I use (every spring) a company called America's Best Window Cleaners...they do a great job (38 windows) at great price (under 150) (as I recall)
When I get my spring reminder I'll post a number ....

Took them (3 or 4 guys (that seems to change) about 2 hours.)
First time I used them they came the day I called 
Next time I scheduled it for a day I would all ready be home.
Can't garantee the price though ... usually when I call I remind them what I paid the last time ... so I keep getting to pay that amount ... could be though (I'd think this true) that the price has gone up ...
Oh and yeah....they take care of moving things off the window sills and radiators (in front of windows) ... not so good at getting it all back in the right places but they do remove it all and put it back.

I've never heard of a company charging under 10.00 per window. Your price seems to be around 4.00 per window which is unheard of.

Fred the Hack Boehringer (FGB) charges about six dollars a window, but does a totally crappy job. We had Cleaning America come do 28 windows, (same scenario, double hung storms and windows, 8 sides total) for about $5 per window. They did an adequate job, except when the sun came streaming through them, when you saw the moderate streaks.
They still did okay, since I didn't have to do them.
Their number is 800-528-2321. Ask for the $5/per special price. |

Yes, that sounds about right .. $4 per ... in that neighborhood though, yes.
I think it all started with a coupon which came in the mail ....

Is "America's Best" the same company as "Cleaning America"? |

Will they also wash the exterior of a house? I have some mildew I'd like to get rid of.

I just called America's Best in Bloomfield (973-746-8818) and they quoted me $5.95 per window, which I still think is a good price if they do as good a job as Richard indicated.
