Window Cleaning in Ottawa South

Exterior frames and sills — usually yes with water-fed pole cleaning, since the brush does them anyway. Interior tracks, screens and deep frame scrubbing are typically add-ons. Ask specifically: 'glass only' vs 'glass, frames and sills' is the most common source of disappointment. First cleans should always include frames — dirty frames drip onto clean glass with the first rain.

Ask three things: are you insured, what's included (glass only, or frames and sills), and what's the re-clean policy if results disappoint. For regular rounds, reliability beats price — the cheapest cleaner who skips visits costs more per actual clean. Local social groups are genuinely useful for finding established rounds with track records.

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.

A regular exterior round on an average house: 20-40 minutes. A first clean or full inside-and-out with frames, sills and tracks: 2-4 hours depending on window count. Window count drives everything — count your panes before calling and quotes get much more accurate.

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.

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.
