Window Washing at a 2-story house in Chicago on North Mohawk Street. 7 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago Downtown team.
— Chicago Downtown crew
French-style windows have a way of making a Chicago two-story feel older and more deliberate than the surrounding block, and this one on the North Side had seven of them holding a season's worth of city grime. The divided-light sashes collect dust and exhaust particulate in the muntin channels in a way that plain picture glass doesn't, and by the time we arrived at nine in the morning the frames showed it plainly.
We walked the property first, sized up the work, and turned a quick estimate into a start time within the same conversation. Each French window got the full treatment — interior and exterior both — with attention to the individual pane edges where the muntins trap residue. Working through all seven took two and a half hours at a steady pace, no shortcuts on the detail work the style requires. The invoice went out once the last pane was done.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story home in Chicago, a typical window washing job runs anywhere from $150 to $400 depending on window count, style, and whether you need interior and exterior cleaning. This 7-window French-style job on a 2-story house came in at $255, which is a solid benchmark for a mid-size residential project in the area.
A job this size — 7 windows cleaned inside and out on a 2-story home — typically takes a professional crew between 1.5 and 3 hours. French-style windows have more panes and dividers than standard windows, so they take a bit more care and add some time compared to a flat single-pane setup.
On this project, service covered both the interior and exterior surfaces of all 7 French-style windows, including wiping down frames and sills and leaving the glass streak-free. Interior cleaning means moving carefully around furniture and treatments, while exterior work on a 2-story home involves ladders and extra attention to upper-level reach and safety.
We clean windows on all floors, including upper-level windows on 2-story homes — that's standard for us, not an add-on. Our crew uses ladders and extension equipment to safely reach second-floor windows and deliver the same quality clean you'd expect at ground level.
