Window Washing at a 2-story house in Barrington on West Lincoln Avenue. 22 windows cleaned. Completed by our Barrington team.
— Barrington crew
Barrington carries the kind of settled, wooded character that makes properties look well-rooted — mature plantings pressed close to the foundation, oak canopy overhead, the general sense that nature has been here longer than the house. That growth comes at a cost on the glass. This two-story home's 22 French-style windows had collected a full season's worth of what that setting produces: hard water deposits along the lower sills, spider webs anchored in every divided-light corner, and the remnants of a summer's insect traffic baked onto the exterior panes.
We worked the outside only, which meant navigating shrubs and ornamental plantings that had grown tight against the siding — reaching the lower sashes required careful positioning to avoid damage to the landscaping while still getting a clean angle on each pane. The French-style windows demanded attention at every muntin intersection, where debris and mineral residue tend to concentrate. Hard water staining came off with targeted treatment before the final squeegee pass. Webs and bug matter were cleared frame by frame as we moved around the house. All 22 windows were finished by the end of the visit, with the invoice sent to the customer directly after the crew wrapped up.
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 Barrington homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house in Barrington, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $130 and $220 depending on window count and condition. This 22-window job came in at $153, which reflects exterior cleaning on French-style windows with some extra time spent on hard water stains and bug buildup. Most homeowners in the area land somewhere in that range for a similar scope.
A 22-window exterior job on a 2-story home generally takes a crew about 2 to 3 hours from setup to finish. On this Barrington project, working around bushes and trees near the windows added a bit of time, as did scrubbing off hard water deposits and clearing out spider webs before cleaning. Tighter landscaping and stubborn staining are the two most common reasons a job runs longer than expected.
Exterior window washing covers the full outer glass surface, including scrubbing off hard water stains, removing bug residue and spider webs, and detailing the frames and sills. On French-style windows like the ones on this house, each divided pane gets individual attention to avoid streaking in the grille lines. Screens are not part of an exterior-only service, but they can be added on request.
Yes, second-story windows are a standard part of what we do on 2-story homes, handled with extension poles or ladders depending on the layout. On this Barrington job, overhanging trees and shrubs required careful positioning to reach the upper windows safely without damaging the landscaping.
