It's up to you what you clean. Maybe the old wc used to do the lot, if so then thats what they would expect. It's always a good idea to include freebies in the price and then price accordingly.

Clean all doors, custies love it and do them with a cloth by hand it takes a bit longer[about 1 min] but you dont leave a puddle outside, which I think custies dislike.

I do all doors wfp, only had one that leaks and customer asked me not to do it in future.  I use a floor squeegie to get rid of the puddle, takes no time while posting work ticket or collecting money.
I took over some customers from a trad guy who retired and a lot of the customers remarked on how good their doors looked (never mentioned the windows)

If I do doors,its only when asked and paid extra. We're window cleaners first and formost, so where do you draw the line.
Id never WFP the doors anyway.

I wfp all doors, always ask the customer 1st though if it leaks, can't really blame you then if they've said it doesn't, and it does ;D
