Is this included with window cleaning?

A basic sill wipe is included with every window cleaning. Deep track cleaning — brushing out compacted debris, vacuuming, and lubricating — is a separate add-on because it adds 2–3 minutes per window.

Do I really need this?

If your windows are sticking, grinding, or you can see visible dirt packed in the tracks, yes. If your tracks look clean, you can skip it. We'll tell you honestly during the quote walkthrough.

Can you fix windows that aren't sliding properly?

We can clean and lubricate, which solves the problem in most cases. If the hardware, rollers, or weatherstripping is physically damaged, that's a repair job — we'll refer you to a window service company.

Why it matters

Why professional window track & sill cleaning matters

Window tracks are the most neglected part of any home's window system. They sit recessed below the sightline, collecting dirt, pollen, dead insects, and moisture season after season. In the Sea-to-Sky's humid climate, this creates a perfect environment for mold growth — right inside your window frame. Beyond the health concern, packed tracks create friction that makes windows hard to open and close, wears out rollers and weatherstripping prematurely, and can even break hardware if forced. A professional track cleaning once or twice a year keeps everything operating smoothly and extends the life of your windows.

Add-on or standalone

Pricing

What to expect

Window track cleaning is most efficient as an add-on to window cleaning, priced at $3–$5 per window depending on condition. For a home with 15–25 windows, expect $60–$125 added to your cleaning quote. We also offer standalone track cleaning for $150+ depending on the number of windows and their condition.
