How to hire a window cleaning pro in Canada
- Get a per-window count and written quote, interior/exterior itemised
- Confirm liability insurance and provincial workers' compensation for anyone leaving the ground
- Book within the season — exterior residential window cleaning in most of Canada runs roughly April to October
- Ask whether screens and tracks are included; Canadian homes' removable screens are usually a per-screen add-on
- For two-story homes, prefer water-fed pole operators over ladder-only crews
- Spring slots (post-melt) book out fastest — reserve weeks ahead
Residential window cleaning is unlicensed in Canada; insurance and provincial workers' compensation coverage are the practical checks, given ladder work. The season is compressed — most exterior residential work happens April through October, which concentrates demand into spring booking windows.

Frequently asked questions
What is water-fed pole (pure water) cleaning?
A telescopic pole with a brush head fed by purified water — the cleaner scrubs from the ground and rinses with deionised water that dries without spots, so no detergent and no ladder. It's now the standard for residential exteriors in many countries, reaches 3-4 storeys safely, and cleans frames as part of the process. Traditional squeegee work remains standard for interiors and gives a slightly more polished finish on ground-floor glass.
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.
Does a standard clean include frames, sills and tracks?
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.
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 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.
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.
