What a window cleaning service agreement is for
Storefronts need glass cleaned every week or two, and many homeowners want spring and fall cleans without calling each time. A service agreement locks in the route and the price, and sets rain-day and access rules. It turns one-time jobs into steady monthly income. It also lets you plan crews weeks ahead instead of day by day.
What to put on a window cleaning service agreement
- Frequency and visit dates or season.
- Windows covered and sides.
- Rain-day and access rules.
- Price per visit and billing.
- Renewal and cancellation.
A worked example
A homeowner wants spring and fall cleans every year. The window and screen lines use the calculator's typical prices.
| Line | Qty | Unit | Price | Amount |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Window cleaning, inside and out, two visits * | 40 | each | $12.00 | $480.00 |
| Screen cleaning, two visits * | 40 | each | $3.12 | $124.80 |
| Total before tax | $604.80 |
The quantities cover both visits. This is a template, not legal advice; check your state's rules on automatic renewal before you rely on it.
