Question 1

What does window cleaning cost?

Accepted Answer

Pricing starts at $5.00 per pane, per side, for ground-level windows, with rates increasing for second-story and third-story or harder-to-reach windows. Add-on services like screen cleaning, window track and frame cleaning, skylights, and solar panel cleaning are also available. Because total cost depends on your home's size and window count, the fastest way to get an exact number is a free quote.

Question 2

Do you offer screen cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes — screen cleaning is available as an add-on to any window cleaning service, starting at $3.50 per screen, which includes removing, cleaning, and reinstalling each screen so you're not left with clean glass and dirty screens.

Question 3

How often should I clean my windows?

Accepted Answer

Most homeowners get the best results cleaning windows twice a year — once in spring and once in fall. Along Colorado's Front Range, wind-blown dust and spring storms tend to build up grime faster than in calmer climates, so homes near open fields or busy roads sometimes benefit from a third cleaning mid-summer. Commercial and storefront windows usually need more frequent attention — monthly to quarterly is typical depending on foot traffic and location. If you also have solar panels, cleaning them once or twice a year alongside your windows helps keep them performing at full efficiency.

Question 4

Does tint stop UV damage?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Quality window film blocks more than 99% of UVA and UVB rays — the same rays responsible for fading furniture, flooring, and artwork, and for skin damage from everyday sun exposure through a window. Standard glass already blocks most UVB on its own, but UVA rays pass right through it, which is exactly what window film is designed to stop.

Question 5

I'm trying to increase privacy — will tint help?

Accepted Answer

Yes, with one caveat worth knowing: most residential window film creates strong one-way privacy during the day, when it's brighter outside than in — passersby can't see in, but you can still see out clearly. At night, once your interior lights are on, that effect reverses, so film alone won't fully block visibility after dark. If nighttime privacy is the priority, ask us about frosted or decorative film options.

Question 6

What is the warranty on the tint and installation?

Accepted Answer

Window film is backed by the manufacturer's warranty — a limited lifetime warranty on interior-applied film, and 5 years on exterior-applied film. On top of that, Summit Window Solutions backs the installation itself with a 1-year workmanship warranty.

Question 7

How long does it take to clean and/or tint my windows?

Accepted Answer

For a typical two-story home with windows, screens, and tracks, plan on about 5-6 hours — it can run a bit longer if it's been a while since the last cleaning. Window film timing depends more on total square footage: a standard tinting job usually takes 2-4 hours, while tinting an entire home can take a full day or two depending on window size and how accessible the windows are.
