Power Washing at a 2-story house in Lake Villa on Brooking Court. 3100 sq ft. Completed by our Round Lake team.
— Round Lake crew
Lake Villa sits far enough north that the winters leave a mark — road salt carried on tire spray, freeze-thaw cycles that work grime into every horizontal seam, and a short spring that doesn't give vinyl siding much chance to breathe before the humidity sets in. The two-story house we washed here had accumulated that kind of layered buildup across roughly 3,100 square feet of exterior surface — the slow accumulation of a full season rather than any single event.
We worked the vinyl siding methodically from the top down, letting the pressure washing push the loosened material away from the face rather than driving it into seams or window channels. A two-story exterior of this scale has its own rhythm — upper courses first, working in overlapping passes, then stepping down to the foundation band once the higher surface was clear. By the end of the day the siding was back to reading as vinyl again rather than weathered gray, and the invoice went out the same afternoon the job closed.

Common questions from Lake Villa homeowners researching Power Washing.
This 2-story house in Lake Villa came in at $450 for roughly 3,100 sq ft of exterior siding. In the broader Chicago North Shore area, whole-house power washing on a home that size typically runs $350–$550 depending on story count, surface condition, and accessibility.
A job like this 3,100 sq ft 2-story generally takes a crew 2 to 3 hours from setup to rinse. Tighter soffits, heavy oxidation, or hard-to-reach second-story sections can add time, but most single-day scheduling holds up well.
On this project we washed the full exterior siding of the home — all four sides, top to bottom. We work around windows, doors, and fixtures, and we adjust pressure and distance based on the siding material to avoid damage to caulk lines or paint.
Yes, when done correctly — the key is using the right PSI and keeping the wand at the proper angle so water doesn't force its way behind panels or strip paint. We adjust pressure for each surface type, so vinyl, wood, and painted finishes all get cleaned without being compromised. For a quote, call our Round Lake team at (847) 807-1455.
