Window Washing at a 1-story house in Arlington Heights on North Dryden Place. 17 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
A one-story ranch in Arlington Heights, late in the season when insects have had all summer to establish themselves along window frames and in screen mesh. The homeowner wanted the exterior glass addressed along with screens and tracks — a thorough once-over on 17 windows before the weather turned. Our technician arrived at 8:30, walked the property, put together an estimate on the spot, and got straight to work.
The bug load was real — spiders had webbed into corners and along the frames, and screen mesh was carrying a season's worth of accumulated debris. All 14 screens came off, got a proper wash, and went back in place. Frames and tracks were wiped down as part of the routine, pulling out the grit that collects in the channels over time. The exterior glass followed, squeegeed clean on all 17 windows. Three hours start to finish, with the invoice sent once the work was wrapped.

Common questions from Arlington Heights homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a single-story home in Arlington Heights, exterior-only window cleaning typically runs $200–$320 depending on window count and screen cleaning. This 17-window job with 14 screens cleaned came to $258, which is right in the middle of that range for a home this size.
A single-story home with around 17 windows generally takes one to two hours for an exterior wash. Factor in screen cleaning and any extra scrubbing for bug and spider debris, and the job can run closer to the longer end of that window.
Exterior-only service covers washing and squeegee-finishing every outside glass surface, plus wiping down frames and sills. On this job, 14 screens were also removed, cleaned, and reinstalled, which is a common add-on that makes a noticeable difference in how much light comes through.
Yes — heavy bug buildup and spider webs get cleared from frames, corners, and screen mesh before any water touches the glass. This job had a significant amount of both, so those areas got extra attention to make sure nothing smeared across the pane during the wash. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
