You’ll get a lot more information on the WCR forum. This one is more Power Washing specific.

jackson10, when you get a chance go to www.aqualitywindowcleaning.ca
click on my prices page, this has worked extremely well for me showing
clients how I count windows to give them price I will charge them.Lots of
work and fine tuning went in to getting this to where it is. Good Luck!

So do you charge by the number of window plains ?
Thank you

@jackson10: if you were addressing me, yes I do charge
by the pane.Set a per pane price, leave the same for all
size, it all evens out in the end.I compare to how long it
should take me to do it times my hourly rate and compare
to charge by per pane pricing. If done correctly, the numbers
should be very close! Never tell a customer what you charge
by the hour for window cleaning! Hope this helps.

I went to the Weekend Window Cleaning School in California and learned Hands-on training. Visit www.windowcleaningtraining.com

This is a 4 year old thread.

But welcome anyway…and I’m primarily a window cleaner.
