Boucherville Window Cleaning Prices for Houses in 2026
Exterior window cleaning for a Boucherville house costs $179 to $409 before taxes with Altara, depending on how many windows the house has. Most split-levels and bungalows from the 1960s and 1970s fall in the $249 or $329 tier, and a larger two-storey home usually lands at $409. Homes with more than 20 windows get a custom quote, and interior glass, screen washing and track cleaning are paid add-ons on top.
The rest of this page explains how the tiers work, what is included, and the local details that push a Boucherville quote up or down.
Price tiers by window count
Altara does not charge by the hour. You count your windows, pick the matching tier on the pricing page and book a date. Current exterior rates for standard residential windows:
- 1 to 5 windows, pied-à-terre or small condo: $179
- 6 to 10 windows, compact home: $249
- 11 to 15 windows, standard home: $329
- 16 to 20 windows, full home: $409
- More than 20 windows, larger home or estate: custom quote
All amounts are in Canadian dollars, before GST and QST. A window means one opening in the wall, however many panes it has. A double-hung counts as one, so does a three-panel slider, and a patio door counts as one window too. If you are unsure which tier your count falls in, send it through the contact form and the team confirms before you pay.
Typical Boucherville houses and where they land
Boucherville's housing stock is mixed, and the window count follows the age of the street more than the size of the lot.
- Vieux-Boucherville. The heritage houses near the church and along the old streets toward the river tend to have many small, divided windows, dormers and storm windows. Each opening counts once, so these homes are often in the 11 to 15 range even when they look compact.
- Split-levels and bungalows. The neighbourhoods built out in the 1960s and 1970s are full of split-levels with a picture window in front, a few bedroom windows and a slider to the yard. Most count 9 to 14 windows.
- Newer two-storey homes. Houses from the 1990s onward usually have more glass: tall windows in the stairwell, transoms over the entry, a bay in the kitchen and wide doors to the patio. Many of them reach 16 to 20 once the back and the sides are counted.
- Townhouses and condos. Ground-level and low-rise units with their own exterior access often fit the $179 or $249 tier.
Walk around the whole house before you choose. The back usually has more glass than the street side.
What the flat rate pays for
The tier price covers the outside of the house:
- exterior glass on every window in your count,
- frames and sills, scrubbed with the same brush,
- screens rinsed in place while the glass is washed.
The crew works from the ground with a water-fed pole and pure deionized water. Because the water has no minerals in it, it dries without spots, and no soap is left on the glass to catch dust. The pole reaches up to three storeys, which covers nearly every house in Boucherville. A home with a wall taller than that, or glass the crew cannot reach safely from the ground, gets a site visit before a price is set.
Extras that are billed separately
Some work sits outside the tier price. It is worth knowing which, because it is where quotes from different companies stop lining up:
- Interior glass is an optional paid add-on, cleaned by hand. Unlike exterior work, it can be booked in any month.
- Screen removal and washing is an add-on for screens that need more than the rinse. Altara does not repair screens, but if one is torn the crew points it out so you can have it fixed.
- Track cleaning for sliding windows and patio doors is also an add-on.
- Quoted separately: skylights, solariums, heavy mineral stains and post-construction cleanup.
Post-construction cleanup comes up a lot in Boucherville, where many older houses are being renovated or expanded. New windows often arrive with paint overspray, caulking smears, stucco dust and manufacturer stickers. That takes different tools and more time than a normal clean, so the crew looks at the glass first and quotes it.
Local factors that affect how often you pay
The price of one visit does not change with the neighbourhood, but how quickly the glass gets dirty again does, and that decides how many visits a year make sense.
Houses close to Highway 20 or Route 132 pick up a grey road film, and in winter the salt spray from those roads settles on street-facing windows. Homes near the river, along Marie-Victorin or facing the Îles-de-Boucherville, see more wind, insects in early summer and gulls. Mature trees in the older sectors drop pollen and seeds onto the glass every spring. A house with none of these can do well on two cleanings a year. One with two or three of them usually looks better on a quarterly plan.
Recurring plans and the discount
Altara gives discounts only for recurring schedules:
- Quarterly: 10% off each visit
- Bi-monthly: 15% off each visit
- Monthly: 20% off each visit
On the $329 tier, that brings a quarterly visit to about $296 before taxes and a monthly visit to about $263. Since exterior cleaning runs about March to November, a quarterly plan usually works out to three exterior visits in spring, summer and fall. Bi-annual and annual programs have no discount but include an automated reminder when the next visit is due, so the spring and fall cleans happen on time.
Every visit has the streak-free guarantee: report a streak within 24 hours and the crew comes back at no charge. Altara has cleaned windows at more than 7,800 homes across Greater Montréal.
Late-season timing
At the end of October, the exterior season is close to done. Once nights stay below freezing and frost sits on the glass into the afternoon, water-fed exterior cleaning stops until spring. If the summer's dust and pollen are still on your windows, book the fall clean soon so it lands on a mild day. Interior glass can be scheduled through the winter.
Frequently asked questions
How much does it cost to clean the windows of a split-level in Boucherville?
Most split-levels in Boucherville have 9 to 14 windows, which puts them in the $249 or $329 exterior tier before taxes. Count every opening, including the basement windows and the patio door, and choose the tier that matches. If you want the inside done too, add interior glass as a paid add-on.
Are taxes included in the window cleaning price?
No. The tier prices are before GST and QST, which are added at checkout. Recurring discounts are taken off the tier price before taxes.
Do heritage windows with small panes cost more?
The tier is set by the number of openings, not the number of panes, so a divided-light window counts as one. Storm windows are cleaned on their outside face as part of the standard visit. If the glass between a storm window and the main window needs cleaning, mention it when you book so the crew can confirm the scope.
Is there a discount for booking spring and fall?
The bi-annual program has no discount, but it sends an automated reminder before each visit. Discounts start at quarterly service, which is 10% off each visit.
