Clean, sparkling glass can boost your curb appeal, energy efficiency and the interior of your house. But many homeowners ask: how much does it cost to clean the windows of a 2-storey house?
In this guide, we will walk you through everything you need to know – from average window cleaning prices, factors that affect the cost, and what to expect from a window cleaning service, especially for residential properties and bigger home.

Cost to Clean Windows of a 2-storey House
For a 2-storey job, the cost of window cleaning is between $200 and $400, depending on your property type, number of windows and additional services required.
Here’s a basic price guide:
| Service Type | Estimated Cost |
|---|---|
| Basic exterior window cleaning | $150 – $250 |
| Interior and exterior window cleaning | $200 – $350 |
| Full service (tracks, screens, deep clean) | $300 – $450+ |
| Add-ons (Gutter Cleaning, Solar Panels) | +$50 – $150 (each) |
These are estimates and can vary depending on window type, accessibility, cleaning time, and whether your property is in a high-demand area or requires rope access
Factors the Cost
1. Number and Type of Windows
The more individual panes, float glass, or double-glazed windows your home has, the more expensive. Each single pane or pane of glass increases both labour and cost per pane. Beautiful but tricky windows, like French or bay styles, also add time to the window cleaning process.
2. Accessibility and Height
Second-storey and high-rise buildings require specialised window cleaning equipment, including telescopic poles, pressure cleaning systems, or even rope access for high-rise window cleaning. Difficulty of access, like awkward angles or tall ladders, increases operational costs.
3. Condition of the Windows
If there’s a layer of dirt, exotic building residues, or hard stains that haven’t been cleaned for a long time, the cleaning job will take longer. Grime in tracks or old paint splatters (often found in builder’s window cleaning) will also increase the quote.
4. External vs Internal Window Cleaning
External window cleaning is cheaper but most homes require internal window cleaning too – especially in the bathroom, kitchen, or garage cleaning areas. Internal services often include glass pane cleaning, screens, and sills, adding to the total window cleaning quote.

How Often Should You Clean Your Windows?
For a house, we recommend window cleaning every 3-6 months. If you live near dirt roads, or building sites or have insect and debris issues you may need to clean more often.
Commercial windows and commercial property windows – especially high-rise or commercial buildings – need to be cleaned monthly or quarterly as they are exposed and public-facing.
