Window Washing at a 1-story house in Chicago on North McVicker Avenue. 12 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
A one-story bungalow in Chicago keeps its profile low, but that doesn't mean it's easy to maintain. This home had accumulated the kind of buildup that comes from sitting under mature street trees — gutters packed and twelve double-hung windows coated in the layered grime that Chicago's shoulder seasons leave behind. The work order was straightforward: exterior glass only on the first floor, plus a full gutter clean.
We moved through the gutters first, clearing out the debris before shifting to the windows. Each of the twelve double-hungs got a thorough exterior wash — frame wiped down, glass squeegeed clean. Working the outside only kept the pace efficient, and with just one story to cover there was no complicated rigging involved. The crew wrapped the job in a single visit, leaving the gutters clear and the glass free of the film that had built up through the season.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 12-window exterior-only job on a one-story home in Chicago, this project came in at $100. Generally, exterior-only window cleaning on a comparable single-story house in the Chicago area runs between $90 and $150 depending on window count and condition.
A 12-window exterior cleaning on a single-story home typically takes one technician about an hour to an hour and a half. Straightforward double hung windows with no major buildup or hard-to-reach angles keep the job moving quickly.
Exterior-only service covers washing and squeegee-finishing the outside glass on every window included in the job — in this case, 12 double hung windows. Frames and sills on the exterior are wiped down as part of the process, leaving the glass streak-free without any interior access needed.
Screen cleaning is not part of a standard exterior-only window wash — screens are typically removed or left in place depending on access, but a dedicated screen scrub-down is a separate add-on service. If your screens are heavily soiled, ask about adding that when you book so the crew can plan accordingly. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
