How much does window cleaning cost?

The short answer for the Eurobodalla coast

Most window cleaning jobs around Batemans Bay and the wider Eurobodalla land somewhere between a small call-out figure for a quick unit and a few hundred dollars for a full house inside and out. We don't quote by the hour and we don't give you a vague range and hope for the best. We look at the actual windows, count them, check the access, and give you a fixed price up front so you know exactly what you're paying before we start.

The reason there's a range at all is that no two homes on this coast are the same. A flat one-storey two-bedder in town with eight standard windows is a very different job to a split-level place out at Malua Bay with floor-to-ceiling glass, fly screens on everything and a deck that needs a ladder to reach the upstairs panes. Both are fair jobs, they just take different time and gear, so the price reflects that rather than a one-size figure that quietly overcharges the easy homes to cover the hard ones.

What actually moves the price

The biggest factor is simply how many panes there are and whether we're doing inside, outside, or both. Outside-only is the cheapest because we aren't moving your furniture or worrying about indoor surfaces. Inside and out roughly doubles the glass we touch and adds time for shifting blinds, lifting ornaments off sills and being careful around carpet and timber floors.

Height and access matter a lot. Ground-floor windows we can reach standing up are quick. Anything that needs a ladder, a pole system or care around a steep block costs more because it's slower and we take safety seriously. Tyson, Shanice and Lisa aren't going to rush a ladder job on a windy day just to hit a number.

Then there are the extras that people forget to mention until we arrive. Fly screens that need pulling out, washing and refitting. Window tracks and sills caked with sand. Glass balustrades on a deck. Skylights. Hard-water staining or paint speckle left over from a builder. These all add a bit, and we'd rather tell you about them in the quote than surprise you on the invoice.

Frequency helps too. A one-off clean on glass that hasn't been touched in two years is heavier work than a place we see every couple of months. If you set up a regular visit, each clean is lighter and we can usually keep the price keen.

Why coastal windows are their own thing

Living near the water is the whole reason this coast is beautiful, and it's also the reason your windows don't stay clean for long. Salt carries on the wind from Durras down to Moruya and settles on glass as a fine haze. You often can't see it as dirt, but it dulls the light and it grabs dust, so windows look tired faster than they would inland.

Sand is the other half of it. Onshore wind drives it into tracks, screens and the bottom corners of frames, and once it's wet it sets like a paste. We see this constantly in homes near the beach and in holiday lets that sit closed up between bookings. It means a proper window clean here isn't just a wipe of the glass, it's clearing the tracks and screens so the salt and grit aren't sitting there ready to streak the glass again next week.

Practically, this is why a lot of coastal owners do windows two to four times a year rather than once. It's also why we mention salt and sand removal in the quote, because a cheap quote that skips the tracks isn't really cleaning the window, it's just postponing the problem.

Holiday lets, rentals and bond cleans

A big slice of our window work ties into the rental and holiday-let market here, and the pricing context is a little different for those. If you run an Airbnb or a holiday house, clean windows are part of the photos and part of the review, so we often build window cleaning into a regular turnover or a seasonal refresh before peak periods. Done on a schedule, it's cheaper per visit than waiting until the glass is bad.

For end of lease and bond cleans, windows are usually included as part of the exit clean rather than priced as a separate window job. Our bond clean is a fixed price by size, from $450 plus GST for a one bedroom up to $850 plus GST for a four bedroom, carpet cleaning is a flat $50 per room plus GST, and we clean to the REINSW exit standard with a bond-back guarantee. If you only need the windows done for an inspection and nothing else, we can price that on its own, but for a full move-out it's worth getting the whole exit clean quoted together so nothing gets missed by the agent.

Property managers and owners who want a tidy place between tenants can ask us to fold windows into a regular clean, which keeps each visit lighter and the cost more predictable than a heavy one-off after a tenant moves on.

How we quote so there are no surprises

Every window job gets a fixed price agreed before we start, so you know the cost up front. For a straightforward home we can often quote from a few clear photos or a quick chat about how many windows you've, single or double storey, and whether you want inside, outside or both.

For larger or trickier places, a holiday house with a lot of glass, a commercial shopfront, an office or a council facility, we'll usually come and look so the number is right the first time. We would rather spend ten minutes measuring up than give you a figure over the phone that turns out to be wrong once we see the access.

When you get the quote, it spells out what's included, inside or out, screens, tracks, sills, and any extras like balustrades or skylights. If something changes on the day, say you decide you want the screens done after all, we tell you the new price before we do it, never after. That up-front habit is the same way we run our bond cleans, carpet jobs and commercial work, and it's why people on this coast keep calling us back.

The honest bit about cheap quotes

You can always find someone to do windows for less, and sometimes that's genuinely the right call for a quick one-off. But the cheapest quote often hides one of two things. Either it's glass-only with the tracks and screens left full of sand, so the windows look streaky again within days, or it doesn't account for the height and access on your particular block and the price quietly grows once they arrive.

We use low-tox products, we're police-checked and fully insured, and we're open seven days, which matters when you're juggling a holiday-let changeover or a busy household. Those things are part of what you're paying for, not an upsell. As a local Indigenous-owned business that has been working this coast since 2023, our name is on every job, and our 5.0 rating from 110 Google reviews exists because we do the unglamorous parts properly, not just the easy panes.

Getting a price for your windows

If you want a real number for your place, the quickest path is to give us a ring on 0479 184 498 or send through a couple of photos and tell us roughly how many windows, how many storeys, and whether you want inside, outside or both. We'll come back with a fixed price, and if it's a bigger job we'll arrange a quick look so the quote is solid.

Whether it's a single coastal cottage, a holiday house getting ready for summer bookings, a shopfront in town or windows folded into a bond clean or regular home clean, we cover the whole Eurobodalla from Durras to Moruya. Tell us what you need and we'll give you an honest price and a clean that actually lasts past the next sea breeze.
