Window Washing at a 2-story house in Arlington Heights on East Eastman Court. 26 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
A two-story house in Arlington Heights with 26 double-hung windows is a solid day's work, and this one had some oversized units in the mix that added weight to the rhythm of the job. Double-hungs on a home this size tend to accumulate grime in the tracks as much as on the glass itself — dust, dead insects, the general fallout of a suburban lot through the seasons. The customer had asked for a full interior and exterior clean, which meant moving through every room and working both sides of each sash.
We started on the exterior and worked our way around the building systematically, then came inside to finish the job. The oversized windows required more deliberate handling — larger panes mean more pressure on the squeegee pass and more attention to keeping the edges clean the first time. On every unit we wiped down the frames and vacuumed or wiped out the tracks before moving on, so the glass didn't end up sitting in a dirty channel. All 26 windows were done by the end of the day, invoice sent to the customer once we wrapped.

Common questions from Arlington Heights homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house in Arlington Heights, expect to pay somewhere in the $300–$450 range depending on window count and size. This 26-window job with oversized double-hung windows cleaned inside and out came to $390, which is right in line with typical pricing for a home this size. Larger glass or hard-to-reach upper-floor windows can push the number toward the higher end.
A crew working a 26-window, 2-story home typically wraps up in 3 to 5 hours. On this job the oversized double-hung windows added some time since each pane required more careful handling and squeegee work on both the interior and exterior sides. Homes with standard-sized windows at the same count generally come in closer to the 3-hour mark.
On an in-and-out job like this one, we clean both glass surfaces, wipe down the frames and sills, and detail the edges where grime tends to collect. For double-hung windows we tilt the sashes to reach the full exterior glass from inside where needed, then finish the outside from ladders on the upper floor. You get completely clean glass on every side, not just a quick exterior pass.
Yes, oversized and elevated windows are something we handle regularly — this project included several large double-hung panes on the second floor that required extension tools and ladder work to clean properly. We adjust our equipment and technique to the glass size so the result is streak-free regardless of how big or high the window is. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
