Quick Answer: Toronto Window Cleaning Prices
For a typical Toronto-area home (2 stories, 15–25 windows), here's what to expect in 2026:
| Service Level | Price Range | What's Included |
|---|---|---|
| Exterior Only | $149 – $249 | All windows cleaned from outside |
| Interior + Exterior | $299 – $399 | Both sides of every window |
| Full Detail | $399 – $499+ | Int/ext + screens + tracks + sills + hard water |
Most GTA homeowners pay $300–$400 for a complete interior and exterior cleaning. This is the sweet spot — crystal-clear results without paying for extras you don't need.
7 Factors That Affect Your Cost
Window cleaning isn't one-size-fits-all. Here's exactly what moves the price up or down:
Number of Windows
The biggest driver. A bungalow with 10 windows costs far less than a large home with 30+. Most companies price $8–$20 per window or by the job.
Number of Stories
2nd and 3rd floor windows need ladders or water-fed poles. Expect a 20–40% premium for 2-story homes, 50–75% for 3-story.
Interior vs. Exterior
Exterior-only is the most affordable. Adding interior typically adds 50–70% to the price but gets you spotless glass from both sides.
Screens, Tracks & Sills
Many companies charge extra ($3–$5/screen) for screen removal and track vacuuming. Adds $50–$100 but makes a noticeable difference.
Hard Water Stains
Mineral buildup from sprinklers or construction adds $50–$150 to remove. Left untreated, hard water permanently etches glass.
Accessibility
Windows behind hedges, over decks, or above 25 feet requiring specialized equipment may carry a small premium.
Season & Demand
Spring (April–May) and fall (September–October) are peak seasons in Toronto. Booking in late March can get you better rates before the rush. Most companies run spring promotions during this window.

5 Ways to Save on Window Cleaning
- Book a quarterly plan. Most companies offer 10–15% off when you commit to regular cleanings. Your windows stay cleaner year-round and you save on every visit.
- Bundle services. Adding gutter cleaning or pressure washing to the same visit saves 10% vs. booking separately. One trip, one discount.
- Book with your neighbours. Some companies offer group discounts when multiple homes on the same street book together — less driving means lower costs passed to you.
- Go exterior-only. If budget is a concern, exterior-only is 40–50% cheaper and handles the biggest visual impact on curb appeal.
- Ask about spring promotions. Many companies run early-season discounts in March and April to fill their schedule. Booking early often gets you the best rate of the year.
DIY vs. Professional: Real Cost Comparison
Thinking about doing it yourself? Here's the honest breakdown:
DIY
Professional
For ground-floor windows, DIY is totally reasonable. But for anything above the first floor, multi-story homes, or hard water — professional cleaning pays for itself in time and safety alone.
