Glass
Commercial window cleaning
Storefront, office, restaurant and hospitality glass on a fixed route, billed monthly.
- From
- $0.95 per pane per visit on route, sample
- Typical time
- Storefront routes 20 to 45 minutes
Overview
What this actually involves
Commercial glass is a route business, not a project business. A storefront on Front Street that gets weekly attention takes twenty minutes and never looks neglected. The same storefront on a quarterly schedule takes ninety minutes, needs mineral work on the lower third, and still shows traffic film by week three.
We run commercial routes before 9 am or after close so we are not working through your customers. Every account gets a written scope with pane counts per elevation, a named route day, and a certificate of insurance sent directly to your property manager or landlord.
Scope
What is included
- Exterior storefront glass, entry doors, sidelights and transoms
- Interior vestibule glass and door push plates
- Frame and threshold wipe on every visit
- Awning and sign face spot-clean where reachable from the ground
- Monthly route sheet with pane counts and visit dates
- Certificate of insurance filed with the property manager
Method
How the visit runs
Order matters. Most damage in this trade comes from doing the right steps in the wrong sequence.
Scope and count
Every elevation is measured and counted. Doors, sidelights and transoms are listed separately because they take different time.
Set the route day
Weekly, fortnightly, four-weekly or quarterly. Route days stay fixed so your staff know when to expect us.
Clean outside trading hours
Most routes run 6:00 am to 8:30 am. Restaurant accounts are usually done between lunch and dinner service.
Report exceptions
Etched glass, failed film, vandalism and chewing gum are photographed and quoted, never silently absorbed.
Why it is worth it
What you get out of it
Route stability
Same day, same crew, same start time. Restaurants in particular need that predictability.
Property manager friendly
Insurance, W-9 and scope documents are ready to send the day you ask.
Pricing factors
What moves the price
Every figure on this site is a sample. A real number follows a count on site.
| Factor | Effect |
|---|---|
| Frequency | Weekly routes carry the lowest per-pane rate. Quarterly carries the highest because each visit is harder. |
| Elevation count | A corner unit with two street-facing elevations is priced differently to an inline unit. |
| Height | Anything above the second storey moves to the high-access scope. |
| Traffic type | Restaurants, gyms and pet-friendly retail put more film on the lower third of the glass. |
