Window Cleaning in Nashville, Homes and Businesses

Window cleaning runs $5 to $10 per pane, per side. A pane is one piece of glass rather than one window, so a six over six double hung sash counts as twelve panes, and exterior and interior are counted separately. A typical home with around twenty panes comes to $100 to $200 for the outside and $200 to $400 inside and out. Where you land in that range depends on pane size, height and access, and how long it has been since the last clean.

Two ways to pay less. If you are booking a house wash anyway, a spot-free exterior glass rinse is $59 flat on top, or the full window cleaning is 15% off when it is done on the same visit. Both work because the trip to your property is already paid for.

Yes, and on residential work most people want both. Interior glass is cleaned by hand rather than with the pure water system, because the last thing you want indoors is volume of water. We put drop cloths down under every window, move what needs moving and put it back, and vacuum the tracks while we are there. Commercial interior glass is usually scheduled separately from exterior because the access and timing are different.

Included on residential work. Screens come out, get washed separately, dry, and go back in the opening they came from. Tracks are vacuumed and wiped and sills and frames get done. A spotless pane behind a grey screen still looks dirty, so treating screens as an optional extra never made sense to us. On commercial work it depends on whether screens are fitted at all, and we will say so in the quote.

Most homes here do well on twice a year, typically after the spring pollen drop and again in autumn once the leaves are down. Once a year is enough on a property that is sheltered or not surrounded by trees. Commercial glass at street level is different, because it stops looking maintained within a couple of weeks of foot traffic and weather, so storefronts usually run weekly to monthly and offices quarterly.

Tap water carries dissolved minerals which stay behind as spots and film when it dries on glass. Purified water has had them removed, so it dries leaving nothing behind and does not need squeegeeing by hand, which is what lets upper floor glass be cleaned from the ground rather than off a ladder. It is demineralized rather than chemical free. Worth knowing though: it is not the right tool for every job. A first clean on glass that has not been touched in a year needs an applicator and squeegee with blade work, because built-up grime, bug residue and mineral spotting do not come off with a brush pass. We use traditional methods for first cleans and pure water for maintenance visits and height.

Both, and which one depends on the job rather than on preference. Almost every first clean is traditional: applicator and squeegee, with blade work where the glass needs it. Glass that has gone a year or more carries grime, bug residue and mineral spotting that only comes off with contact. Once it has been cleaned properly once, maintenance visits are well suited to a water fed pole and purified water, which is faster, reaches the frames and seals, and lets us do upper floors from the ground instead of off a ladder. Interior glass is always done by hand.

Often, but not always, and it depends on how long they have been there. Mineral deposits from sprinklers and irrigation sit on the surface at first and come off with a restoration treatment. Left for years they etch into the glass itself, and at that point the pane is damaged rather than dirty and no cleaning will fix it. We test a section and tell you honestly which one you have before quoting the work.

No, and nobody can. Haze between the panes means the seal on the double glazed unit has failed and moisture has got inside. The surface you would need to clean is sealed within the unit. That window needs the glass unit replaced, which is glazing work rather than cleaning. We will point it out if we spot it rather than cleaning around it and saying nothing.

Yes, and it is half of what this page is for. Weekly, every two weeks, monthly or quarterly, scheduled before you open or after you close so your customers never see us working. Entry glass, door frames and push plates get done as well as the panes. If you run more than one location we can put them on one schedule and one invoice, and we send a COI to you or your management company without being chased for it.

For exterior only work, no. We need water access and a way through any gates. If interior glass is in scope then somebody needs to let us in, though it does not have to be you, and plenty of customers leave a key or a code. We send photos when the work is finished either way.

Clean glass and rain is usually fine. Rain is close to distilled and lands on a surface with nothing on it for the water to pick up and streak, so properly cleaned windows shed it. What does mark glass is rain running off a dirty roof or dirty gutters above it, which is a different problem and one worth looking at if it keeps happening.
