San Diego · Cost guide
How much does window cleaning cost in San Diego?
Window cleaning in San Diego is priced per job rather than at a flat rate, because the cost depends on how many windows you have, how many stories, whether you want interior and exterior, and how dirty they are. That is why reputable companies — Buxton included — give a free quote instead of a one-size number. Text your address to 619-716-6684 and we will give you a straight price.

What affects the cost
Six things that move the price
There is no flat rate, but the cost is not a mystery either. These are the things that decide what window cleaning costs on your property.
Number of windows
The single biggest driver. More glass means more labor, and it is the panes that get counted, not just the openings.
Stories and height
Second-story and hard-to-reach glass is done with a water-fed pole or ladder work, which takes more time than ground-floor windows.
Interior and exterior, or exterior only
Cleaning both sides is more work than the outside alone. Tell us which you want so the quote matches the job.
How dirty the glass is
Windows that have not been touched in years — with baked-on hard water spots or construction film — take more passes than lightly maintained glass.
Screens, tracks and sills
Wiping down screens, tracks and sills is part of a thorough clean, and neglected ones simply take a little longer.
One-time or recurring
A recurring visit keeps the glass from ever getting bad, so each clean is faster — and on a plan it costs less per visit than a one-time deep clean.
No mystery pricing
Why we quote each job
There is no honest flat rate for window cleaning, because a small condo and a two-story house with thirty windows are not the same job. Anyone quoting a single price sight-unseen is guessing.
We quote each job by hand: tell us the building, roughly how many windows, whether you want inside and out, and your address. You get a real number before we start — no surprises and no upsell.
How to get the best value
Pay less for cleaner glass
Get on a recurring schedule
On a plan, each visit costs less than a one-time clean, and the glass never reaches a deep-clean state — so it stays clear year-round for less.
Bundle services on one visit
Adding gutters, solar panels or pressure washing to the same trip is more efficient than booking each separately, and we can quote it all together.
Don't wait years between cleans
The longer glass goes untouched, the more baked-on hard water and film builds up, and the more work it takes to reset — maintaining it is cheaper than rescuing it.
What our neighbors are saying
These are copied word for word, including the ones from customers whose windows had not been touched in years.
“I recently used Buxton Window Cleaning to do all of my solar panels and windows and they did such a good job I highly recommend they're services they were so easy to work with and it helped they were licensed and insured they even provided photos of they're work”
“I recently had Buxton Window Cleaning clean the store that I work at. I don't even recognize this place anymore 🤠 We can finally see out of the windows! They were extra dirty after not being cleaned for a long time! (Years!) And now they're spotless, without the frames I'd be running into them! Thanks so much to Greyson and Thane for doing such a great job. Sharp young men. 10/10”
“I recently used Buxton Window Cleaning and all I could say is wow my windows look brand new they haven't been cleaned in 5 years and they look amazing I highly recommend them to anybody who needs it!”
Cost questions
Window cleaning pricing
If yours is not here, call or text 619-716-6684 and ask.
Do you charge by the window or by the hour?
We quote the whole job, not per window or per hour. Tell us the building and what you want cleaned and we will give you one straight number.
Is a quote free?
Yes, always. Quotes are free by call, text or the form. Text your address to 619-716-6684 and we will price it.
Does cleaning the inside cost more than just the outside?
Cleaning interior and exterior is more work than exterior only, so it factors into the quote. Let us know which you want when you book.
Is window cleaning cheaper on a recurring schedule?
Yes. On a recurring plan each visit costs less than a one-time clean, because the glass stays maintained and every visit is faster. Ask about a schedule that fits your home or business.
Why don't you list prices on the site?
Because an honest price depends on your specific windows. A flat rate would either overcharge small jobs or shortchange big ones. We quote each job so the number is real.
Does this apply across San Diego?
Yes. We quote jobs from our El Cajon base out to the coast the same way — by the specifics of the property. Text your address and we will confirm we cover you.
