Priced the way Window Cleaning work is billed
A whole-home windows and a track & sill detail don't get quoted the same way, so why would every trade? SideWRK prices Window Cleaning the way the work is really billed: per window — about $8 a window — with add-ons billed flat. Tap the work, put in the numbers, and the line prices itself — no napkin math, no undercharging a job because you rushed the quote.
What moves a Window Cleaning price
Two Window Cleaning jobs that look the same on paper can be a hundred dollars apart once you're on site. Here's what actually changes the number — the things to size up before you quote:
- Count and type — you price per pane, and grids, storms, and French panes all count as more glass.
- Inside and out — doing both sides roughly doubles the panes, and screens are their own add-on.
- Height and access — second-story and hard-to-reach windows mean a pole or ladder time.
What a Window Cleaning job puts on the record
Every trade documents something different, and Window Cleaning is no exception. SideWRK captures the number of stories and the rest of what your work needs on the record — the details that protect you and make the invoice stand up:
- the number of stories
- the interior/exterior scope
- a work-at-height and rope-descent note for high-rise (OSHA anchorage rules)
Example note on a job: "Advised hard-water staining may not fully clear without restoration."
How to price a Window Cleaning job in SideWRK
- 1
Start the job and add your work
Open a Window Cleaning job and tap a suggestion like "Whole-home windows" or "Interior & exterior" — the common work is already loaded, so you tap instead of type.
- 2
Price it per window
Enter the numbers and the line prices itself, per window — about $8 a window — with add-ons billed flat. Put parts on at your cost so what you clear is real profit, not just the Window Cleaning ticket total.
- 3
Note the details
Add a plain-English note — for example, "Advised hard-water staining may not fully clear without restoration." — and a photo of the work.
- 4
Log what the job needs
Capture the Window Cleaning-specific records: the number of stories, and the interior/exterior scope.
- 5
Send it and get paid
Send the Window Cleaning estimate for approval. Your customer approves from their phone, the invoice goes out, and you get paid — card, Apple Pay, or straight to Venmo, Zelle, or Cash App.
Staying on the right side of the rules
SideWRK documents your Window Cleaning work — it doesn't make you licensed, and it says so plainly. What to know: a business license in some places and OSHA work-at-height and rope-descent rules — high-rise rope descent needs owner-certified anchorages. The app flags the permit and license triggers so they never surprise you mid-job.
