Window Washing at a 2-story house in Chicago on North Leavitt Street. 26 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago Downtown team.
— Chicago Downtown crew
Older two-flats and frame houses crowd the blocks through this part of Chicago, and the two-story on this job fit right in — divided-light French casements on the front, double-hung sashes running down the sides and back, twenty-six windows in all needing an exterior clean. City glass picks up a particular kind of buildup: exhaust particulate, road dust, the residue that settles between rain events and never quite washes off on its own. The customer wanted the outside addressed, and that's where we put our focus.
We moved through the French casements first, wiping each muntin grid and frame face before running the squeegee across the panes — the divided lights take more time per unit than a standard sash, but the work is straightforward when you stay methodical. The double-hungs on the remaining elevations went steadily after that, frame wipes and squeegee passes on each. Twenty-six windows exterior-only, closed out clean. Invoice sent once the crew wrapped for the day.

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 style. This 26-window job with French style and double hung windows came in at $220, which is right in the middle of that range for a home this size.
A 26-window exterior wash on a 2-story home generally takes a crew 2 to 3 hours from setup to finish. French style windows have more panes and muntins to work around, so they add a bit of time compared to standard double hung units.
Exterior-only service covers a full clean of every outside glass surface, including wiping down frames and sills as we go. On this job that meant 26 windows — a mix of French style and double hung — scrubbed, squeegeed, and detailed so no streaks or water spots were left behind.
Screen cleaning is available as an add-on but is not part of a standard exterior-only package like this one. If you want screens washed at the same visit, just let us know when you book and we'll factor them into the quote. For a quote, call our Chicago Downtown team at (773) 377-4600.
