window cleaning rip off?
wtf I just got a call from my wife that some guy charged her $130 to clean the two street-facing windows and the garden-facing kitchen windows, completely leaving out the garden level. I’m so frustrated that it’s ridiculous — am I wrong? Window cleaning isn’t exactly a skilled trade — right?

@ hubby: some are pricey, some are affordable. had to agree with guest_poster though. kidding 😀
@laurie: if ever you are looking in TN, try this window cleaning memphis at allseasonscarpet.net.
Sorry for the delay in responding (i wish there was a “notify me of new replies” button in this forum!).
The company we’ve used most often is Steven Windows Company. The owner is a russian guy. Their phone # is 212-595-6620. Haven’t been in touch with them yet this year, but probably will be hankering for clean windows again in May. We’ve always been happy with their work. There was one year 3-4 years ago that we used a company that we found at the Atlantic Antic. They did a great job and I recall them being based in Cobble Hill, but I managed to lose their card, can’t remember their name and they haven’t been back at the Antic since :(. Oh well!
BTW – if anyone has any other recommendations for quality, affordable residential window cleaners (working on getting our whole coop building done all at once since many other unit owners are interested), please do post the info.
second that – what’s the name of the company?
Laurie, Sounds like a deal! Would you mind sharing the company you use? Thanks!
$40 per window? We have our windows cleaned once a year, for the last 10 years (three large 3×8 windows, 2nd floor overlooking atlantic ave – with a deep ledge for them to stand on) and have never paid more than $15 per window, although one company we used did have a $50 minimum, which we were happy to pay.
$30 to do the windows, $100 to do the wife! lol…
Hubby ain’t taking care of biz, but da window washer iz.
The little lassie should have inquired about the price before she consented.
Window washing is pricey. The going rate last year for windows with storms and screens was close to $40 per window. This was for windows on high floors, where they had to climb out on the ledge to get the inner window clean.
$130 for window cleaning…. hold on a second… did you just buy 108 Berkeley?
