Bigger jobs require more time, labor, and materials. Cleaning large homes or many windows costs more because more water, solution, and effort are needed.
Hard-to-reach areas and complex designs increase costs. Upper windows, tricky gutters, or jobs needing lifts, scaffolding, or safety gear cost more due to added time and effort.
Heavier buildup means more work. Tough stains, algae, or years of grime need extra passes or stronger treatments, raising labor and material costs—especially for first-time cleanings.
Choosing full-service packages or add-ons raises cost. Cleaning interiors, screens, and frames, or bundling house, driveway, and deck washing, adds time and labor compared to basic services.
Rush or off-hour requests can cost more. Next-day service, weekends, holidays, or emergency clean-ups may include surcharges for overtime or schedule changes.
Location affects pricing. Big cities often cost more due to fuel, traffic, and permits. In our Ohio/Indiana areas, rates stay moderate, though travel or urban access can raise costs slightly.
Smaller, simpler projects cost less. A one-story home or short driveway takes less time and labor than a large property. Pricing scales with job size, so smaller jobs are more affordable.
Efficient jobs cost less. Easy access, ground-level work, and open areas let our team clean faster. Simple, unobstructed surfaces are cheaper than tight, labor-intensive spaces.
Routine customers save more. Regular cleanings prevent heavy buildup, making each visit faster and cheaper. We also offer loyalty discounts for ongoing maintenance schedules.
Timing matters. Peak demand hits in spring and summer, but scheduling in late fall or winter can mean better rates. Off-season specials help you save while keeping our crews busy.
Bundle services to save. Scheduling window cleaning, pressure washing, and gutter clearing together is more efficient, cutting setup time and earning you a package discount.
Well-kept surfaces cost less. Light buildup or minor debris needs less time and treatment, while neglected areas or heavy stains require more work and raise the price.
ChatGPT said: Licensed, insured pros cost more but offer peace of mind. Their training, safety coverage, and background checks add expense—but protect you from liability and ensure professional results.
Professional-grade tools and products raise quality—and cost. Premium equipment and cleaning agents deliver better, safer results, reflecting the value of expert service and long-term protection.
Higher prices often reflect skilled, fairly paid workers. Experienced crews deliver better, safer, and more consistent results—quality that comes from investing in professional, reliable staff.
Premium providers charge more for meticulous care. Extra time spent on detailed work—like hand-drying windows or double-cleaning stains—adds labor cost but delivers top-tier, white-glove results.
High-demand companies often charge more for their reputation and guarantees. Their loyal clientele, waitlists, and satisfaction promises add value—and assurance you’ll get a flawless result.
Big companies with high overhead—trucks, offices, ads, or franchise fees—often charge more to cover costs. Local businesses run leaner, offering similar quality at lower rates.
Extremely cheap services often lack insurance or licenses. If damage or injury occurs, you could be liable. Low prices can mean high risk—always choose properly insured professionals.
Cheap services often cut corners—using low-quality products, rushing jobs, or skipping details like screens and frames. The result looks fine briefly but lacks true, lasting cleanliness.
Cheap providers rarely offer warranties or follow-ups. If issues arise, they’re often unreachable. Reputable companies price in service guarantees, ensuring accountability and customer satisfaction.
Ultra-low prices often mean underpaid, poorly trained workers. High turnover and inexperience can lead to slower work, mistakes, and lower quality results.
Beware of bait-and-switch pricing. Some low offers hide add-ons or “special treatments” that raise the final bill. Transparent companies give honest quotes with no surprise charges.
A low price isn’t always bad—it can mean a lean, efficient small business. But if it’s far below market rate, it may signal corner-cutting on insurance, quality, or safety.
TLC: Making It Easy positions its pricing in the middle of the pack – we’re not the most expensive option out there, but we’re also not going to compete with cut-rate, uninsured contractors at the very bottom. Our goal is to provide top value: a high standard of service at a fair, accessible price. We believe that investing in quality results and reliable service is worth it, and our pricing reflects that balance.
Many companies use tiered pricing—basic, mid-level, and premium packages. Each includes more services at higher rates, so always compare what’s included before choosing.
Some companies bundle tasks, others price à la carte. At TLC, we bundle smartly for value—like including sill wipes with window cleaning—so you know exactly what’s covered and worth the price.
Service terms vary by company. “Pressure wash,” “soft wash,” or “gutter cleaning” can mean different things. At TLC, we define each service clearly, so you know exactly what’s included.
Product quality impacts price. For sealing or staining, longer-lasting, industrial-grade options cost more but offer better protection. Always compare materials and warranties before choosing.
Some companies include extras by default, while others charge for each add-on. At TLC, we bundle common-sense details—like flushing downspouts—so you get full value without surprise fees.
Membership or loyalty plans can change pricing. Some charge per visit, others per month for ongoing service. At TLC, we offer per-job estimates and discounts for recurring plans.
Routine cleaning prevents costly damage. Regularly washing siding, decks, and gutters stops mold, rot, and leaks—saving thousands in repairs. A little maintenance protects your home’s value.

Neglect leads to higher costs. Overdue cleanings turn into restoration jobs needing more time or repairs. Routine upkeep prevents buildup and saves money long-term.
Exterior cleaning protects your home’s value. Clean siding, gutters, and concrete boost curb appeal and resale price—an investment that can yield thousands in added value.
Clean exteriors offer indirect savings too. Regular washing prevents mold-related health costs and improves energy efficiency by keeping windows and siding clear for better light and heat reflection.
Peace of mind matters. Regular maintenance reduces stress and worry—no surprises from clogged gutters or hidden damage, just confidence your home is protected year-round.
Spring and summer bring peak demand for exterior cleaning. Schedules fill fast, and prices may rise slightly due to overtime or fuel costs. Booking early helps secure the best rates.
Winter is off-peak for exterior cleaning, so scheduling is easier and rates may drop. We often run winter specials, though fall gutter cleanings peak with higher demand in October.
Weather affects pricing and scheduling. Rain, heat, or freezing temps can limit work hours or services. We honor quotes year-round but adjust scope as needed for safe, effective results.
Watch for seasonal promos: holiday gift-card deals and post-winter cleanup specials (Nov–Dec), plus early-spring early-bird discounts. We update this page with offers and may suggest off-peak timing for best value.
Getting started is simple. When you contact us, we’ll ask for your address, the service you need, and a few details—like home size, number of windows, or problem areas. The more info you share, the more accurate your estimate.
We often do a bit of research before quoting. Using tools like Google Maps, Zillow, and county records, we can check your home’s size, roof layout, and driveway area to create accurate remote estimates.
We use past job data to refine estimates. If your home is similar to one we’ve serviced nearby, we can reference real results—like window counts and time spent—for accurate, experience-based pricing.
Most quotes can be done remotely, but for large or complex projects, we offer free in-person estimates. We’ll inspect your property, note details, and provide a clear, no-obligation in-person quote.
Our pricing reflects time and materials. Window cleaning is per window, pressure washing by square footage, and gutter cleaning by foot or labor hour. We’re transparent and show clear breakdowns.
Our website’s online booking tool lets you enter your zip code for an instant estimate and schedule a service. A real person reviews every booking to confirm details and ensure accurate pricing.
The price we quote is the price you pay—no surprises. If something unexpected arises, like extra work or hidden damage, we’ll discuss it first. Our quotes are clear, accurate, and honored.

Yes – absolutely! All our quotes and assessments are free with no obligation. Whether we do it online or come out in person, we’ll give you a clear written estimate at no cost. We want you to have the information you need to make a decision, pressure-free.
Our pricing is based on the type of service, materials required, and the scope of the job. We provide transparent, upfront pricing before any work begins, so there are no surprises. Reach out to us to discuss specifics for your project.
No, never. We pride ourselves on transparent pricing. The quote we give includes all labor, standard materials, and usual costs. We do not later tack on miscellaneous “fees” (you won’t see things like “fuel surcharge” or "booking fee" randomly added). If there’s a potential extra cost (for example, if you decide on an additional service, or if your location is outside our normal service radius), we will tell you up front. The price you agree to is the price you pay – no surprises.
Not for the agreed-upon scope of work. Our quotes are fixed prices for the described job, not estimates that we’ll change on the fly. If it takes us longer than we thought, that’s on us – we do NOT come back and ask for more money. The exception would be if there was unforeseen work outside the original scope (e.g., you ask us while on site to also clean an extra outbuilding, or we discover a whole side of the house that wasn’t included). In those cases, we’d discuss and quote first. But 99% of the time, the price stays exactly as quoted.
We do offer various discounts. For example, we give a multi-service discount if you book multiple services at once (say window cleaning + pressure washing). Additionally, referrals (if you refer a neighbor and they book, you both might get a credit) and occasional seasonal specials (like winter rates or spring early-bird specials) are available. Follow our social media or newsletter to catch these deals. We believe in fair pricing year-round, but hey, who doesn’t like a discount now and then?
We accept various payment methods – cash, check, and all major credit/debit cards. We also can take secure online payments via our invoicing system. Payment is due after the work is completed (NET 15). You don’t need to pay anything to schedule us (no deposit for standard jobs). Once we finish and you’re satisfied, we’ll provide the invoice. For special order materials (like a big sealing project), we might arrange a payment schedule (often 50% upfront and 50% on completion), but that will be clearly discussed beforehand. Again, for nearly all calls, you pay at the end. It’s part of our satisfaction guarantee – we don’t want a dime until you’re happy with the work.
We provide detailed quotes that line-item the services and tasks included. You’ll see what you’re paying for each component. Nothing is vague.
The price we quote is the price you pay—no hidden fees, surprise charges, or add-ons. Any changes are discussed and approved first.
We monitor local market rates to keep pricing fair. If costs change, we’ll notify you and explain why. You’ll always know what you’re paying for and why.
We’re upfront about what’s needed—no upselling. If a cheaper option works, we’ll say so. Our goal is trust, not padding the bill.
No gimmicks or pressure—just honest quotes and clear info. You decide when to move forward. Trust brings our clients back.
Two-story ladders and roof work aren’t worth the risk. DIY can save money, but our pricing includes safety—trained pros, proper gear, no falls.
DIY washing can save money, but pros have the right gear and know-how. We clean safely and thoroughly without damage—tools and skill are included.
Your time matters. DIY can take all weekend; we finish in hours with better results. Part of what you pay for is convenience—and your weekend back.
DIY can look cheaper, but mistakes, rentals, or low-quality materials add up. We do it right the first time—saving you money, hassle, and rework.
Pros deliver higher-quality results thanks to skill and tools. Paying once for quality beats paying twice for fixes—our finish is worth the price.
For small or easy jobs, DIY can work great. Many customers handle touch-ups and call us for the tough or high work—hybrid cleaning saves money too.
For tough, high, or risky jobs, pros are worth it. We have the gear, skill, and guarantees—no stress, no risk, just results done right the first time.
We’ll never say you must hire us. If you love DIY, great—but many try it once and call TLC next time. We’re here when you need us, no pressure.
