Text Terry about window cleaning

OnHand Home is not a window cleaner. I help you find one, and you get their business name before you agree to anything. There is no charge for my help. You pay the window cleaner for the work.

What the work involves

A window cleaner washes the glass, wipes the frames and sills, and dries the glass so it does not streak. The first decision is inside, outside, or both. Many homeowners start with the outside, because that is where the dirt and spots build up.

Ask about screens and tracks. Some cleaners take the screens off and wash them. Some also clean the tracks, where dust and dead bugs collect. Others do glass only. The list should say which.

Second-story windows need a ladder or a long pole. Ask how the cleaner reaches them, and whether the price changes with the height.

Why Round Rock homeowners hire a window cleaner

The glass has a cloudy film that wiping does not remove
White spots from sprinklers, which are often mineral spots left by hard water
Windows are too high or too many to do yourself
You are getting the house ready to sell, or for a party
Construction or yard work left dust and splatter
Screens and tracks are dirty and you want them done too

What to decide before you book

Outside only, or inside too? Outside only is quicker. Inside takes more care around furniture and floors.
Glass only, or screens and tracks? Tracks and screens are extra work. Decide up front.
One time or a schedule? A first clean takes the longest. Later visits can be lighter if windows stay on a schedule.
Spots that will not wipe off? If water has etched the glass, cleaning may not remove it. Ask the cleaner what they see before you pay for the work.

What changes the price

Window cleaning is priced by the count, the size and the access. Ask for the count in the quote.

The number of windows or panes, and their sizes
Inside, outside, or both
Screens, tracks and sills, and whether each is included
Second-story or hard-to-reach windows, and the equipment needed
Heavy buildup, paint, stickers or construction residue
Hard water spots that need extra work
The time since the last clean

Questions to ask the window cleaner

Use these to compare quotes side by side.

Are screens and tracks included?These are the most common extras, and they change the time on site.
How do you reach the second-story windows?You want a clear plan for ladders and poles. Ask how they work around power lines and landscaping.
Do you clean the inside, and will you move my furniture?Decide who moves what before the day.
What will you do about the spots on the glass?Some spots are on the surface. Others are in the glass. The cleaner should tell you which they are.
Are you insured if a window or frame is damaged?Ask for the answer in writing before the visit.
How many windows are in the price, and what happens if there are more?Count on the same page as the cleaner.

Ladders and power lines

The Consumer Product Safety Commission warns: never use a ladder near overhead wires. You can be electrocuted if the ladder contacts the electrical wires.

If you plan to clean high windows yourself, look up first. If power lines are near the house, hire a pro.

Safety note

The U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission warns that a ladder touching overhead electrical wires can electrocute the person on it. Check for wires near any window before a ladder goes up.
