Getting an Accurate Quote

Most window washing companies quote based on window count and property specifics. The best approach is to request a quote for your home.

The published starting price

Window washing in Nanaimo typically starts at $99 for a small home and increases based on the number of windows, storeys, and access difficulty. That is the pricing line on the window washing Nanaimo page. It is a start, not a flat rate for every house. A small single-storey home with straightforward access is the situation that line describes. More glass, a second or third storey, or difficult access moves the quote up from $99.

Storefronts are priced separately. Storefronts typically start around $150 on the commercial window page. Use that figure for a shopfront, not for a house, and do not average it with the residential starting price.

What you are paying for

The window page describes interior and exterior glass, frames, sills, and screens. Screens are removed, cleaned, and reinstalled. Tracks are cleaned where they can be reached. If one quote includes interior glass and screens and another is exterior glass only, the lower number is a smaller job. Ask both companies to price the same list before you decide.

Count of windows, including patio doors and skylights if those are in scope.
Storeys, and whether upper panes need a pole or a ladder.
Interior as well as exterior, or exterior only.
Screens, frames, and sills.
Heavy soil: hard water, construction dust, or paint mist, which take longer than a maintenance wash.

Hard water spots and post-construction residue are not the same minutes as a pane that is only dusty. If sprinklers have etched the glass, or a renovation left paint mist, say so in the request. Those are extra work. Leaving them out of the description is how a quote comes back too low and the stains are still there at the end of the visit.

What does not change the published start

The $99 figure is not a per-window rate, and this site does not publish a per-pane price. Do not multiply a guess by your window count and treat it as the company price. Send the count, the storeys, and a couple of photos instead. French doors, a wall of sliders, and a grid of small panes all take longer than the same number of simple picture windows.

Frequency is a different decision from the price of one visit. Most Nanaimo homes in the site's window guidance are on a twice-a-year rhythm. Oceanfront glass is often more often because of salt. Neither schedule changes the fact that a single visit starts from the published residential line and then follows the house. Read how often to clean windows in Nanaimo when you are deciding how many visits a year, and how to choose a window cleaner when you are deciding what the visit should include.

A fair way to compare quotes

Put the scope in one sentence and send it to each company. For example: exterior and interior, screens on and off, two storeys, no construction residue. Then compare. A price under the starting context of a small home, for a large two-storey with interior included, is a reason to ask what was left out, not a reason to celebrate.

Insurance is a fair question. So is how they reach the upper floor. A ladder against a gutter, or a water-fed pole from the ground, should be something they can describe. If you are weighing a weekend of DIY against the quote, the comparison post is professional versus DIY window cleaning. Ground-floor maintenance is a reasonable DIY. Upper storeys and heavy mineral stains are where the quote usually earns its place.
