How Much Does Window Cleaning Cost in San Antonio?
Most San Antonio homes pay between about $110 and $350 to get the windows cleaned. A San Antonio window cleaning cost page lists $7 to $9 per standard window. That puts a 15 window house at $110 to $130 and a 25 window house at $180 to $220.
National figures run higher. A 2026 national cost guide lists 13 to 15 windows at $260 to $300. It puts 23 to 25 windows at $460 to $500. Another 2026 guide sets a typical residential job between $150 and $450. Texas rates read low against all of them.
What does window cleaning cost per pane and per window?
Cleaners quote glass two ways. Some price per window. Others price per pane, meaning each separate piece of glass inside the frame.
A standard double hung window holds two panes. So $4 per pane and $8 per window describe the same piece of glass.
| How the job is priced | 2026 national guides | San Antonio cost page |
|---|---|---|
| Per pane | $4 to $8 | $4 to $5 |
| Per standard window | $8 to $18 | $7 to $9 |
| Per hour, per cleaner | $40 to $75 | $22 to $35 |
Cost pages for Austin and Dallas list that same $7 to $9 per standard window. Bigger glass costs more. National guides put bay and picture windows at $15 to $25 each, and casement windows at $15 to $30.
Most companies hold a minimum too. One 2026 industry pricing guide puts the residential floor at $100 to $150 and up. Our window cleaning service quotes off the glass count and the reach, the same way the market does.
How much does it cost to get all your windows cleaned?
Whole home quotes follow window count more than square footage. Here is what a Dallas window cleaning company published as its 2026 residential rates.
| Home size | Exterior only | Inside and out |
|---|---|---|
| Up to 15 windows | $120 to $175 | $175 to $250 |
| 16 to 25 windows | $175 to $275 | $250 to $375 |
| 26 to 40 windows | $275 to $400 | $375 to $550 |
| Over 40 windows | $400 and up | $550 and up |
Adding the inside roughly doubles the job. A 2026 industry pricing guide puts both sides at 1.5 to 2 times the exterior only price. Interior work adds furniture moving and floor protection.
Exterior only is the common order here. Outside glass takes the sprinkler spray and the pollen. Inside glass mostly holds fingerprints and cooking film.
Why does a two story home cost more?
It comes down to reach. Ground floor glass comes off a pole or a short ladder. Second story glass needs a ladder set and safe footing at every window.
National 2026 guides add $3 to $5 per window above the ground floor. One pricing guide bills hard to reach glass at 10 to 30 percent more. Sloped ground and flower beds make the ladder set slower.
What add ons change the price?
The base rate buys clean glass. Screens, tracks, sills and heavy mineral spotting usually price as separate lines.
| Add on | Published 2026 range |
|---|---|
| Screens, each | $2 to $10 |
| Tracks and sills, per window | $2 to $6 |
| Hard water spot treatment, per window | $10 to $30 |
| Skylights, each | $10 to $35 |
| French door glass | $6 a half door, $12 a full door |
| Second story glass | $3 to $5 more per window |
| Hard to reach glass | 10 to 30 percent more |
| Paint or stucco scraping, per window | $5 to $15 |
| Post construction cleanup, per window | $15 to $25 |
Those figures come from 2026 national pricing guides. The post construction line comes from a 2026 Dallas cost guide.
French panes catch people out. One French door can hold ten or more small panes, and each one gets wiped by hand. Grid style windows across a front elevation do the same thing. Per pane pricing exists mostly for glass like that.
Hard water is the other line worth reading twice. Cleaners treat heavy spotting as restoration work rather than washing, so it prices on its own.
How often do San Antonio homes need window cleaning?
Twice a year is the usual recommendation. Local conditions push a lot of homes past that.
Start with the water. The San Antonio water utility puts local hardness at 15 to 20 grains per gallon. That mineral load comes out of the Edwards and Trinity Aquifers. Water quality scales rate anything above 10.5 grains as very hard. A sprinkler head aimed at glass sprays it on all summer.
Then the pollen. Mountain cedar runs from mid December into February and peaks in January. Oak takes over in March and holds through early May. Both leave a yellow film across the outside glass.
Dust closes it out. Caliche and limestone dust blows off dry ground and new construction. The I-35 and 281 corridors see plenty of both.
So a house with irrigation hitting the windows usually wants three or four cleanings a year. A shaded lot away from the spray can hold at two. Most people book the outside after cedar season ends, then again once oak finishes in May.
Should you clean your own windows?
Ground floor glass is a fair weekend job. A squeegee and a bucket handle most of it. Pick a cloudy morning, because sun dries the glass before you can pull the water off.
Second story glass is where people get hurt. A ladder set on turf or a flower bed shifts under load. Mineral spotting is the other stopping point, since it takes a treatment instead of soap.
How do you get a real number for your windows?
Every figure above comes from published cost guides and city cost pages. Read them as market benchmarks and not as our price list. Window count, pane style, story height and the state of the glass all move a real quote.
Booking the glass alongside a soft wash for your siding saves a trip, since the wash rinses the outside anyway. You can look at everything else we clean outside before you decide.
