▶Window Cleaning Business Toolkit
The rate sheet, the pane count estimate, the service agreement, the invoice and the daily route sheet, plus the workbook that prices a house by the pane and the gutter by the foot and tells you what the day actually paid.
Most window cleaners do not lose money on the glass. They lose it on the second story they priced like the first, the gutter run nobody measured, and the regular customer nobody called back.
- A one page window and gutter rate sheet priced by the pane and by the foot, with the story multipliers spelled out where the customer can see them
- A pane count estimate and quote you walk the house with, price from the rate sheet and get signed before the first ladder goes up
- A six tab workbook that prices the panes, the screens, the tracks and the gutter feet, applies the story multiplier, the minimum charge and the regular service discount, then reads back the net on the job and the net per crew hour
- A worked sample: a one story house with forty-eight panes in and out, twenty screens, twenty tracks and a hundred and sixty feet of gutter comes to five hundred and eighty-six dollars; the same count at two stories is seven hundred and forty-two dollars and fifty cents
- A rebook cycle tab that turns the last clean and the cycle into the next due date and a status: overdue, due now, or soon
- A daily route sheet that puts one truck's stops in the order you drive them, with an end of day block for what changed
- Six hundred and ninety-nine fillable fields across ten documents, with an editable Word edition of every one
- A multi-service stop sheet that keeps windows, screens, tracks, gutters and downspouts on one property on one page
Overview
The rate sheet, the pane count estimate, the service agreement, the invoice and the daily route sheet, plus the workbook that prices a house by the pane and the gutter by the foot and tells you what the day actually paid.
Most window cleaners do not lose money on the glass. They lose it on the second story they priced like the first, the gutter run nobody measured, and the regular customer nobody called back.
This is the paperwork side of a window and gutter business, done: ten business documents as fillable PDFs, the same ten as editable Word files, and an Estimate Calculator workbook that prices a house by the pane and the gutter by the foot, applies the story multiplier and the minimum, and then tells you what the job actually paid after the crew and the truck.
What's Included
One ZIP, 25 files:
- One ZIP holding ten window and gutter cleaning documents as fillable PDFs and the same ten as editable Word files
- The Window and Gutter Estimate Calculator workbook with six tabs: Your Rates, Pane Count Estimate, Quote Builder, Route Sheet, Rebook Cycle and Income Plan
- A worked example running through the documents and the workbook: one house counted, quoted, routed, cleaned, billed and rebooked end to end
- A Quick-Start PDF and a START-HERE file that say which document to open first
- A link to the narrated video tutorial that walks every document and every tab
Key Benefits
Why this one
Windows are priced by the pane and gutters by the foot, so the estimate is something you can do standing in the driveway with the customer watching. Type your per pane and per foot rates into the amber cells once and the same figure goes onto the rate sheet, onto the signed quote and onto the invoice.
A second story is not the same work at the same price, and pretending otherwise is how a crew finishes a job at a loss. The story multiplier is a rate you set, printed on the rate sheet where the customer sees it: the sample house is $586.00 at one story and $742.50 at two, on an identical count.
The workbook takes the crew hours and your crew cost and reads back the net on the job and the net per crew hour. The route sheet carries a day of stops with estimated hours each, so a full day can be costed before the truck rolls.
Window cleaning is a repeat trade and the money is in the cycle. The rebook cycle tab turns the last clean and the agreed cycle into a next due date and a status, and the rebook card is what the crew leaves at the door before they drive away.
It does not tell you how to work a ladder or a roof, what your insurer expects, or what your area requires to trade. The ladder and equipment check sheet only records what the crew checked and when; what to check and how often comes from your training and your own insurer.
Who It's For
Built for
- A window cleaning, gutter cleaning or exterior cleaning business that needs a rate sheet, a quote it can sign and a route for the day
- A new cleaner who wants a per pane price list and a story multiplier before the first estimate
- A one truck crew whose regular customers, tickets and invoices have started to slip
- Anyone adding gutters to a window round and wanting both on one stop sheet
How It Works
Up and running in minutes
Open the workbook and fill the amber cells on Your Rates: your per pane and per foot rates, your story multipliers, your minimum charge, your regular service discount and what a crew hour costs you.
Panes in and out, screens, tracks and feet of gutter, then the stories. The Pane Count Estimate prices it and the Quote Builder puts it on a signable page.
The same figure goes on the signed quote and the invoice, and the stop drops onto the daily route sheet in the order you drive it.
Leave the rebook card at the door and set the cycle. The Rebook Cycle tab turns it into a next due date and a status you can work from.
Why It's Different
Not another template
The shelf sells a folder of exterior-cleaning Word files with a blank price list and no arithmetic behind it, usually priced per square foot because that is what pressure washing does. Windows are not priced that way. This is a working set: the price comes out of a workbook built on panes, screens, tracks and gutter feet, the story multiplier is a rate you set rather than a guess at the truck, the minimum and the regular service discount are applied where you can see them, and the rebook cycle is generated from the last clean instead of remembered.

FAQ
Questions, answered
What format is this?
Ten fillable PDF forms, the same ten as editable Word files, and one workbook in four color editions. You get a ZIP to download the moment payment clears.
Does it come with prices already in it?
It ships with a worked example so nothing opens blank: a one story house, forty-eight panes in and out, twenty screens, twenty tracks and a hundred and sixty feet of gutter at $586.00. Those are sample rates, not a recommendation. Type your own into the amber cells and everything downstream moves with them.
Is this for pressure washing too?
No. The rates here are per pane and per foot of gutter, not per square foot of siding, so a house washing or soft washing business would be pricing the wrong unit. Windows, screens, tracks, gutters and downspouts are what it covers.
Can I actually type in the PDFs?
Yes. All ten carry real form fields, six hundred and ninety-nine of them. Type, save, print, send. Every document also ships as an editable Word file if you would rather rewrite the words.
Does the workbook work in Google Sheets?
Yes. Upload it and open it. There is no FILTER, TEXTJOIN or MAXIFS in it, which is why it also opens cleanly in Excel 2016, Numbers and LibreOffice.
Does it cover ladder safety or insurance?
No, and it says so. The ladder and equipment check sheet records what the crew checked and when. What you check, how often and what cover you carry is set by your training, your own insurer and your area, and differs from place to place.
These are general business documents, not legal advice. Ladder and roof work, licensing and insurance requirements are set locally and by your own insurer, and differ from place to place. Nothing in this bundle states what your own area asks of you. Every name in the sample rows is invented. Digital product; because the files are delivered instantly, all sales are final.
