Window Washing at a 2-story house in Chicago on West Cornelia Avenue. 44 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago Downtown team.
— Chicago Downtown crew
A two-story house in Chicago's interior neighborhoods tends to collect a season's worth of city grime in a hurry — exhaust particulate, wind-driven dust, the fine residue that settles wherever mature trees shade the glass and slow the sun's drying action. This one had all of that, forty-four double-hung windows spread across two floors, each needing exterior work before the buildup had a chance to etch any deeper into the frames.
We worked the exterior only, moving through the double-hungs methodically — sash by sash, frame wipe before the squeegee. Where landscaping pressed close to the building, shrubs and low branches forced us to adjust our stance and tool angle rather than rush the pass. It slowed the pace in spots, but every pane got a clean, even pull. Forty-four windows, two floors, finished in a single visit. Invoice was sent to the customer electronically once the crew wrapped.
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 Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story home in Chicago, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $150 and $300 depending on window count and accessibility. This 44-window job came in at $180, which is right in the middle of that range for a house of this size. Factors like landscaping obstacles or hard-to-reach windows can affect the final price.
A job like this one — 44 double-hung windows on a 2-story home — typically takes a crew about 2 to 3 hours from setup to cleanup. Obstacles like bushes and trees close to the windows did require extra maneuvering, but an experienced crew works around them without adding significant time.
An exterior-only service covers the outside glass surfaces of every window on the job — in this case, 44 double-hung windows across both stories. We remove dirt, water spots, and grime from each pane and wipe down the frames as part of the process. Interior glass and screens are not included in an out-only service.
Yes — working around landscaping is a normal part of exterior window washing on residential properties. On this job, bushes and trees near the windows required the crew to reposition ladders and work carefully to reach every pane without damaging the plantings. As long as there's safe access, overgrown landscaping isn't a reason to skip a window. For a quote, call our Chicago Downtown team at (773) 377-4600.
