COCHRANEWindow Washing Guide

A FOOTHILLS HOME GUIDE RESOURCE

Inside and outside are separate parts of the cleaning scope.

A clear proposal identifies which glass surfaces and rooms are included.

List the sides and the exceptions

State whether you want exterior glass, interior glass or both. Mention patio doors, basement windows, glass above stairs or other areas that may need a separate assessment. Ask how the provider counts panes, assemblies and divided sections so different quotes can be compared fairly.

Identify excluded rooms or windows and tell the provider about known films, coatings or decorative glass. Do not assume one cleaning approach suits every surface.

Agree on indoor preparation

Ask what access is needed around furniture, blinds and window coverings, and who is responsible for moving or protecting items. Explain relevant household constraints without sharing door codes in an enquiry. Confirm arrangements for pets, occupants and any spaces that should remain closed.

Ask whether nearby sills and frames are included or only the glass. Review the separate screen and track checklist before accepting a package description.

Define the completion check

Discuss how the provider checks the agreed surfaces and how you should raise a concern after the visit. Ask about limitations involving inaccessible areas, existing scratches or marks that need specialist assessment. A routine clean should not be represented as a repair to the window itself.

Use the scope planner to keep your inclusions together, then compare written terms.
