Window cleaning in Barrie.

5.0 from 100+ Google reviews

From the lakefront homes on Kempenfelt Drive to the new builds out in Ardagh, we clean windows for Barrie homeowners every week of the year. Our crew is based in Horseshoe Valley, which means we are about 25 minutes from anywhere in the city.

Neighbourhoods we work in

We do not have a favourite end of Barrie. Most weeks the schedule bounces between the south-end family homes in Painswick and Holly, the older mid-century houses in Letitia Heights, and the bigger custom builds in Ardagh and South Shore. We also handle a fair amount of cottages and second homes on Kempenfelt Bay, where lake spray and bug splatter on lakeside glass is its own kind of challenge.

What it costs in Barrie

Every home is different so we always send a real number before we start, but here is where most of our Barrie jobs land:

  • Bungalow, inside and out: around $300. If you only want the outside done (the side that actually gets dirty), it is closer to $150 to $200.
  • Two-storey in Painswick, Holly, or Innis Shore, inside and out: around $400. That is a standard subdivision home with 15 to 20 windows.
  • Custom build in Ardagh or a lakefront home on Kempenfelt: usually $400 and up. Picture windows, skylights, and a lot of second-floor glass take longer, so the price reflects the time.

Add-ons: heavy hard-water staining, screens that have never been taken out, or commercial storefronts get quoted separately. We never start the job without telling you the number first.

Other services we run in Barrie

Most of our Barrie customers book windows in spring and again in fall, and a chunk of them add gutters or Christmas lights to the same trip. Bundling saves you a separate appointment and saves us a separate drive.

FAQs for Barrie homeowners

How fast can you get to a job in Barrie?

Usually within 3 to 5 business days. Barrie is our busiest city so there is almost always a crew finishing a job somewhere in town when you call. If we already have a truck in your neighbourhood that week, we will often slot you in same week.

Do you clean windows in Barrie condos, mid-rise, and commercial buildings?

Yes. Townhouses, semis, and low-rise condos are routine for us. We also clean Barrie condos, mid-rise, and commercial buildings using a water-fed pole that reaches about three storeys from the ground and an articulating boom lift for taller work, up to roughly six storeys. Our crew is Working-at-Heights certified and we carry $2 million liability plus WSIB. The one method we do not use is rope access, which is reserved for true high-rise towers. For anything up to mid-rise, we have you covered. See our high-rise and commercial window cleaning page for the full rundown.

What does a typical Barrie home cost to clean?

A two-storey home in Painswick or Holly with 15 to 20 windows is usually around $400 inside and out. A bungalow in the south end is around $300 for inside and out, or $150 to $200 if you only want the outside cleaned. Custom builds and lakefront homes with picture windows run $400 and up. We always send the number before we start so there are no surprises.

Do you work in winter in Barrie?

We clean exteriors down to about minus 5 with a special cold-weather solution, but it is not our favourite time of year for it. Interior cleaning runs all winter. Most Barrie customers prefer a spring clean in late April or May once the road salt and grit have come off, then a fall clean in October.

Are you insured for working in Barrie?

Yes. $2 million liability and WSIB on every job. If a property manager or a condo board needs a certificate of insurance, just ask when you book and we will send it over the same day.

Can you remove hard-water stains from windows in Barrie?

Most of the time yes. Barrie tap water has moderate calcium so sprinklers, dog spray, and dishwasher steam off the kitchen window leave faint white spots that come off with a regular clean. Heavy staining on south-facing or shower windows where it has built up over years needs a separate treatment we charge for by the panel, usually $15 to $35 per pane depending on severity. We will check before we start.

My windows look terrible right after the snow goes. Is that normal?

Yes, every spring. Three months of road salt, plus pine sap and pollen from the trees that line most Barrie streets, plus lake spray off Kempenfelt Bay. By the end of April the south-facing side of most homes looks worse than it did mid-winter. Best time to book a spring clean is the second or third week of May, after birch pollen drops but before the June humidity rolls in.

Do you do interior-only cleans?

Yes. About 30 percent of our Barrie jobs are interior-only, usually for customers who do their own exteriors with a pure-water system but want a professional inside finish before hosting or before a real-estate listing photo shoot. Interior-only on a typical two-storey runs $200 to $250.

Are you the same crew every visit?

You get familiar faces from our local crew. Chris and Devin lead most Barrie jobs and the rest of the team rotates. Same training, same equipment, same standards either way. If you want a specific person on your job, ask when you book and we will do our best to schedule it.

Window jobs we do around Barrie

What these visits actually involve, and the kind of property they happen on.

Ardagh

Two-storey backing onto the Ardagh Bluffs, so the north glass grows a green film every summer from shade and damp. Pure water off a pole from the ground, frames and sills wiped, screens out and washed. Nothing leans against the siding.

Allandale

Older home with original wood sashes and storm windows. Those want care rather than pressure: the putty is brittle and the glazing bars mark easily. Hand-cleaned where a pole would not do it justice, and the tracks vacuumed before washing so the grit did not turn to paste.

Kempenfelt Bay

Waterfront property where wind off the bay puts fine grit on the lake-facing glass within weeks. Twice a year rather than once, and the difference is visible from the road. Hard water spotting from the sprinkler treated separately from the main clean.

Painswick

South-facing two-storey where spring pollen cakes the glass every May. Exterior, interior and screens in one visit, roughly three hours on a house that size. Pure water leaves no film for the next round of pollen to bond to.

Skylights and picture windows

Custom build with a wall of picture windows and two skylights. Quoted the night the call came in, on site within the week. Skylights are their own job: reached from a pole where possible so nobody is walking a roof to clean glass.

What our customers say

Real Google reviews, including one from Barrie. We run on referrals from the people we have already worked for.

I'd like to say thank you to the boys from Hunks Window Cleaning. They arrived right on time, went through the outside lickety-split, well equipped with the right gear. In the house, they cleaned all the windows inside including the screens. All in all, maybe 2 hours, and very personable.
Glen· Barrie
I found Hunks Window Cleaning on the Internet, when looking for someone to clean my cottage windows. They showed up before I even got there and were professional and knowledgeable. Price was just right also. Thanks again.
John Fiddler· Muskoka
Genuinely impressed with the Hunks Window Cleaning crew. Booked online in a couple of minutes and they showed up right on time at my place in Oro-Medonte, fully insured and ready to work. Every window inside and out came back streak-free, the screens were rinsed off, and they tidied everything up before they left.
