What I do, and what I don't. Ground-based residential window washing only. I clean from the ground with professional pole equipment, or from inside the house if upper windows can be reached that way. No ladders, no roof access. If your job needs either, I'll tell you straight on the call and point you toward someone who does that work properly.
Pricing

Plain numbers, no surprises.

Exterior windows are the main job. Inside is an add-on if you want it. Pricing is per window. The estimate is built from your window count. I confirm the count on the day. If it's off, you see the new total before I start work.

Exterior · the main job

  • Ground-floor$10/window
  • Second-storey$14/window

Add-ons

  • Inside, any floor$10/window
  • Screens$3/window

HST applies. Cash or e-transfer.

One thing on specialty work. Standard pricing covers normal dirt, pollen, salt spray, and everyday buildup. Hard-water staining, paint, adhesive, construction debris, storm windows, or windows that can't be reached properly from the ground are quoted separately. If your job involves any of that, I confirm the price with you before starting.

Quick math · twelve-window house

  • 12 windows, exterior only$120

Every exterior job comes with:

  • A streak-free finish on every window

Where I clean

Window washing for homes and cottages across Richmond and Inverness counties.

Based in River Bourgeois. I cover all of Richmond County, and as far as Port Hood, Mabou, Inverness, Whycocomagh, and Baddeck. The towns in between, too. Spring cottage openings are some of my favourite jobs.

On the day

Ground-based, ladder-free.

Outside windows get cleaned from the ground using a 25-foot extension pole. That reaches the second storey, the dormers, and most third-storey windows from the ground. No ladders on your lawn. No risk of me falling off your roof.

The water is either distilled or run through a reverse-osmosis filter, so it dries clear. No mineral spots, no streaks.

If you add the inside, I clean by hand, room by room. Frames and sills wiped down. Boot covers on at the door. Dry floors, clean trim.

When the work is done, I write you a receipt on the spot.

Common questions

Before you call.

How long does a typical job take?

Most houses take an hour or two.

Do I need to be home?

For exterior, no. I work from the outside. Just make sure I have access to the back of the house. If you've added inside windows, somebody needs to be home to let me in.

Can you reach my second-storey windows?

Yes, most of them. I use a 25-foot extension pole from the ground. That reaches the second storey, the dormers, and most third-storey windows. For anything the pole can't reach, I clean from inside the house if the geometry allows. I don't use ladders, so I'll tell you if I can't reach one of the windows.

Do you do cottages?

Yes. Opening up for the season is one of my favourite jobs. Tell me when you'll be there and I'll fit it in.

Do you clean windows year-round?

Spring through fall mostly. I'll clean in the shoulder seasons if the weather cooperates. Below freezing, the water can streak before I get to it, so I don't book those days.

Do you clean the inside too?

Yes, as an add-on. $10 per window, any floor. Most homeowners just book the outside, especially in the spring. If you want both, just tell me when you call.

What about screens?

$3 per window. I take them out, clean them, put them back. If you don't want screens cleaned, I leave them where they are.

Are you insured?

Fully insured. $2 million general liability policy through TD Commercial Insurance. Certificate available on request. Just ask and I will send it before I show up. Owner-operated by Ben Kelly out of River Bourgeois.

How do I pay?

Cash or e-transfer when the work is done. I write you a receipt on the spot. Email follow-up if you want one for your records.
