Terms of Service
Effective Date: August 11, 2026
These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your use of the Frank’s Window Cleaning website and your interactions with Frank’s Window Cleaning, including requests for estimates, scheduling, services, communications, and text messaging.
By using our website, requesting an estimate, scheduling services, or otherwise doing business with Frank’s Window Cleaning, you agree to these Terms.

New York, NY 10028
Telephone: 212-288-4631
2. Estimates and Service Requests
Customers may contact Frank’s Window Cleaning to request information, estimates, or service appointments.
Any estimate provided is based on the information available to us at the time the estimate is prepared. Pricing may change if the actual conditions, scope of work, number or type of windows, accessibility, safety requirements, building requirements, or other circumstances differ from what was originally described or observed.
An estimate does not guarantee availability or constitute a binding agreement to perform services until the service has been scheduled or otherwise confirmed by Frank’s Window Cleaning.
3. Minimum Service Charges, Deposits and Payment
Pricing and Price Changes
- Any prices, rates, minimum service charges, surcharges, or other fees published on our website, included on a price list, or otherwise provided as general pricing information are current as of the date stated and are subject to change. Frank’s Window Cleaning may adjust pricing for future services to reflect inflation and increases in the costs of operating a window cleaning business in New York City, including significant and continuing increases in insurance premiums, labor, equipment, transportation, regulatory compliance, and other operating expenses. Unless otherwise stated, a price change will not alter a service price that has already been specifically quoted and confirmed for a scheduled job, except where the actual scope, site conditions, access requirements, window conditions, building requirements, or other circumstances differ from those on which the estimate was based, as otherwise provided in these Terms.
- Frank’s Window Cleaning maintains a minimum service charge for scheduled work. The applicable minimum may vary depending on the type of service, location, building requirements, access conditions, scheduling requirements, and other factors associated with the job. If the value of the services performed is less than the applicable minimum service charge, the minimum service charge will apply.
- A deposit equal to 50% of the estimated service total is required to confirm and reserve scheduled work, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Frank’s Window Cleaning. The deposit will be applied toward the final amount due.
- The remaining balance is due upon services rendered and completion of the scheduled work, unless different payment terms have been agreed to in writing in advance.
- Any additional services, surcharges, access charges, administrative fees, third-party costs, or other approved adjustments incurred in connection with the job will be included in the final amount due.
- Invoices, receipts, payment reminders, and other billing communications may be delivered electronically, including by email or text message where permitted.
4. Cancellations, Rescheduling and Deposits
Customers who need to cancel or reschedule service should provide as much advance notice as possible.
Cancellations or rescheduling requests made at least 48 hours before the scheduled service date may have the deposit transferred to a new service date or refunded, at Frank’s Window Cleaning’s discretion.
Cancellations or rescheduling requests made less than 48 hours before the scheduled service date may result in all or a portion of the deposit being retained to cover reserved labor, scheduling, administrative costs, and other expenses associated with the scheduled work.
If our technicians arrive at the property and are unable to perform the scheduled service because access is unavailable, the customer is not present when required, building authorization has not been arranged, required documentation has not been provided, windows or work areas are inaccessible, or other customer-controlled conditions prevent the work from proceeding, the visit may be treated as a late cancellation. The deposit may be retained, and an additional trip, access, or rescheduling charge may apply.
If weather, unsafe working conditions, building restrictions, equipment issues, or other circumstances outside Frank’s Window Cleaning’s reasonable control require the service to be postponed, the customer’s deposit will be transferred to the rescheduled service date.
Frank’s Window Cleaning reserves the right to cancel or reschedule work when conditions cannot be safely or reasonably serviced. If Frank’s Window Cleaning cancels the service and the parties are unable to agree on a replacement date, any unused deposit associated with that service will be refunded.
Any approved specialty materials, permits, third-party charges, customized Certificates of Insurance, building fees, or other non-refundable expenses incurred specifically for the customer may be deducted from any otherwise refundable deposit.
5. Scheduling, Access and Customer Responsibilities
Customers are responsible for providing accurate contact information and any information reasonably necessary for us to schedule and perform the requested work.
Customers are responsible for providing timely and appropriate access to the property and to all areas where services are to be performed.
Before our technicians arrive, customers should remove or secure furniture, decorations, personal belongings, plants, electronics, window treatments, and other obstacles that may prevent safe and reasonable access to the windows or other service areas.
Customers should advise Frank’s Window Cleaning in advance of any known hazards, damaged windows, unstable fixtures, construction conditions, restricted areas, pets, alarms, security requirements, or other circumstances that could affect the safety of our technicians or their ability to perform the work.
Frank’s Window Cleaning reserves the right to decline, postpone, modify, or discontinue work when conditions are reasonably determined to be unsafe or unsuitable for our employees.
Additional charges may apply if technicians are required to spend additional time moving obstacles, waiting for access, addressing unexpected site conditions, or otherwise preparing an area that was expected to be accessible upon arrival.
Service times may be affected by weather, building access, safety considerations, traffic, staffing, or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
6. Difficult, Special-Access or Unusual Work
Additional charges may apply when work requires unusual difficulty, additional labor, specialized equipment, additional personnel, ladder work, belt work, difficult or restricted access, unusually large or complex windows, multiple window panels, storm windows, CityQuiet-style windows, or other conditions beyond those contemplated in the original estimate.
Frank’s Window Cleaning will make reasonable efforts to identify these conditions in advance. However, some conditions may not become apparent until our technicians arrive or begin the work. Where reasonably possible, the customer will be advised of additional charges before the additional work is performed.
7. Certificates of Insurance and Building Requirements
Some buildings, property managers, co-op or condominium boards, management companies, or other third parties require Frank’s Window Cleaning to obtain or provide a Certificate of Insurance (COI), customized insurance documentation, endorsements, permits, access documentation, or other administrative materials before work can begin.
Additional administrative or processing charges may apply for obtaining, preparing, retrieving, modifying, or resubmitting COIs or other building-required documentation, particularly when customized documentation, repeated submissions, rush processing, or coordination with third parties is required.
Any third-party charges associated with these requirements may also be passed through to the customer.
8. Existing Damage, Old Windows and Windows in Poor Condition
Window cleaning necessarily involves opening, closing, handling, or applying reasonable pressure to windows, frames, screens, hardware, and related components.
Customers are responsible for informing Frank’s Window Cleaning of any windows or components known to be damaged, deteriorated, difficult to operate, painted or sealed shut, unusually fragile, improperly installed, or otherwise in poor condition.
Older windows, windows that have not been opened or operated for an extended period, and windows or frames affected by age, deterioration, rot, corrosion, defective hardware, failed seals, improper installation, prior damage, or inadequate maintenance may fail or break during ordinary handling.
Frank’s Window Cleaning is not responsible for damage or failure resulting from pre-existing defects, deterioration, faulty installation, defective or weakened materials, age-related conditions, or windows and components that cannot withstand reasonable and customary handling required to perform the requested service.
If our technicians believe that a window or related component cannot be safely opened, moved, removed, cleaned, or reinstalled, Frank’s Window Cleaning may decline to service that particular item.
