How Neighborhood Purchasing Works
Homeowners in certain neighborhoods can save big with neighborhood purchasing discounts through Thumbtack. Neighborhood purchasing works by bundling multiple customers’ bookings within a neighborhood on a certain day. Neighborhoods are defined by ZIP code, meaning others who book select services within your ZIP code can take part in your neighborhood bundle.
This bundling process allows hired professionals to get to more homes and complete more jobs in a shorter amount of time. By combining multiple local bookings into one day, professionals can spend less time and money commuting, and more time completing jobs — and those savings are passed down to you, the customer, in the form of a 25-percent discount.
Here’s how to save on exterior window cleaning using Thumbtack’s neighborhood purchasing:
- Sign up here for exterior window cleaning services.
- Hire a professional to come to your home on a day when they will also service other homes in the area. This will save them time and money by reducing commute time.
- Get those savings passed right back to you with a 25 percent discount on your window cleaning services.
- Note that while this deal cannot be combined with other offers, you’ll be pressed to find one as good as this!

What Does Professional Window Cleaning Cost?
There are many factors that go into the price a customer pays for these services, including your location, the type of windows you have (for example, homeowners with double-hung windows with two sashes will incur more costs than those with single-hung windows with no sashes), how many windows you have, accessibility and whether or not you opt for any additional services, such as removing hard water stains, dead bugs, pollen and dust from tracks.
Professional window cleaners can generally be hired for around $200-$250*, with the national average cost for window cleaning services around $225. Homeowners may see rates as low as $92, and as high as $600, depending on the scope of the job.
Some professionals choose to charge a flat rate per window (for example, some places charge $3 per window for exterior cleaning and $1 per window for interior cleaning) and will typically give homeowners an estimate for free. Others will charge by the hour; the national average hourly rate is $50, with the average rate ranging between $50 and $75 per hour. On the low end, you may see rates as low as $21 per hour.
Your best bet? Sign up for neighborhood purchasing through Thumbtack. You’ll save 25 percent on exterior window cleaning by booking services on the same day as your neighbors, meaning you could find hourly rates as low as $18.75, depending on your needs.
Why Hiring A Pro Is The Way To Go
Particularly for those who live in homes with multiple floors, window cleaning is a task that should always be left to the professionals. Window cleaning has the potential to be dangerous and should only be done by those who are trained and know how to take the proper safety precautions. Otherwise, homeowners could wind up harming themselves by climbing to dangerous heights and slipping or falling off their homes.
There’s also more to window cleaning than just cleaning the glass, and a pro can help you with every aspect of this home maintenance task. Along with scrubbing the interior and exterior of the window, professional window cleaning can also focus on cleaning window screens, tracks, and shutters. They can safely and effectively get those hard-to-reach places in your home that you may not even notice, such as skylights, attic windows, and ceiling-height accent windows. Even more, they can catch signs of serious issues such as wood rot, cracks or dings in the glass and early signs of a termite or pest infestation.
Cleaning your windows professionally can extend the life of your window glass and improve your home’s appearance. Using the wrong products and incorrect cleaning methods won’t just keep your home from looking its best — it can also damage glass and shorten the lifespan of your windows, requiring a replacement. When your windows are in need of a cleaning, turn to Thumbtack to find a pro to get the job done right.
