Count the panes once. Bill them every season after.
Window cleaning has two engines: residential homes that book once or twice a year, and storefront routes that run every week or month. We build window cleaners a website that quotes clearly, phone answering that collects the details you price from, and a CRM that remembers every pane, screen and ladder setup.
- “window cleaning near me”
- “window washing service residential”
- “how much does window cleaning cost”
- “storefront window cleaning”
- “hard water stain removal windows”
- “screen cleaning and repair”
- “solar panel cleaning near me”
A repeat business that is easy to run as one-off jobs
Residential window cleaning is something people put off until they notice it: spring sunlight through streaked glass, a party coming up, a house going on the market. They search, compare a few quotes, and book. Steadier money comes from turning that one booking into a standing spring and fall visit. A lead marketplace charges for the first introduction; bringing that customer back each season is up to you, and it takes a customer list and a calendar you own.
Pricing is specific. Many residential quotes are built on pane count or window count, inside and out, stories, screen and track cleaning, French panes, skylights, and hard water treatment. Customers rarely know their pane count, so the quote needs photos, a quick visit, or a smart form. Storefront work is simpler to price and recurs weekly, biweekly or monthly, and in colder climates it can keep a route moving through winter.
Weather drives the calendar. Rain days push residential jobs, freezing temperatures limit exterior work in northern states, and pollen season and hard water spots bring their own calls depending on where you work. If you also offer gutters, pressure washing, solar panels or holiday lighting, the CRM needs to handle add-ons without turning into a mess.
Pages that help you price before you show up
The site should collect what you price from, set expectations about inside versus outside service, and make twice-a-year scheduling feel normal.
Residential window cleaning page
Inside and out, screens, tracks and sills, what affects price, and how your crew protects floors and furniture.
Quote request with photos
Asks for stories, approximate window count, special windows and photos, so you can quote without a drive.
Storefront and commercial page
Recurring route service for shops, offices and restaurants, with how scheduling and monthly billing work.
Hard water and restoration page
Mineral stains, sprinkler spots and post-construction cleanup, which you can price apart from routine cleaning and which people search for by name.
Add-on services page
Gutters, screens, solar panels, pressure washing and holiday lighting, if you offer them, so one visit covers more.
Seasonal plans page
Spring and fall service plans with reserved dates, so a one-time customer has an easy way to become a scheduled one.
Calls that capture the pane count
When you are on a ladder or a water-fed pole and the phone rings, an AI receptionist takes the call in your company's voice, gathers the pricing details and books the visit or a quote.
How AI reception worksPane counts, routes and recurring visits
Window cleaning is quick, repeatable work. We build the CRM so the second visit is already on the calendar and storefront routes don't need rebuilding every week.
Property window inventory
Pane or window counts by type, stories, special windows and access notes saved per address, so nobody recounts panes for the next quote.
Spring and fall auto-scheduling
Residential customers on a plan get their next visit created automatically, with a text to confirm or move it.
Storefront routes
Weekly, biweekly or monthly commercial stops ordered by route, with monthly invoicing to each account.
Equipment and access notes
Ladder sizes, water-fed pole needs, roof access and gate codes, so another tech can pick up the job without a site visit first.
Add-ons on the same visit
Gutters, screens, solar panels and lighting added to the visit and the invoice without a separate job.
Rain-day reshuffle
Push a rained-out day and text every customer the new time at once.
Damage and condition photos
Photos of cracked seals, broken screens or existing damage, logged before work starts.
Make twice a year the default
A customer who books spring and fall every year gives you two visits a year without a new marketing cost for either one. Reach your list, with consent, at the moments people notice their windows.
| When | Campaign | Why it works |
|---|---|---|
| Early spring | Spring clean booking | The first sunny days show every streak. Offer last year's customers their usual dates first. |
| Late spring | Graduations and events | Remind customers to book before graduation and summer party dates fill your schedule. |
| Late summer | Fall plan sign-up | Offer a reserved fall date, with screens and gutters as add-ons. |
| Before the holidays | Holiday hosting and lighting | Clean windows before guests arrive, and if you install holiday lights, bundle them. |
| Slow season | Storefront outreach to existing contacts | Pitch recurring service to business owners among your residential customers and current accounts. |
Window Cleaning, answered.
Can we quote window cleaning without a site visit?
Often, yes. The form and the receptionist collect stories, window count, special windows and photos, and the CRM saves it all for next time.
How do storefront routes get billed?
Each account can be billed per visit or monthly, with invoices sent automatically and cards charged automatically for accounts that keep one on file.
Can the CRM remind customers about fall cleaning?
Yes. Customers on a seasonal plan get their next visit scheduled automatically, and past customers who agreed to hear from you get a reminder to book.
We also clean gutters and solar panels. Can those go on one invoice?
Yes. Add-ons sit on the same visit and the same invoice, and each has its own price and history.
