Most window cleaners stop at the glass. They do a quick pass, call it done, and leave the grimy frames, oxidized sills, and top-sill edges exactly as they found them. The result looks fine from across the street but falls apart up close: oxidation still coating the frames, cobwebs still anchored to the corners, and soapy residue sitting on the surface waiting to attract the next layer of dust. At Silvertip Wash Co., we call this service window detailing because that is exactly what it is — a full restoration of the window area, not a surface-level clean that starts fading the moment you step back inside.
Calgary homeowners, builders, and commercial clients hire us because they want every component addressed, not just the parts that are easiest to reach. Our process covers the full window assembly from top to bottom: glass, frames, sills, and the tops of the sills, where hidden buildup collects and routinely gets missed by rushed cleanings. We use a soft natural hairbrush to scrub each area thoroughly, lifting dirt, cobwebs, and oxidation without scratching frames or damaging older materials. No soap or chemicals are used in our standard exterior process, which means no residue is left behind to dull the surface or give dust something to cling to.
That track record with demanding clients is part of what sets us apart. Silvertip Wash Co. serves as the exterior cleaning contractor for Cardel Homes, one of Calgary’s established home builders, and handles window cleaning for apartment complexes and commercial properties across the area. Builder and commercial accounts hold every job to a tighter standard — schedules are tighter, expectations are higher, and there is no room for a clean that only looks good from a distance. The same process and the same standard apply to every residential job we take on.
Pricing is per window pane, per side, with three service tiers:
| Service | Price Range |
|---|---|
| Exterior Window Cleaning | $8–$12 per pane* |
| Interior Window Cleaning | $8–$12 per pane* |
| Interior + Exterior Window Cleaning | Starting at $12 per window* |
*Pricing varies based on home size, window accessibility, number of panes, and complexity. Contact us for a free, customized quote.
Final totals shift based on several factors:
Most stand-alone jobs wrap up in about 45 minutes to two hours depending on the home.
Booking window cleaning with other services earns a real discount on the same visit:
Quarterly maintenance is what we push for most clients because it lines up with how long the results typically hold — about 2–3 months, with around 3 months as a solid benchmark.
For commercial clients, per-window rates shift with volume:
We clean the full window area every time, not just the visible glass. Frames, sills, and upper sill edges collect just as much grime as the pane itself, and those are the areas that get skipped when speed takes priority over doing the job completely.

When an inquiry comes in through our website, we respond quickly, ask follow-up questions to understand the property, and set up an in-person visit to walk the windows and give an accurate quote. Jobber handles day-before reminders and automations once a date is confirmed. For commercial accounts, detailed communication starts a month or two weeks ahead, with all requirements documented in Jobber notes.
Before cleaning begins, we walk the property, confirm scope, and flag any access concerns. For interior work, we ask the customer to move items away from windows where possible and offer help where it makes sense. Ladders are set carefully with extra cloths at contact points to protect walls. On commercial sites, we coordinate with the owner or manager on traffic flow and complete higher-traffic areas first.
We clean the window glass, frames, sills, and tops of the sills in full. A soft natural hairbrush scrubs the entire area, lifting dirt, cobwebs, oxidation, and grime from the window structure without scratching painted frames or older materials. Ultra-purified water is used for standard exterior cleaning with no residue left behind.
When harder water staining is present, we apply a specialized soap to lift the deposit, rinse it away, and then finish with a reverse osmosis purified water rinse. The goal is a crystal clear, streak-free, spot-free result. The combination of targeted stain treatment, ultra-purified rinse, and rain guard benefit is what produces longer-lasting results. Interior cleaning follows a separate hands-on process suited to indoor glass and surfaces.
When the job is done, we offer a full walkthrough and address anything the customer points out before leaving. We leave a coupon and referral cards, send the invoice promptly, and call again four to five days later to confirm satisfaction after the customer has had time to see the result in real conditions.
Every job is backed by a 100% satisfaction guarantee and over $2 million in insurance coverage. Here is what that looks like in practice:
.
Yes. We offer interior window cleaning as a standalone service or as part of a full inside-and-out window cleaning visit. Interior service is $6 per pane per side, and full interior plus exterior cleaning is about $12 per window.
Yes. Screen cleaning is available as part of our overall window care service.
We use ultra-purified reverse osmosis water and a more detailed top-to-bottom cleaning process instead of a quick traditional clean. That helps your windows stay cleaner longer and avoids the soap residue that can make dust cling faster.
For standard window cleaning, yes. Our normal process uses ultra-purified water with no soap residue left behind, and the runoff is essentially just water rather than a heavy chemical mix.
Hard water stains are treated differently than a standard pure-water clean. When those stains are present, we use a specialized soap to help lift them before finishing with a purified reverse osmosis rinse.
Results usually last about 2 to 3 months, with around 3 months being a strong benchmark. That is one reason we often recommend quarterly window cleaning for customers who want consistently clean glass year-round.
Yes. High and hard-to-reach windows are handled with a water-fed telescopic pole system and are cleaned from the ground where possible. This allows us to reach difficult glass in a safer, more controlled way.
We take extra care with older and more delicate windows, especially wood-framed units. The main concern is avoiding too much water being pushed into the frames, so the method is adjusted based on the material and condition.
We treat every home like it is our own. That includes careful ladder setup, using extra cloths to help protect walls, and being mindful not to bump into or damage anything while working inside.
We go over any access limitations honestly during the quote or service visit. If a tree or obstruction affects what can be safely reached, we discuss it directly instead of overpromising.
Yes, after-hours service can be accommodated when needed to help minimize disruption for businesses. We also communicate with owners or managers about traffic flow and busy times when planning the work.
We coordinate with the owner or manager, work around busy times, and try to complete higher-traffic areas first. We also keep ladders secure and avoid creating cords or trip hazards in active areas.
Yes. The company carries over $2 million in insurance coverage and also backs its work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
We back our work with a 100% satisfaction guarantee. We can do a walkthrough at the end of the job and then follow up again 4 to 5 days later to make sure you are still happy with the result.
Not at this time. This situation has only come up once in the last five years, and we do not currently carry the equipment to bring water on site.
Yes. Guidance can be provided if you want help keeping your windows looking good between professional visits. This also supports the recommendation for seasonal or quarterly maintenance.
