Window Washing at a 1-story house in Chicago on West Jarvis Avenue. 35 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
A one-story Chicago home with 35 windows is more work than the footprint suggests, especially when the job calls for both sides of the glass and 17 screens to go through the wash as well. The house sat in a part of the city where the residential blocks run dense and the lots don't give you much room to spread out — the kind of neighborhood that borders the quieter communities of Park Ridge and Norridge without quite sharing their suburban pace. The customer needed a full interior and exterior clean, a straightforward scope that still demands methodical attention to get done right.
Our technician arrived at 1:30 in the afternoon and moved through the house in steady sequence — exterior glass, interior glass, screens washed and returned to their frames. With 35 windows across a single story, the rhythm was consistent: frame wipe, squeegee, track cleaned, next window. The screens came out one section at a time, scrubbed down, and set back in place before moving on. Three hours later the job was wrapped, every pane done inside and out, every screen back where it belonged.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a single-story home in Chicago, a full interior and exterior window wash typically runs between $200 and $350 depending on window count and whether screens are included. This 35-window job with 17 screens came in at $295, which is right in the middle of that range. Square footage and accessibility can nudge the price up or down slightly.
A crew working a single-story home with 35 windows inside and out generally wraps up in 3 to 4 hours. Having screens to clean alongside the glass adds some time, but the job stays manageable in a single visit. Larger window counts or heavily soiled glass can push that closer to 5 hours.
On an in-and-out job like this one, we clean both panes of every window — inside surfaces wiped and squeegeed, exterior glass scrubbed and cleared of grime, oxidation, and water spots. Screens are removed, washed, and reinstalled; this project included 17 of them. Tracks and sills get a wipe-down as part of the standard process.
Screens are included whenever a customer opts for interior and exterior service — we remove each one, wash it, and put it back before we leave. On this job we handled 17 screens alongside the 35 windows, so nothing gets skipped. If you only need exterior glass cleaned, we can skip screen removal and adjust the price accordingly.
