Plan window cleaning before listing photography, including glass, tracks, screens and typical Bay Area costs.
Key Takeaways
Clean glass improves natural light and how windows look in person and in listing photos. Plan the work before photography and showings, with access ready for the crew.
Why Windows Matter in Listing Photos
Clear glass reduces distracting dirt, streaks and water spots. Interior glass matters in rooms photographed toward the windows, while exterior glass matters in exterior views.
What to Clean Before Photos
- Interior and exterior window glass for a complete scope.
- Tracks as a separate detailing add-on.
- Sliding doors and other prominent glass, priced by estimate.
Screen cleaning is often included with a package or current offer; otherwise it can be an add-on.
How Much Does It Cost?
Interior and exterior window cleaning typically ran $350–$525 on recent Bay Area jobs; exterior-only ran $225–$360. Track detailing is $30–$60. Final price comes from an estimate.
