Window Washing at a 2-story house in Chicago on North Glenwood Avenue. 28 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Double-hung windows on a two-story Chicago house collect a particular kind of grime by late season — road dust, cottonwood residue, and the slow work of spiders and insects that find every frame corner and track channel worth occupying. This one had all of it. Twenty-eight windows across the exterior, and nearly every sill showed the same story: bug casings, webs packed into the track grooves, and the kind of general buildup that comes from a full Chicago year outdoors.
We arrived at eight in the morning and moved straight into the work. The exterior glass came first — squeegee runs on each of the 28 double-hungs, then frames and tracks wiped down individually, which took time given how thoroughly the bugs had settled in. Fifteen screens came off, got scrubbed out, and went back in place. The pace was steady and the scope was clear, and we had everything wrapped inside three and a half hours.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 28-window exterior job on a 2-story home in Chicago ran $295, which is typical for a project of that size. For most 2-story houses in the Chicago area, exterior-only window cleaning generally falls in the $200–$375 range depending on window count, accessibility, and condition.
A 28-window exterior wash like this one usually takes a crew about 2 to 3 hours from setup to finish. Heavier buildup — this job had significant bug and spider debris on the frames and glass — can add some time, but our team works efficiently to keep the visit as short as possible.
On an exterior-only job like this one, we clean the outside surface of every window — in this case 28 double-hung windows — removing dirt, grime, bugs, and spider webs from both the glass and frames. The 15 screens were also cleaned as part of the service, so they don't immediately re-dirty the glass after we leave.
Yes, we clean screens when they're present and accessible — this 2-story house had 15 screens that were washed alongside the exterior glass. Clean screens matter because dirty screens let debris transfer back onto freshly cleaned windows the first time it rains or the wind picks up. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
