the ground
• No ladders on landscaping. No risk of damage.

The equipment costs $5k+ per crew. It's why legitimate window cleaning can't be $79. And it's why the work is visibly cleaner in direct sun — traditional squeegee + tap water leaves a dried mineral haze that's only visible at certain angles.

What a fair quote looks like

A fair quote for Oakville residential window cleaning will:

• Be in writing and valid for at least 30 days
• List exact scope: exterior only / interior + exterior / full restoration
• Count panes explicitly or describe coverage by elevation
• Include screens, tracks, sills in the stated package
• Specify water source (pure water pole vs tap)
• List access considerations (any areas not included)
• Have no hidden fees or trip charges
• Come with insurance verification on request
• Stand without surprise on the invoice

If a quote lacks any of these, keep shopping.

When to schedule

• Spring (April–May): Winter salt + road grime on exteriors. Our busiest season.
• Fall (September–October): Post-summer dust; before heating season makes interiors foggy.
• Post-renovation: Scrape for paint and construction dust.
• Twice a year: The sweet spot for most Oakville homes.
