What drives the price
- Number of windows and panes, including multi-pane and large picture windows
- Stories and reach — upper glass needing ladders or water-fed poles takes longer
- Whether screens come off, get washed, and go back on as part of the visit
- Interior and exterior cleaning versus exterior only
- Hard-water spotting, paint flecks, or construction residue needing extra passes
- Storm windows, skylights, and glass doors added to the count
