Billing Scenarios for Window Cleaners

How to label charges so every invoice makes sense the moment your clients see it.

1.
Initial deep clean surcharge; Standard window cleaning
First-time home with heavy buildup
A first visit takes longer, so you separate the deep clean from the normal service.
2.
Exterior window cleaning; Sill and frame wipe
Exterior-only service for a house or storefront
This sets the expectation that interiors are not included.
3.
Screen cleaning; Track detailing
Screens and tracks added to a regular clean
Add-ons are easy to miss, so you show the extra work.
4.
Stain removal per pane; Chemical treatment fee
Hard water stains or paint overspray on glass
Take quick photos of heavy buildup or stains before you start and after you finish, and attach them to the invoice.
5.
High-access surcharge; Lift or rope access rental
High access or ladder work above safe reach
Extra risk and equipment should be priced clearly.
6.
Construction debris removal; Post-construction glass cleanup
Construction dust and adhesive take extra time and care.

Common Window Cleaner Invoicing Mistakes

Invoicing gets messy when details live in your head. Use these fixes to make charges clear and prevent disputes.

Mistake
How to fix it
Quoting one flat price without a written scope leads to arguments and unpaid extras.
Write a short scope that lists surfaces, sides, add-ons, height limits, and exclusions, and attach it to the estimate and invoice.
Not stating deposit and cancellation terms causes last minute cancellations and lost income.
Set a deposit amount and a clear cancellation window in your terms, and show the deposit applied to the final balance.
Add your business license number and insurance details, and reference any required permits or inspections; check local rules.

Using vague units like “windows” creates confusion about counts and cost.
Use clear units such as pane counts or sides cleaned, and note size thresholds that change the rate.
Forgetting travel or parking costs cuts your margin.
Add these costs in your terms and record them on the invoice so they are billed and paid.

Window Cleaning Invoice FAQs

Use our Window Cleaning Invoice Template to price panes, screens, stain removal, ladders, and route work, with terms and compliance for window washers, clear answers.

How do I price per-pane vs per-window for storefront routes?

List panes or window units as separate quantities. Add a route discount on recurring stops. Example: “Exterior panes 120 @ $2.25 = $270; Monthly route discount 10% = -$27.”

What should I include for screen removal and track cleaning?

Show these as add-ons, not bundled. Note any heavy debris. Example: “Screen remove/reinstall 18 @ $1.50 = $27; Track deep clean 18 @ $3 = $54.”

How do I bill hard water stain removal or sticker scraping?

Treat restoration as a separate service with higher rates. Add a waiver note. Example: “Glass restoration, patio doors 2 @ $45 = $90; Scraper-safe waiver on file.”

What fee covers ladder or roof access on a two-story home?

Use an access fee when ladders or roof anchors add time and risk. Example: “Second-story ladder access fee 1 @ $25 = $25; Skylight clean 2 @ $12 = $24.”

How should I charge for lift rental and permits on a mid-rise?

Break out equipment and permits as pass-throughs plus markup. Rules vary—check local rules. Example: “80’ boom lift 1 day @ $420 = $420; Permit processing 1 @ $35 = $35.”

What belongs on a post-construction clean for a builder?

Separate the initial scrape, detail pass, and debris disposal. Example: “Post-construction scrape 46 panes @ $3.50 = $161; Detail pass 4 hrs @ $55 = $220; Disposal 1 @ $15 = $15.”

Can I add a rush fee for same-day or after-hours service?

Yes. Use a clear percentage or flat fee. Example: “Same-day rush 1 @ $40 = $40; After-hours storefront 2 hrs @ $70 = $140.”

How do I handle monthly route billing and cancellations?

Bill on a set day each month with net terms. Add a same-day cancellation fee. Example: “Monthly storefront plan 1 @ $180 = $180; Cancel inside 24 hrs 1 @ $25 = $25.”
