How to hire a window cleaning pro in Canada

  1. Get a per-window count and written quote, interior/exterior itemised
  2. Confirm liability insurance and provincial workers' compensation for anyone leaving the ground
  3. Book within the season — exterior residential window cleaning in most of Canada runs roughly April to October
  4. Ask whether screens and tracks are included; Canadian homes' removable screens are usually a per-screen add-on
  5. For two-story homes, prefer water-fed pole operators over ladder-only crews
  6. Spring slots (post-melt) book out fastest — reserve weeks ahead

Frequently asked questions

What about hard water stains and mineral deposits?

Ordinary cleaning won't remove etched mineral staining from sprinklers, leaking gutters or years of run-off — it needs dedicated hard-water removal products or fine polishing, priced as a restoration add-on per pane. Test one window first: if staining has etched into the glass, no chemical fixes it fully. Fix the water source (gutter, sprinkler aim) or the stains return.

How often should windows be cleaned?

Exteriors: every 4-8 weeks on a regular round keeps glass consistently clear; quarterly is the practical minimum in cities or near trees and coasts. Interiors need cleaning 2-4 times a year in most homes. Homes near the sea (salt), busy roads (film) or construction (dust) need shorter cycles.

What should I do before the cleaner arrives?

Unlock side gates, move cars off the driveway if poles or hoses need the space, close windows fully, and confine pets. For interior cleans, clear window sills of plants and ornaments — cleaners charge for time, and moving your things is time. Flag any cracked panes or fragile lead-light windows before work starts to avoid disputes.

Do window cleaners do skylights and conservatory roofs?

Many do, as a priced add-on — conservatory or glass-roof cleaning is slower, needs care about walking loads, and often costs as much as the rest of the house combined. Self-cleaning glass coatings still need occasional professional attention. Ask when booking; not every round cleaner carries the right equipment.

Doesn't rain make window cleaning pointless?

No — rain itself is fairly clean; the spots you see after rain come from dirt already sitting on the glass. Pure-water-cleaned windows usually stay clear through rain, which is why professional rounds run all year. Most round cleaners offer a re-clean if windows genuinely spot within a day or two of the visit — ask about the policy.

Can cleaners reach upper-floor and awkward windows?

Water-fed poles handle most windows up to 3-4 storeys from the ground. Beyond that, or over conservatories and extensions where ladders can't stand, you're into specialist access — longer poles, ladders with standoffs, or (for tower blocks) rope access, which is commercial-grade work priced accordingly. Point out awkward windows when getting a quote, not when the cleaner arrives.

What does window cleaning cost in Canada?

Roughly $5-$16 per pane, with an average home landing at $180-$400 for inside-and-out service. Screens add $1-$5 each. Prices in Toronto and Vancouver sit at the top of the range; the compressed season means spring demand pricing is real.

Can windows be cleaned in a Canadian winter?

Mostly no for residential exteriors — freezing temperatures rule out water methods, so the residential season runs roughly April to October. Interiors can be done year-round. Book a fall clean if you want clear glass through the closed-window months, and expect the first spring slots to go quickly.
