Window Cleaning Checklist Before Selling Your Calgary Home

Streaky or grimy windows show up clearly in real estate photos — often more obviously than in person. If you're listing your Calgary home, this is a fast, high-impact fix.

The Checklist

• Exterior glass — the first thing buyers see in listing photos, especially front-facing windows.
• Interior glass — matters most for interior shots and in-person showings.
• Tracks and sills — buyers open windows during showings. Gritty tracks are a small thing that reads as "not well maintained."
• Screens — torn or grimy screens are an easy, cheap fix that removes a visual flag.

Timing It Right

Book your window cleaning close to your listing photos and first showings — not weeks before, since Calgary dust and weather can undo the work faster than you'd expect.

Worth the Cost?

Compared to the cost of staging or repairs, window cleaning is one of the cheapest ways to make a home show better. It's a small line item next to a real return in how the listing photographs.
