How window cleaning businesses bill
Prices by the pane or by the window, inside and out, with screens, tracks, hard-water stain removal and upper-story access charged on top.
Window cleaning businesses commonly use "Due on completion; storefront routes billed monthly, Net 15", so payment is due 15 days after the invoice date.

Window Cleaning invoicing tips
- Count and state panes rather than windows, since one double-hung window with grids can be one pane or twelve depending on how you price, and the count is what the customer checks against the house.
- Separate second-story and ladder work from ground-floor panes, because height drives your time and insurance cost and a flat per-window price hides that from the customer.
- Record scratched glass, failed seals that fog between panes and etched glass on the invoice before you start, because a clean pane makes those defects easier to see and they get blamed on the cleaning.
- Price hard-water and construction-debris removal by the pane on its own line; mineral spots and paint or mortar splatter need blades or acid-free removers and take far longer than a maintenance clean.
Window Cleaning billing disputes to head off
- Streaks seen in low morning sun are the usual complaint; a note offering a free touch-up within 48 hours turns it into a callback rather than a refund.
- Storefront customers whose clean was skipped for rain still get a full monthly bill; listing each visit date on the invoice shows exactly which cleans happened.
