The Real Cost of DIY vs. Professional Window Cleaning

The Hidden Costs of DIY
1. Equipment & Supplies:
A basic squeegee and soap won’t deliver professional results. To get windows truly spotless (and avoid streaks), you’ll need specialized cleaners, extension poles, filtered water systems, and quality towels. The cost of buying or renting this equipment often surprises homeowners.
2. Time & Effort:
Window cleaning is more time-consuming than most people expect—especially for two-story homes or properties with lots of glass. By the time you’ve set up, scrubbed, dried, and double-checked each window, you could have spent your weekend elsewhere.
3. Safety Risks:
Cleaning upper-floor windows means working on ladders or awkward angles. Falls and injuries are more common than you think, and a trip to the ER can cost far more than a professional cleaning.
4. Quality & Longevity:
DIY jobs often leave behind streaks, spots, or missed corners. Hard water stains and mineral deposits can actually get worse if not treated correctly, leading to permanent damage and costly window replacements down the road.
