What's different about window cleaning in Vancouver
Vancouver has a mild, wet oceanic climate: January mean 4.1°C, July mean 18.2°C, annual precipitation ~1,160mm (most falling Oct–Mar as rain) and only ~37cm of snow a year, so freeze-thaw cycling and frost are minor concerns but roof/gutter maintenance for near-constant winter rain is critical; no hurricane or wildfire-smoke-free guarantee (regional wildfire smoke reaches the city some summers).
City of Vancouver's housing stock is dominated by multi-unit dwellings: single-detached houses are only 27.7% of the CMA's occupied dwellings and roughly a third of city households live in a condo/apartment; about 20% of city dwellings were built before 1960 (12.3% pre-1945), so older housing carries knob-and-tube wiring, aging cast-iron/clay drain lines, and non-permitted secondary suites are common.
What moves the price in Vancouver
- Height and access (ladders, poles, water-fed systems for upper floors)
- Interior vs. exterior-only scope (interior adds ~30-50%)
- Add-ons: screens, track/sill detailing, hard-water stain removal, skylights
- Condition and job size (post-construction grime, recurring-service discounts)
- Metro labor/insurance costs (Toronto, Vancouver, NYC, SF sit at the top of ranges)
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 Vancouver, permits come from the City of Vancouver – Development, Buildings & Licensing (Development and Building Services Centre).
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 Vancouver
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.
