Real window cleaning costs in Orange County
Here's what common window cleaning jobs cost in Orange County in 2026, for about 20 windows, inside and out, one visit.
Condo or small home — up to 10 windows, inside and out
Orange County prices run $100–$260; very small jobs are often charged the minimum of $80–$220.
Typical house — 20 windows plus 20 screens
The whole-house clean is $150–$410, and 20 screens at $2–$6 each add $40–$120. Ask whether screens are in the package first — some companies include them.
Two-story home — about 25 windows
Second-floor outside glass means ladders or a water-fed pole, so expect $230–$520. Any third- or fourth-floor window adds $3–$5 each.
Spring clean with hard water spots on 6 windows
A normal clean won't lift mineral spots from sprinklers. Removing them costs $10–$30 a window, or $60–$180 for six, on top of the $150–$410 clean.
New build or remodel — 20 windows after construction
Paint, labels and plaster dust take careful scraping, so post-construction work runs $10–$23 a window — $200–$460 for 20 windows.

Window cleaning cost in Orange County by home size
A small home or condo is $100–$260, a typical house of about 20 windows $150–$410, a large home of about 30 windows $310–$620, and 40 or more windows $520–$940 in Orange County.
Worked example: a typical Orange County house with 20 windows cleaned inside and out ($260 typical) plus 20 screens ($80 at $4 each) comes to about $340. Add track detailing ($80 for 20 windows) and it is about $420.
Height matters as much as size. A two-story home with about 25 windows is $230–$520, and any third- or fourth-floor window adds $3–$5. Glass too high for ladders and poles is rope or lift work, priced at $16–$40 a window.

| Who to hire | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Solo window cleaner (per-window pricing) | $8–$17 per window | One- and two-story homes, a few windows, flexible scheduling |
| Local window-cleaning company (crew) | $150–$410 per visit | A whole house in one visit, with insurance and ladders for second-floor glass |

Per-window price vs what you actually pay — the Orange County window cleaning bill
A $12-a-window headline becomes $320 on a 20-window house once 20 screens at $4 are added, and more if tracks are detailed. Small jobs hit the minimum charge of $80–$220 instead.
A whole-house package turns that into one number: $150–$410 for about 20 windows in Orange County. Compare packages on what they include — inside glass, screens, tracks, sills — not on the per-window rate alone.
What's included in an Orange County window cleaning quote (and what costs extra)
A standard quote covers washing and squeegeeing the glass, wiping frames and sills, and cleaning up drips. The headline price often leaves out:
- Screens — $2–$6 each, or $6–$10 for solar screens
- Tracks and sills, detailed — $2–$8 a window
- Hard water spots — $10–$30 a window to remove
- High or special glass — $3–$5 extra per window above the second floor; skylights $21–$35 each
Ask for the quote in writing, with the window count and every add-on listed.
How many windows you have
Most quotes start from the window count. Up to 10 windows is $100–$260 in Orange County, about 20 is $150–$410, and 40 or more $520–$940.
Inside and out, or outside only
Outside-only service is $100–$300 for a house — often the choice between full cleans. Inside glass adds the time spent moving furniture and blinds.
Stories and access
Ground-floor glass is quick. Second-floor glass needs ladders or a water-fed pole; third- and fourth-floor windows add $3–$5 each, and rope-access glass is $16–$40 a window.
Window type
French windows with many small panes are priced by the pane ($2–$8), storm windows $10–$45 each, and skylights $21–$35 each.
Condition of the glass
Routine dirt is included. Hard water spots cost $10–$30 a window to remove, and paint, labels and debris after construction $10–$23 a window.
Screens, tracks and sills
Screens run $2–$6 each (solar screens $6–$10), and track and sill detailing $2–$8 a window. Ask which of these the package covers.
Where in Orange County you live
Santa Ana & Anaheim runs highest because of tall glass, building rules and parking. Outlying areas may add a trip fee.
- Book a recurring plan.Most window cleaners take 10% to 20% off for twice-yearly or quarterly service, so a $260 clean can drop to about $220 a visit.
- Alternate full and outside-only cleans.An outside-only visit at $100–$300 between full cleans keeps the view clear for less.
- Get the whole house done at once.The minimum charge of $80–$220 makes a few windows poor value. Book the whole house in one visit.
- Team up with neighbors.Some companies take 10% to 20% off when several homes on the same street book the same day, because the crew saves drive time.
- Clean screens yourself.Rinsing screens with a hose and soft brush saves $2–$6 each — $40–$120 on 20 screens.
- Book ahead for spring and fall.Spring and fall are the busy seasons, so dates fill up. Book a few weeks ahead to get the day you want.

- Any extra charge for second-floor, third-floor or skylight glass
