Define what belongs in the cleaning scope

A clear scope helps both sides understand the estimate. “Clean the windows” can mean different combinations of interior glass, exterior glass, screens, frames, tracks and sills. State the areas you want included and ask how unusual conditions are handled.

Work through it

1. List the types of openings: fixed windows, operating windows, doors and sliders. Note inaccessible areas rather than assuming they are included.
2. Identify additional work such as screens, tracks or construction cleanup. Describe the condition with photos and avoid combining different services into one vague line.
3. Review the written estimate and confirm inclusions, exclusions and access arrangements before choosing a date. Keep the scope available for the final walkthrough.
