What's different about window cleaning in Markham

Markham winters average around -10°C in January with roughly 146 cm of snow a year, and repeated freeze-thaw cycles leave hard-water spotting and grime baked onto exterior glass by the time spring arrives. Summers climb to about 27°C with occasional severe thunderstorms, adding pollen and storm residue to the mix. Because window cleaning is unlicensed in Ontario, the main thing to verify before booking is that a pro carries general liability insurance and, for any multi-person crew, workers' compensation coverage — particularly for work above the first floor.

Markham's housing stock is relatively young, with only about 18% of dwellings built before 1980 and most homes dating from the 1990s-2010s suburban boom in neighborhoods like Unionville, Cornell, and Berczy Village. Single-detached houses make up 56.2% of the city's roughly 115,000 private dwellings, basements are standard, and slab foundations are rare — so taller two- and three-story exteriors are the norm rather than the exception. Peak season for window cleaning runs April through August, covering post-winter grime and pollen; booking in late winter or the fall shoulder season generally brings better availability and faster scheduling.

What moves the price in Markham

  • Freeze-thaw cycles and ~146 cm of annual snow leave hard-water spotting on exterior glass by spring
  • Basements are standard and slab foundations are rare, so multi-story exteriors are common across the city
  • No provincial license is required; confirm general liability insurance and workers' comp for crews instead
  • Peak season runs April-August; booking in late winter or the fall shoulder season speeds up scheduling

Licensing and permits in Ontario

Window cleaning is unlicensed in most US states and Canadian provinces; the main thing to check is general liability insurance (and workers' comp for a multi-person crew), especially for any work above the first floor.

Residential building permits in Ontario are issued by the local municipality's building department under the Ontario Building Code (not by the province directly), so exact triggers vary somewhat city to city. In Markham, permits come from the City of Markham Building Standards Department.

Tax: HST applies to labor on home repair and improvement services in Ontario — unlike some US states, there's no separate labor exemption, so a contractor charges 13% HST on both materials and labor for taxable home-service work.

Best time to book in Markham

Spring through late summer is peak (post-winter grime, pollen, wedding/event season); book in late winter or fall shoulder season for better rates and faster scheduling. Peak demand: April, May, June, July and August. Typical job length: 1-4 hours (small to medium home); up to a full day for large homes (30+ windows) or multi-story exteriors.

DIY or pro? DIY is fine for single-story, ground-level windows with a squeegee and extension pole; hire a pro for anything above the second floor, hard-water etching, or if ladders make you nervous.
