Build a Window Cleaning Price From Panes, Access and Time
Price a job from pane counts, access complexity, extras, minimum charge and effective hourly return.
Window-cleaning quotes become more consistent when the unit is the work actually performed. Counting panes or sections, then adding screens, tracks, height and access, makes the time and price drivers visible.
Inputs that matter
Start with the facts that actually change the result. Keep units and definitions consistent so the output can be compared with future jobs or records.
- Pane or section counts by type
- Screens, tracks, storm windows or other extras
- Height, access method and complexity multiplier
- Minimum charge and target hourly return
Method
- Count the serviceable panes or sections consistently.
- Apply add-ons for work that adds real time or equipment needs.
- Estimate total labor time and compare the quote with the target hourly return.
- Respect a minimum charge when travel and setup make small jobs uneconomic.
Common mistakes
- Counting “windows” when one window contains many separate panes.
- Using a flat price without access or height adjustments.
- Ignoring travel and setup on small jobs.
Use the free tool for the one-off answer
The connected tool is intentionally narrow: answer this decision, print or export the result, and keep the calculation transparent. It does not force a registration flow or subscription.
When the workflow becomes a system
One calculation is useful once. When the same decision starts repeating across customers, properties, products, events or route days, the valuable part becomes the history: what was decided, what actually happened, and what changed. That is the boundary between the free tool and PaneRoute.
Frequently asked questions

Window-cleaning quotes become more consistent when the unit is the work actually performed. Counting panes or sections, then adding screens, tracks, height and access, makes the time and price drivers visible.
Is the connected calculator or planner free?
Yes. The connected Apps That Stay browser tool is free to use. It is designed for one focused decision, while the matching paid app is for keeping records and repeated workflows over time.
Where does the tool data go?
The connected free tool is local-first and keeps working inputs in the browser profile you use. Export important business records separately when the workflow becomes something you need to retain.
