Why Everyone Should Clean Their Windows Regularly - It Costs Thousands Eventually If You Don’t

Regular window cleaning can prevent costly window replacements

Imagine this: you wake up on a beautiful Nashville morning, sunlight beaming in... except it's not. Your view from your peaceful suburban neighborhood or vibrant downtown apartment is obscured by a film of grime, dust, dirt, who knows! You notice it, but you think to yourself “that’s a problem that can wait,” and you carry on with your day.

This cycle continues again and again…and again. Days turn into months, months turn into years. While dirty windows might seem like a purely aesthetic issue, neglecting regular cleaning can actually shorten their lifespan and lead to the need for replacement down the road.

Grime, dust, and debris act like an abrasive film that slowly wears down the window's surface. Weather elements like rain and UV rays can exploit these weaknesses, causing cracks, leaks, and diminished energy efficiency. All of these issues lead to the need to replace the window altogether as they become permanently discolored or structurally damaged.

Let’s break it down:

In 2024, the average cost to replace and install one window in America is between $450 and $1,400. With the average cost per window coming out to around $750.

The average home in the Nashville region has anywhere between 10-30 windows.

So, if you have a home with 20 windows, you can expect to pay around $15,000 to replace all of them.

Before you write this expense off in your head as something that you will have to do eventually, which may be true, let's explore a much better solution: professional window washing.

The average professional window cleaning service for a home with 20 windows costs anywhere from $150 to $300. It is recommended that you have your windows cleaned at least every 6 months, but you can probably get away with once a year.

This means that for a fraction of the cost to replace a single window, you can ensure all of your windows last longer and you can prolong the expense to replace your windows.

Then, if you consider the benefits of clean windows such as enhanced appearance, increased home value, general health benefits such as reduced respiratory hazards, increased natural light, potential energy savings, and more, it becomes clear just how valuable clean windows can be.

Don’t be the homeowner that puts off window cleaning until it’s too late! Simple, regular cleaning helps increase the lifespan of your windows and comes with countless benefits to you and your home.
