What's different about window cleaning in Richmond
Richmond’s mild climate brings 1,159.5mm of annual precipitation, with January mean lows of 1.4°C and July mean highs of 22.4°C at the Vancouver International Airport station on Sea Island. With only 36.6cm of snowfall, rare freeze-thaw conditions, and no stated hurricane, wildfire, or hail exposure, homeowners commonly plan window cleaning around spring through late summer, when post-winter grime and pollen make this service busiest. In Steveston Village, Seafair, and Broadmoor, access and window height should be clear in the job description.
Richmond’s occupied dwellings include single-detached homes, apartments, and townhouses, while City Centre has densified with housing built from 2011 to 2021. That mix makes exterior-only versus interior-and-exterior scope, upper-floor access, screens, tracks, sills, and skylights useful details for a pro to assess. Window cleaning is unlicensed in most Canadian provinces; for work above the first floor, confirm general liability insurance and workers’ compensation for a multi-person crew. Building permits are issued locally for specified construction work, not routine window cleaning.
What moves the price in Richmond
- Spring through late summer is peak season for post-winter grime and pollen.
- Upper-floor apartment and high-rise access can require ladders, poles, or water-fed systems.
- City Centre’s densified apartment stock can change access and exterior-window scope.
- Single-detached homes in Broadmoor, Seafair, and Steveston Village may have varied window counts and heights.
Licensing and permits in British Columbia
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 BC are issued by the local municipality or regional district (not the province), based on the BC Building Code; check with the city/district building department before starting work. In Richmond, permits come from the City of Richmond Building Approvals Division.
Tax: PST does not apply to labor for services performed on real property (e.g., plumbing, electrical, HVAC installation/repair in a home) or to labor installing goods that become part of the real property, but materials/parts are PST-taxable and repairs to tangible personal property (appliances, furniture) are PST-taxable; GST applies to essentially all of it. Note BC's 2026 budget is expanding PST to certain professional services (accounting, engineering, security) effective Oct 1, 2026 — this does not currently extend to home trades labor.
Best time to book in Richmond
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.
