Window Cleaning in Prince George

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.

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.

For exterior-only cleans, no — most regular rounds run with the customer out, with payment by app or transfer. Unlock side gates and confine pets before the visit. Interior cleans obviously need access; many customers book inside-and-out once or twice a year and exterior-only in between.

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.

Ground-floor glass, absolutely DIY-able with a squeegee and practice. The calculus changes with height: ladder falls are one of the most common serious home-DIY accidents, and upper-floor windows take a pro with a water-fed pole minutes from the ground. Most households that hire do it for the upper floors and the consistency of a schedule, not because the skill is exotic.

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.
