Quick answer: Exterior window cleaning in Toronto starts at $130 for a bungalow, $170 for a two-storey home, and $210+ for a three-storey home. Interior and exterior service costs roughly double: from $230, $300, and $380+ respectively. The final price depends on window count, glass type, and access difficulty.

If you are searching for window cleaning near me in Toronto, these are real prices from DT Cleaning, a Toronto-based company with 500+ five-star Google reviews and over 2,300 properties serviced across the GTA. Below you will find our full pricing breakdown, what affects the window cleaner cost, real invoices from recent jobs, and what is included in every visit.

How much does window cleaning cost in Toronto in 2026?

Quick answer: DT Cleaning charges $130 to $210+ for exterior-only window cleaning and $230 to $380+ for interior plus exterior, depending on home size. Every quote is flat-rate: the number we send you is the number on the invoice, with no hourly billing and no surprise charges.

Here are our standard starting prices for homes across Toronto and the GTA:

Per-pane pricing: On a per-window basis, Toronto homeowners pay approximately $8-$15 per pane for interior and exterior cleaning, or $3-$8 per pane for exterior only. DT Cleaning quotes flat-rate per home rather than per pane, so your total is locked in before we arrive.

These are starting prices for average-sized homes. Your final quote depends on the total number of windows, glass type, and access difficulty.

How much does window cleaning cost for a two-storey house in Toronto?

Quick answer: A typical two-storey detached home in Toronto with 18 to 24 windows costs $170 to $250 for exterior-only cleaning and $300 to $400 for interior plus exterior in 2026. Published Toronto price guides put a two-storey exterior clean anywhere from $120 to $300; DT Cleaning's rate starts at $170.

The two-storey detached is the most common job we quote, so here is the math in plain numbers. A standard 3-4 bedroom home carries 18 to 24 windows. Exterior-only service on that house starts at $170 with us and runs 1.5 to 2 hours with a two-person crew. Add the interior side and the ticket starts at $300, with the crew inside for another hour or more.

What moves a two-storey quote above the starting rate: more than 24 windows, French or multi-pane glass, windows above a porch roof or a staircase, and hard water staining that needs extra passes. What does not move it: postal code, day of the week, or the season. Our rates stay the same year-round.

Many established companies in the city also carry a minimum service ticket of $150 to $200 before any glass gets touched. Our lowest residential rate is the $130 bungalow exterior clean, and we do not add trip fees anywhere inside the GTA.

What do real Toronto window cleaning jobs cost? Invoices from 2026

Quick answer: Recent DT Cleaning window invoices ranged from $400 for a full exterior clean on a North York luxury home to $1,100 for 32 French casements inside and out in Etobicoke, and about $5,000 for a full commercial property with 158 screens. Every number below comes from a published case study you can read.

Price tables show starting rates. Real invoices show what specific houses cost. These are actual jobs our crews completed in 2026, each documented with photos in its own case study:

The pattern across these invoices: window count and glass type set the price, not square footage. A 6,800 sq ft home with standard windows billed $400, while a smaller Etobicoke property with 32 French casements billed $1,100 for the same service category. Count your windows before you call and your quote gets faster and tighter.

What affects your window cleaning cost?

Quick answer: Five factors set your price: window count, home height, window type, interior versus exterior scope, and glass condition. Window count matters most. A bungalow with 8 windows books near $130; the same bungalow with 20 windows quotes higher because we price the actual count, not the square footage.

Number of windows

A bungalow with 8 windows costs less than a bungalow with 20. We price based on the actual count, not square footage or a flat "per home" rate. This way you pay for what you get.

Home height and roof access

Upper-floor windows on two and three-storey homes require water-fed telescopic poles or ladder work. Our crew uses Tucker purified-water systems for upper floors, which takes more setup time but leaves zero streaks and no mineral deposits. This is why multi-storey homes cost more than bungalows.

Window type

Standard sliding windows are fastest to clean. Older 4-side (storm) windows take longer because each panel needs separate handling. Bay windows, skylights, and floor-to-ceiling glass also add time. We quote these individually so you know the cost before we start.

Interior and exterior or exterior only

Our starting prices above show both exterior-only and interior-plus-exterior rates. Full-service cleaning runs roughly double the exterior-only price, though we often quote a bit less depending on the window layout and access. Most homeowners in Toronto book both interior and exterior for the best result.

Window condition

Windows that have not been cleaned in over a year, or windows with construction dust, hard water stains, or paint residue need extra attention. Post-construction window cleaning is priced separately because of the specialized products and scraping involved.

What you get with DT Cleaning

When you book window cleaning with us, here is what is included in every job:

Is DIY window cleaning worth it in Toronto?

Quick answer: DIY makes sense for ground-floor glass: $20 to $50 in supplies against a $130+ professional visit. Above the first floor the math flips. A two-storey DIY clean takes 4 to 8 hours with ladder risk and tap-water streaks, while a trained two-person crew finishes in 1.5 to 3 hours with purified water and $2M insurance.

According to Dmitriy Trubnik, owner of DT Cleaning, ground-floor windows are manageable as a DIY job. Anything above the first floor is where professional equipment and training make a real difference. CCOHS ladder-safety guidance is worth reading before any DIY work above the ground floor.

When is the best time to book window cleaning in Toronto?

Quick answer: Book in late March or early April to beat the spring rush, or in late August before the fall season fills up. Toronto's two busiest windows run April to June and September to November. Waiting until May usually means a 1 to 2 week delay at most companies. Prices at DT Cleaning stay the same in every season.

Spring and fall are the two busiest seasons for window cleaning in Toronto. Most homeowners book between April and June after winter grime, road salt from the city's winter maintenance, and ice have left mineral deposits on the glass. The second peak runs September through November before winter sets in.

Winter window cleaning is possible but depends on temperature. DT Cleaning works through most of the winter season as long as conditions allow safe ladder and equipment use. We do not charge seasonal premiums.

For the best results, plan two cleanings per year: one in spring after the thaw and one in fall before the cold returns. CMHC lists seasonal exterior care among the maintenance habits that protect a home's value. Homeowners on a regular schedule often get priority booking.

How much does condo window cleaning cost in Toronto?

Quick answer: High-rise condo and apartment window cleaning in Toronto costs $125 to $225 for exterior balcony glass and $175 to $375+ for full interior and exterior service. Pricing depends on floor level, number of windows, and balcony access.

DT Cleaning handles condo window cleaning across downtown Toronto, North York, and Scarborough. For units above the third floor, we clean from the balcony side using professional squeegee techniques and water-fed poles. Building access rules and scheduling with property management are handled by our crew.

If your condo board requires proof of insurance, we provide our $2 million CGL certificate and WSIB clearance before the job. Many Toronto condo owners searching for window cleaning near me book us after seeing our work in neighbouring units.

What happens during your window cleaning appointment?

Quick answer: A two-storey home with 18 to 24 windows takes 1.5 to 3 hours for a two-person crew: walk-around, exterior glass with purified-water poles, interior detailing if booked, frames and sills, then a final walkthrough with you before the crew leaves. You only need to be home for interior work.

Our crew arrives in a branded DT Cleaning van with all equipment. Here is how a typical residential job runs:

1. Quick walk-around with you to confirm which windows need cleaning and flag any concerns (cracked seals, damaged screens, hard water stains)
2. Exterior cleaning first using Tucker purified-water poles for upper floors and squeegees for ground level
3. Interior cleaning (if booked) with biodegradable solution, squeegee, and microfiber detailing on every pane
4. Frames and sills wiped down. Screens and tracks cleaned if you added those services
5. Final walkthrough together before the crew leaves. Any missed spots are handled on the spot

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to clean windows in Toronto?

Exterior window cleaning in Toronto starts at $130 for a bungalow, $170 for a two-storey, and $210+ for a three-storey home. Interior and exterior service starts at $230, $300, and $380+ respectively. Screen cleaning is $5 per screen and track cleaning is $7 per track with interior service.

What is a reasonable price for a window cleaner in Toronto?

For a standard two-storey home with 18-24 windows, expect to pay $170 to $250 for an exterior clean or $300 to $400 inside and out. Anything under $100 for a full home usually means corners are being cut. Anything over $400 for a standard home is above the 2026 market rate.

What is the average cost of window cleaning for a detached house in Toronto?

A typical two-storey detached with 18-24 windows averages $170 to $250 for exterior-only cleaning and $300 to $400 for interior plus exterior in 2026. Larger detached homes with French or multi-pane glass run higher: a recent 32-casement Etobicoke home billed $1,100 for both sides.

How much should I pay my window cleaner?

A fair price depends on your home. For exterior only, bungalows run $130-$180, two-storey homes $170-$250, and three-storey homes $210-$350. For interior and exterior, expect roughly double: bungalows from $230, two-storey from $300, three-storey from $380+. Always ask for a flat-rate quote.

Do window cleaners in Toronto have a minimum charge?

Many established Toronto companies set a minimum service ticket of $150 to $200 before any work starts. DT Cleaning's lowest residential rate is the $130 bungalow exterior clean, with no trip fees anywhere inside the GTA. Ask about the minimum before booking so a small job does not surprise you.

Do window cleaners charge extra for multi-storey homes?

Yes. Upper-floor windows need equipment like water-fed poles or extension ladders, which adds setup time and safety planning. At DT Cleaning, exterior starting prices reflect home height: $130 for one storey, $170 for two, $210+ for three. Interior and exterior service is roughly double.

Is gutter cleaning included with window cleaning?

Gutter and eavestrough cleaning is a separate service starting at $100. Many homeowners bundle it with window cleaning for a package discount. Ask us for combined pricing when you request your quote. We also offer leaf guard installation and downspout repair if needed.

Can I clean my windows myself to save money?

You can handle ground-floor windows with basic supplies. Upper-floor windows are harder to reach safely, and tap water leaves mineral streaks on the glass. A professional crew with purified-water equipment will get better results in less time, especially on second and third floors.

What should I ask before hiring a window cleaner?

Ask for proof of insurance ($2 million CGL minimum), WSIB coverage, and a flat-rate written quote. Check Google reviews for recent feedback. Confirm what is included: frames, tracks, and screens or just the glass. A company that avoids these questions is not worth hiring.

How often should I clean my windows in Toronto?

Most Toronto homes benefit from two cleanings per year: once in spring after winter grime, and once in fall before the cold sets in. Homes near construction sites, busy roads, or with many trees may need cleaning three to four times a year.

How much does condo window cleaning cost in Toronto?

Condo window cleaning in Toronto costs $125-$225 for exterior balcony glass and $175-$375+ for full interior and exterior service. The price depends on floor level, number of windows, and balcony access. DT Cleaning provides proof of $2 million insurance and WSIB clearance for condo boards that require it.

Do I need to be home for window cleaning?

For exterior-only cleaning, you do not need to be home. Leave side gates unlocked and let us know about any dogs or access issues. For interior window cleaning, we recommend being home or having someone available to let the crew in and do the final walkthrough.
