Window Washing at a 3-story house in Chicago on West George Street. 26 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago Downtown team.
— Chicago Downtown crew
Post-construction glass is in a category of its own. Joint compound dust, silicone smear, paint overspray, and adhesive residue layer up in ways that routine grime never does, and the three-story house we arrived at in Chicago at noon had all of it. The 26 windows had clearly been through a full renovation, and the condition on arrival was as rough as post-construction jobs get — frames clouded, glass surfaces coated with construction film that had already begun to bond.
We started with an on-site estimate, then moved straight into the work. Each window required deliberate attention: the construction residue called for more aggressive pre-treatment and repeated passes rather than a standard wash-and-squeegee rhythm. We worked the job inside and out across all three floors, pulling the 12 screens and running them through a thorough wash before resetting them. The pace was slower than a maintenance clean by design — cutting corners on post-construction glass means leaving streaks locked under residue that won't lift on a follow-up visit. By the time we finished the top floor, every pane had been worked down to clear glass. Invoice sent to the customer the same day.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 26-window job on a 3-story Chicago home ran $350, which is right in line with typical pricing for larger properties in the area. For a 3-story house with interior and exterior cleaning, most homeowners in Chicago can expect to pay between $300 and $450 depending on window count and accessibility. Factors like screens, storm windows, or hard-to-reach upper floors can nudge the price higher.
A job this size — 26 windows cleaned inside and out across three stories — typically takes a two-person crew around 3 to 4 hours to complete. Upper-floor windows on a 3-story home require ladders or extension equipment, which adds some time compared to a single-story property. Scheduling a morning start usually means the job wraps up well before afternoon.
On this project, the service covered all 26 windows cleaned on both the interior and exterior, plus 12 screens removed, washed, and reinstalled. We wipe down frames and sills as part of the process, so you're not left with dirty borders around clean glass. Interior cleaning includes careful work around blinds, sills, and any furniture near the windows.
We clean all windows on the home, including third-floor windows that require ladders or telescoping water-fed poles to reach safely. No windows get skipped because of height — that's especially important on a 3-story property where the upper glass often gets ignored the longest and tends to be the dirtiest. Our crew brings the right equipment on every job so the whole house gets done in one visit. For a quote, call our Chicago Downtown team at (773) 377-4600.
