Window Washing at a 1-story house in Chicago on North Navarre Avenue. 16 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Sixteen double-hung windows on a one-story Chicago house don't sound like a long day until you open the first track and see what's been accumulating in there. That was the situation on this job — a straightforward in-and-out window cleaning that revealed, once the work began, tracks that had collected years of grime and hard water residue along the frames. The technician arrived at eight in the morning, walked the property, sized up the scope, and moved straight into the work.
The hard water staining on the glass required focused attention before the squeegee could do its job cleanly — product applied, worked by hand, then cleared. All nine screens came off, got washed, and went back in place. Tracks and frames were wiped down throughout, which on this house meant real scrubbing rather than a quick pass. Both the interior and exterior faces of all sixteen windows were cleaned. The difference in the tracks alone was noticeable by the time the last sill was wiped dry.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a single-story home in Chicago, expect to pay roughly $200–$350 depending on window count and condition. This 16-window job, cleaned inside and out with screen cleaning included, came to $300 — right in the middle of that range. Hard water staining or other buildup can push the price toward the higher end since it requires extra treatment.
A 16-window single-story home cleaned inside and out typically takes a crew 2–3 hours from setup to finish. Jobs with hard water stains, like this one, can add time since each affected pane needs individual treatment before the standard cleaning process.
On this job we cleaned all 16 double-hung windows on both the interior and exterior, and washed all 9 screens. Interior cleaning covers the glass, sills, and frames; exterior cleaning includes removing grime, oxidation, and in this case hard water deposits that had built up on the glass.
Screens are included when you book an interior and exterior wash — we removed, hand-cleaned, and reinstalled all 9 screens on this project. Clean screens make a noticeable difference in how much light comes through, since dust and debris on the mesh can dull the view even after the glass is spotless.
