How Much Does Window Cleaning Cost for a Repentigny Home?

For most Repentigny houses, an exterior window clean with Altara costs $179 to $409 before taxes, depending on how many windows the home has. A bungalow with 6 to 10 windows falls in the $249 tier, a typical two-storey family home with 11 to 15 windows is $329, and homes with more than 20 windows get a custom quote. Interior glass, screen washing and track cleaning are optional add-ons on top of that flat rate.

That's the short version. The rest of this guide explains how the tiers work, what is and isn't part of the price, and how to keep the yearly cost down without cutting corners.

Altara's published rates, tier by tier

Altara prices residential window cleaning by window count, not by the hour. You count your windows, pick the matching tier on the pricing page and book. These are the current flat rates for exterior cleaning of standard residential windows in Greater Montréal:

• Pied-à-terre or small condo, 1 to 5 windows: $179
• Compact home, 6 to 10 windows: $249
• Standard home, 11 to 15 windows: $329
• Full home, 16 to 20 windows: $409
• Larger home or estate, 20+ windows: custom quote

All prices are in Canadian dollars, taxes not included. A window here means one opening in the wall, so a double-hung window or a slider counts once, not once per sash. A patio door counts as a window. If you're right on the line between two tiers, pick the higher one or send a quick note through the contact form and the team will confirm.

What the flat rate covers

The tier price is for the outside of the house. On a standard visit the crew cleans:

• Exterior glass on every window in your tier
• Frames and sills, which hold most of the grit that ends up streaking the glass
• Screens, rinsed in place while the glass is being washed

The work is done with a water-fed pole and pure deionized water. Because the water has no dissolved minerals, it dries without spots, and no soap is left on the glass to attract dust. The pole reaches up to three storeys from the ground, which covers nearly every house in Repentigny, from the bungalows and split-levels near Boulevard Iberville to the newer two-storey homes in the Le Gardeur sector. Nobody has to lean a ladder against your siding or walk on the roof.

What costs extra

A few things are not part of the flat rate, and it helps to know them before you compare quotes:

• Interior glass. Cleaning the inside of the windows is a paid add-on. Many homeowners add it in spring and skip it in fall, or the other way around.
• Screen removal and washing. The in-place rinse handles normal dust. If your screens are caked with pollen or cobwebs, removing and washing them is an add-on. Altara doesn't repair screens, but the crew will point out any tears so you can have them fixed.
• Track cleaning. Vacuuming and wiping the tracks is an add-on done with the interior clean.
• Quoted separately: skylights, solariums, heavy mineral stains from well water or sprinklers, and post-construction cleanup (paint, stucco or silicone on the glass).

Homes near the St. Lawrence or the Rivière L'Assomption sometimes have lawn sprinklers that hit the lower windows all summer. Light spotting usually comes off in a normal clean. Hard, white mineral rings that have built up for years need more time and different products, which is why they're priced on their own after the crew sees them.

How recurring service brings the price down

The only discounts Altara offers are for recurring service, and they're simple:

• Quarterly: 10% off each visit
• Bi-monthly: 15% off each visit
• Monthly: 20% off each visit

Take a standard home in the $329 tier. On a quarterly schedule each visit drops to about $296 before taxes. On a monthly schedule it drops to about $263. Exterior work runs roughly from March to November, so a recurring exterior plan follows that season, while interior cleaning can carry on year-round.

Spring and fall (bi-annual) and once-a-year programs don't come with a discount. What you get instead is an automated reminder when it's time to book, so the clean doesn't slip by a month or two. For a lot of Repentigny families, two visits a year is enough: one in spring for winter salt film and pollen, one in fall to clear summer dust before the dark months.

Comparing quotes from other companies

Prices across Greater Montréal vary a lot, mostly because companies define the job differently. When you line up quotes, check a few things:

• Inside, outside or both. A low number that covers only the exterior isn't comparable to one that includes interior glass, and vice versa.
• Hourly or flat. An hourly rate can look cheaper until the crew runs long on a windy day.
• Screens and tracks. Ask whether they're rinsed, removed and washed, or ignored.
• What happens if there's a streak. Altara's rule: report a streak within 24 hours and the crew comes back to fix it at no charge.
• Taxes. Check whether the number you were given includes GST and QST, so you're comparing the same thing.

Timing your last exterior clean of the year

Late October and early November are the tail end of the exterior season in Repentigny. Once overnight frost stays on the glass into the afternoon, water-based exterior cleaning stops until spring. If your windows still carry summer dust and pollen, book soon so the clean happens on a mild day. Interior cleaning isn't affected by the cold and can be booked any time of year.

Frequently asked questions

How much does it cost to clean the windows of a two-storey house in Repentigny?

Most two-storey homes have 11 to 20 windows, which puts them in the $329 or $409 exterior tier before taxes. The price depends on window count, not on the number of floors, as long as the house is within three storeys of the ground. Interior glass is an extra add-on.

Is interior window cleaning included in the price?

No. The flat rate covers exterior glass, frames and sills, with screens rinsed in place. Interior glass, screen removal and washing, and track cleaning are optional add-ons you can choose when you book.

Does Altara offer a discount for spring and fall cleaning?

No. Bi-annual and annual programs include automated reminders but no discount. Discounts apply only to quarterly (10%), bi-monthly (15%) and monthly (20%) service.

Do you need to visit the house before giving a price?

Not for a typical home. You pick the tier that matches your window count and book online. A site visit is only needed for homes over three storeys, hard-to-reach glass, or jobs that are quoted separately like skylights and solariums.
