Window Washing at a 2-story house in Chicago on South East End Avenue. 17 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago Downtown team.
— Chicago Downtown crew
Five hours start to finish at a two-story house in Chicago — that's how long it took to work through what the technician later called some of the dirtiest glass he'd encountered. The home sits in a part of the city where older residential blocks stack up close together, and the windows showed it: grime built up in layers, with bugs and spiders settled into frames and tracks as though the corners had been undisturbed for seasons. The customer needed a full interior and exterior clean on all 17 windows.
The technician arrived at eight, walked the property, made an estimate on the spot, and got straight to work. Fifteen screens came off, went through a wash, and were set aside to dry before going back in place. Every track and frame got wiped down — and given the bug and spider accumulation, that part of the job demanded real attention before the glass itself could be addressed. The squeegee work came last, inside and out, window by window. By early afternoon the job was closed out and the invoice sent.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story home in Chicago, a full interior and exterior window cleaning typically runs between $250 and $400 depending on window count and condition. This 17-window job on a 2-story house came in at $300, which is right in the middle of that range. Factors like heavy bug buildup or added screen cleaning can nudge the price slightly higher.
A 17-window, 2-story home cleaned inside and out generally takes a professional crew 2 to 3 hours. On this job, extra time was needed to clear out heavy spider and bug debris before the actual cleaning could begin. Screens add a bit of time as well, since each one is removed, washed, and reinstalled individually.
On this job we cleaned all 17 windows from both the interior and exterior, and washed all 15 screens. That means frames and sills are wiped down, glass is cleaned streak-free on both sides, and screens are scrubbed and reseated before we leave. Interior and exterior together gives you a complete result rather than just knocking down the outside surface.
We clean screens as part of our full-service window washing — they're removed, washed separately, and put back in place, just as we did with all 15 screens on this project. Exterior-only service is available if that's all you need, but most homeowners opt for the inside-out package once they see how much grime builds up on screens over a season.
