Window Washing at a 2-story house in Chicago on North Wayne Avenue. 54 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago Downtown team.
Fifty-four windows on a two-story Chicago house is a full day's work before you factor in anything else, and this one on the north side had French-style sashes throughout that slowed the pace in the way those divided-light frames always do. The crew arrived at eight in the morning, walked the property to assess the scope, and got an estimate together before the first squeegee came off the van. The neighborhood sits in that dense stretch of residential blocks where mature trees hold moisture and insects find every corner of a frame to settle into over a season.
The exterior-only clean meant working the glass and frames from outside, and the bugs and spider nesting were consistent across the building — webs in the muntin intersections, debris packed into the corners of each divided pane. Every French-style sash got individual attention: frame wiped down, grid cleared, glass worked section by section. That detail work is what pushed the job past a standard timeline, but the 54 windows were done and the crew was off-site by mid-morning, finishing out at three and a half hours total.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story home in Chicago, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $200 and $350 depending on window count and condition. This 54-window job on a 2-story house came in at $269, which is right in the middle of that range. French-style windows take a bit more care due to their divided panes, but the price stayed competitive.
A job this size — 54 windows across two stories — generally takes a crew a few hours to complete. French-style windows require extra attention at each divided pane, and heavy bug and spider buildup on the exterior added some time to the detail work. Most 2-story exterior-only jobs wrap up within a half-day.
Exterior-only service covers a full clean of the outside glass, frames, and sills on every window. On this job that meant working through significant insect and spider debris on all 54 French-style windows before getting to the glass itself. Screens are not removed or cleaned as part of an exterior-only visit, keeping the focus entirely on the outside surfaces.
Yes, second-story windows are a standard part of what we do on any 2-story home. We use the right ladders and extension equipment to reach upper-level French-style panes safely and get the same thorough clean as the ground-floor windows.
