Window cleaning is part of Repair & Maintenance. For damaged windows or hardware, see Doors & Windows; for exterior property maintenance, browse Exterior & Outdoor.
What Window Cleaning Covers
Window cleaning can cover accessible interior and exterior glass and related surfaces based on the actual window type and condition. The request should identify the number of windows, stories, screen or track needs, and any difficult-access locations.
Cleaning is separate from repairing failed seals, cracked glass, damaged frames or non-operating hardware. Those conditions should be photographed and routed as repair work.
Before the Work
Count the windows or provide photos of each elevation. Note upper-story glass, fixed panes, screens and areas blocked by landscaping or furniture.
Identify paint, adhesive, construction residue, mineral spotting or other unusual buildup. Different residues may require a different approach than normal dust and surface dirt.
What Can Change the Scope
Height, access, window size, screen removal, divided panes, heavy buildup and obstructions can change the scope. Safe access is more important than forcing a difficult exterior reach.
Cracked glass, loose trim or deteriorated frames can limit what should be cleaned until the condition is repaired.
What to Send With Your Request
- Photos of the windows from inside or outside.
- An approximate window count and number of stories.
- Details about screens, tracks or special residue.
- Photos of difficult-access or damaged areas.
If only selected windows are included, identify them by room or elevation so the requested set is clear.
Common Questions
Does window cleaning include repairing damaged screens or hardware?
Not automatically. Cleaning and repair are different scopes; damaged components should be listed separately.
Can upper-story windows be included?
Potentially, depending on safe access and site conditions. Photos of the building and window locations help determine the practical scope.
