The short answer
Professional window cleaning in Charlotte is priced per property. The main drivers are the number of window openings, how many storeys the home has, whether interior glass is included, and add-ons like screens and tracks. Divided-light (French) panes and hard-to-reach windows add labour. Because those factors vary so much house to house, Aloe gives a property-specific estimate rather than publishing one flat rate.
What a window cleaner is actually pricing
The cost of a window clean is mostly labour and access. A cleaner is estimating how long it will take to safely reach every pane, dress the frame and sill, and leave the glass streak-free — then how much of that work is at ground level versus off a pole or ladder.
That's why two homes with the same square footage can price very differently. A single-storey ranch with twelve large picture windows is quick. A two-storey home with thirty divided-light windows, fixed screens, and landscaping under every sill is not.
The factors that move the number
Number of window openings — the single biggest driver. Count openings, not panes.
Storeys and access — upper-floor glass reached from the ground with a water-fed pole is efficient; glass that needs a ladder over a deck or garden bed is slower.
Interior included or exterior only — interior work adds room prep, moving obstacles, and protecting floors.
Screens and tracks — removing, washing, drying and re-seating screens is a separate task, as is detailing sill tracks by hand.
Glass type — divided lights, leaded glass, and greenhouse or sunroom glazing take longer per opening.
Condition — construction debris, hard-water spotting, paint, or years of neglect can require extra passes.
Frequency — a home on a maintenance rhythm is faster to service than a one-off after two years.
Why Aloe quotes per property
A published flat rate protects the company, not the customer: it has to be padded to cover the worst-case home. Pricing each property means the quiet single-storey home isn't subsidising the complicated one.
The quickest way to a real number is the quote form or the pricing estimator — a rough window count and a few details about the home are enough to come back with a specific range.
