Why Is Window Cleaning So Expensive?
At Clear Choice Services, we get this question a lot — and it’s a fair one. Window cleaning is one of those services that seems simple, but the pricing can vary dramatically depending on who you hire. Let’s break down why that is, and why we believe it doesn’t have to be expensive at all.
My Experience in This Industry
I’ve been in the window cleaning business for 10 years — and this isn’t a flex. I just want you to know that I’ve done it all: I started as a new hire, worked my way up as a manager, became a route manager, handled sales, and now I own my own company.
That journey taught me two things that define how I run Clear Choice Services:
- Workers deserve better. Risking your life on ladders shouldn’t mean living paycheck to paycheck.
- Homeowners deserve better. You should get detailed, respectful work that doesn’t damage your home or your wallet.
These aren’t just ideas — they are the foundation of my business model. I’m building Clear Choice Services in the most ethical, sustainable way I know how.
Why Small Businesses Often Charge More
Most small window cleaning companies charge more per job than you’d expect — and it’s not out of greed. It’s usually because of a lack of scalability.
Without extra hands on deck, one-person operations juggle everything — cleaning, driving, quoting, marketing, admin — and that leads to higher prices per job just to stay afloat. It’s the “small shop tax,” and I get why that feels frustrating as a customer.
Why Big Companies Aren’t Always Cheaper Either
You’d think that a company with five locations and a full crew would charge less — thanks to scale. But often, those bigger operations come with middle management, corporate overhead, and internal complexity. And unfortunately, all of those costs trickle down to you, the customer.
It’s the irony of the industry: both small and big companies can overcharge — for very different reasons.
Our Philosophy: Efficiency Without Overcharging
At Clear Choice Services, we want to grow — we want to hire skilled cleaners and empower great managers — but not at your expense. We’re building efficiency from the ground up, not stacking up layers of cost just to look bigger.
We charge a fair price for high-quality work. That means no shortcuts, no hidden fees, and no inflated rates just to cover our backend operations. We’re working smarter, not just harder.
You Deserve Clean Windows — Without the Corporate Price Tag
We’re proud to deliver the same (or better) quality than national brands — but with more personalized service, faster communication, and honest pricing that respects your home and your budget.
