Power Washing at a 2-story house in Wilmette on 16th Street. 1500 sq ft. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Wilmette's older residential blocks tend to accumulate a specific kind of surface grime — algae creeping up from the foundation line, road dust embedded in the texture of vinyl siding, and the general film that builds up through a full Midwest winter and into spring. This two-story house was a straightforward candidate for a reset: 1,500 square feet of vinyl siding that had seen enough seasons to show it.
Our crew worked the exterior methodically, moving around the perimeter of the house from ground to roofline. Vinyl siding responds well to controlled pressure washing when you respect the material — angle matters, and so does keeping water from driving up behind the panels. We covered the full 1,500 square feet across both stories, working each elevation before moving to the next. The finished surfaces were free of the streaking and organic buildup that had settled in over time. Invoice went out the same day the work was done.
Crew on this job
Timothy
Timothy may be our youngest technician, but don’t let that fool you. He’s experienced, professional, courteous, and already knows his way around the job like a seasoned pro. He’s also a promising DJ, so there’s a good chance he can fix the problem and recommend a solid playlist while he’s at it. Everyone loves Timothy because he’s easy to talk to, always upbeat, and genuinely enjoys meeting people. He also has a strange love for Wisconsin, which we still haven’t fully figured out - but nobody’s perfect.

Common questions from Wilmette homeowners researching Power Washing.
This 2-story house in Wilmette ran $630 for roughly 1,500 sq ft of exterior surface washing. For most single-family homes in the Wilmette area, power washing typically falls between $400 and $800 depending on square footage, siding type, and how much buildup needs to be removed.
A job this size — a 2-story exterior at around 1,500 sq ft — generally takes a crew 2 to 4 hours from setup to finish. Factors like heavy mildew staining, tight landscaping around the foundation, or multiple surface types can push that toward the longer end.
On a whole-house wash like this one, we cover all exterior siding surfaces, working top to bottom to push dirt, algae, and grime off cleanly without driving water behind the cladding. We work around windows, doors, and trim carefully, and we move or protect any patio furniture or plantings that sit close to the house.
For most residential siding — vinyl, aluminum, or painted wood — we adjust pressure and nozzle angle so the surface gets a thorough clean without gouging or lifting paint. When siding is older or shows any loose paint, we drop to a soft-wash approach that relies more on detergent and lower pressure to do the work safely.
