Window Cleaning With No Hidden Fees in Birmingham, MI

The Problem With Surprise Charges

You call a window cleaning company, get a quote that sounds reasonable, and schedule the job. Then the crew finishes, hands you an invoice, and the number is significantly higher than what you expected. Suddenly there are charges for "screen cleaning," "track wiping," "second-story surcharge," and a fuel fee that were never mentioned. You feel stuck — the work is done, the crew is standing there, and you either pay or create a confrontation.

We hear this story from new clients regularly. It's one of the most common complaints about home service companies across the board, and it's entirely avoidable. ClearView Exterior Services operates on a simple principle: the price you're quoted is the price you pay.

How ClearView's Upfront Pricing Works

Before any ClearView crew arrives at your home, you receive a clear, itemized quote that covers everything included in your service. We walk through your home's window count, configuration, and any specific needs during the quoting process — either in person or over the phone — so that the scope of work is fully defined before we ever schedule a date.

When the job is complete, the invoice matches the quote. That's it.

What's Included in Your Standard ClearView Quote

A standard ClearView window cleaning quote includes:

• Both panes of every window included in your service — interior, exterior, or both, depending on what you've selected
• Screen cleaning — we remove, clean, and reinstall your window screens as part of the standard service
• Basic track and sill wiping — we wipe down the window tracks and sills as we work through your home
• Multi-story access — our pricing accounts for the difficulty of your home's configuration. Second and third-story windows are assessed in the original quote, not added as a surprise at the end
• Cleanup — we leave your home the way we found it, without water puddled on sills or debris on the floor

Legitimate Add-Ons: What They Are and When They Apply

There are services that fall outside the scope of a standard window cleaning — and we want to be transparent about what those are and when they become relevant. These are never hidden in small print. If your home needs any of the following, we'll identify it during the quoting process and price it explicitly:

• Deep mineral deposit removal: Hard water staining that has etched or heavily bonded to glass requires a specialized treatment beyond standard cleaning. This is different from normal cleaning and takes additional time and materials. If your windows have this issue, we'll tell you during the quote — not after the job.
• Interior storm window cleaning: Older homes in Birmingham often have interior storm panels that are separate from the primary window. Cleaning these is a distinct service with a distinct price.
• Post-construction cleaning: Homes coming out of renovation or new construction often have paint overspray, silicone, adhesive labels, or debris bonded to the glass. This requires specialized tools and more time than standard cleaning. We quote this separately and only after assessing the actual condition of the glass.
• Chandelier or specialty glass cleaning: If you have decorative glass features or specialty installations that require non-standard handling, we'll discuss those specifically.

The key point: none of these appear on your invoice unless you agreed to them in advance.

How the Estimate Process Works

1. Contact us — Call (248) 252-8909 or reach out through our website. Tell us about your home: approximate number of windows, whether you want interior, exterior, or both, and any specific conditions we should know about.
2. Receive your quote — We provide a clear, line-item quote that covers everything we'll do. For larger or more complex homes, we may schedule a brief in-person assessment first.
3. Approve before we start — We don't begin work until you've agreed to the quote. There are no verbal estimates that balloon into something else on the day of service.
4. Pay what you were quoted — When the job is complete, the invoice reflects exactly what was agreed to. If anything changes during the job — for example, we discover storm panels that weren't visible in the initial assessment — we stop and discuss it with you before proceeding.
