Real window cleaning costs in Winston-Salem
Here's what common window cleaning jobs cost in Winston-Salem in 2026, for about 20 windows, inside and out, one visit.
Condo or small home — up to 10 windows, inside and out
Winston-Salem prices run $90–$220; very small jobs are often charged the minimum of $65–$180.
Typical house — 20 windows plus 20 screens
The whole-house clean is $130–$360, and 20 screens at $2–$5 each add $40–$100. 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 $190–$440. Any third- or fourth-floor window adds $3–$4 each.
Spring clean with hard water spots on 6 windows
A normal clean won't lift mineral spots from sprinklers. Removing them costs $9–$25 a window, or $54–$150 for six, on top of the $130–$360 clean.
New build or remodel — 20 windows after construction
Paint, labels and plaster dust take careful scraping, so post-construction work runs $9–$19 a window — $180–$380 for 20 windows.
How much does window cleaning cost in Winston-Salem?
$130–$360 per visit, with $220 what most Winston-Salem homeowners actually pay for a typical house. Outside only drops that to $90–$250; a two-story home with about 25 windows is $190–$440.
Bigger homes cost more in total, not per window. A large home with about 30 windows runs $260–$530 here, and 40 or more windows $440–$790. Prices are built from 67 sources checked in November 2026.

What moves a window cleaning quote in Winston-Salem:

Window cleaning cost in Winston-Salem by home size
A small home or condo is $90–$220, a typical house of about 20 windows $130–$360, a large home of about 30 windows $260–$530, and 40 or more windows $440–$790 in Winston-Salem.
Worked example: a typical Winston-Salem house with 20 windows cleaned inside and out ($220 typical) plus 20 screens ($80 at $4 each) comes to about $300. Add track detailing ($80 for 20 windows) and it is about $380.
Height matters as much as size. A two-story home with about 25 windows is $190–$440, and any third- or fourth-floor window adds $3–$4. Glass too high for ladders and poles is rope or lift work, priced at $13–$35 a window.
Who to hire for window cleaning in Winston-Salem
| Who to hire | Cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|
| Solo window cleaner (per-window pricing) | $7–$14 per window | One- and two-story homes, a few windows, flexible scheduling |
| Local window-cleaning company (crew) | $130–$360 per visit | A whole house in one visit, with insurance and ladders for second-floor glass |
| National franchise (package price) | $150–$290 per visit | Fixed packages by window count, guarantees and recurring plans |
| Outside-only service (water-fed pole) | $90–$250 per visit | Between full cleans, or when you only need the outside glass done |

| Hard water restoration | $9–$25 per window | Sprinkler or mineral spots a normal clean won't remove |
| Post-construction window cleaning | $9–$19 per window | New builds and remodels: paint, labels, plaster and caulk on the glass |

Per-window price vs what you actually pay — the Winston-Salem window cleaning bill
An $11-a-window headline becomes $300 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 $65–$180 instead.
A whole-house package turns that into one number: $130–$360 for about 20 windows in Winston-Salem. Compare packages on what they include — inside glass, screens, tracks, sills — not on the per-window rate alone.
What's included in a Winston-Salem 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–$5 each, or $5–$9 for solar screens
- Tracks and sills, detailed — $2–$7 a window
- Hard water spots — $9–$25 a window to remove
- High or special glass — $3–$4 extra per window above the second floor; skylights $18–$30 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 $90–$220 in Winston-Salem, about 20 is $130–$360, and 40 or more $440–$790.
Inside and out, or outside only
Outside-only service is $90–$250 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–$4 each, and rope-access glass is $13–$35 a window.
Window type
French windows with many small panes are priced by the pane ($2–$7), storm windows $9–$40 each, and skylights $18–$30 each.
Condition of the glass
Routine dirt is included. Hard water spots cost $9–$25 a window to remove, and paint, labels and debris after construction $9–$19 a window.
Screens, tracks and sills
Screens run $2–$5 each (solar screens $5–$9), and track and sill detailing $2–$7 a window. Ask which of these the package covers.
Where in Winston-Salem you live
Downtown & the Arts District 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 $220 clean can drop to about $185 a visit.
- Alternate full and outside-only cleans.An outside-only visit at $90–$250 between full cleans keeps the view clear for less.
- Get the whole house done at once.The minimum charge of $65–$180 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–$5 each — $40–$100 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.
