Window cleaning in Penang starts from RM100 per visit with us, and that is a real starting price, not an advert that doubles once someone sees your house. The final figure depends on three things — how much glass you have, how high it sits, and what condition it is in — and we confirm it in writing before anything is booked. This article explains exactly how those three things move the number, so you can guess your own quote before you send a single photo.
What the starting price actually covers
RM100 covers a small job done completely: glass cleaned inside and outside where access allows, frames and sills wiped down, edges detailed by hand, finished with purified water so nothing dries streaky. It is the price of a compact single-storey home or a small unit with normal glass. What it is not is a teaser rate for a rushed outside-only wipe — the method is identical on the smallest job and the largest.
Thing one: how much glass you have
Panes take time, and time is most of what you are paying for. A terrace house front-and-back is a different afternoon from a corner semi-D with windows on three sides, and a full-height glass wall counts for several ordinary windows. When you WhatsApp us photos, we are mostly counting glass — which is why photos get you an accurate figure so quickly.
Thing two: how high it sits
Ground floor glass is quick. Second and third storey glass needs poles or ladder work, and the awkward pieces — stairwell glass, air-well panes, anything above a roof pitch — need planning to reach safely. Height is the reason two houses with the same window count can be quoted differently, and it is the part people most often underestimate when they guess their own price.
Thing three: what condition it is in
A first clean after years without one costs more than the visit that follows it, because we are removing traffic film, oxidation and often paint or cement spots rather than a few months of dust. If the glass carries hard water staining — the cloudy white haze that ordinary cleaning will not shift — that is a separate treatment from RM200, and we start it with a RM50 inspection that tells you honestly whether the stain will come off completely or the glass is permanently etched. Regular maintenance visits after the first clean are the cheapest cleaning you will ever buy.
Condo, terrace or shoplot — the shape of the job
Condos are usually quoted by the unit and depend heavily on what the management allows on external glass — inside faces, balcony glazing and sliding panels are standard, and we deal with the JMB conversation where outside access is possible. Terraces and semi-Ds are the classic photo-quote job. Shoplot frontages are often the best value per visit, because street-level glass in volume is fast — which is why many of our commercial clients run a monthly schedule instead of an annual scrub.
The mainland costs the same as the island
There is no travel surcharge anywhere in Penang state. Window cleaning starts from RM100 whether the address is George Town or Bukit Mertajam, because we run a crew on each side of the channel rather than sending one team across the bridge. The same goes for every other service on the price list.
