Window Washing at a 3-story house in Chicago on West Walton Street. 63 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago Downtown team.
Three stories of Chicago house means a lot of glass, and this one had more than most — 63 windows spread across a tall footprint that demanded steady ladder work and careful planning at every level. The exterior surfaces had taken on a layer of construction residue, the kind that doesn't respond to a standard wash and has to be scraped off pane by pane before any real cleaning can begin. Hard water deposits had also built up on the glass, adding another layer of prep before the squeegee could even come into play. It was a full interior and exterior job, and the scale of it was clear from the moment we pulled up.
The day opened with an unplanned wait — an hour and a half outside before someone came to the door and let us in for the interior work. Once inside, we moved through the house methodically: frames and tracks wiped down at each window, glass cleaned on both sides. The oversized panes on the upper floors required extra care working at height, and the construction scraping on the exterior added real time to every section. We kept at it floor by floor, finishing the third story last. The invoice went out when the work was done.

Common questions from Chicago homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 3-story home with 63 windows cleaned inside and out, this Chicago job came to $1,055 — roughly $16–$17 per window. In the Chicago area, full-service interior and exterior window cleaning on a large home typically runs anywhere from $400 to $1,200 depending on window count, height, and any specialty work like hard water stain removal or post-construction scraping.
A job of this scale — 63 windows, three stories, interior and exterior — generally takes a crew a full day to complete properly. Factors like oversized windows and extra prep work such as construction debris scraping can add time, so scheduling a full day rather than a half-day is realistic for homes of this size.
On this job, every window was cleaned on both the inside and outside, including detail work around frames and sills. The crew also handled post-construction scraping to remove adhesive residue and debris left by contractors, and treated hard water staining on the glass — both common needs on newly built or recently renovated homes.
Yes — this 3-story house required equipment and technique suited for significant height, and all 63 windows were reached and cleaned safely, including the oversized panes on the upper floors. We handle tall residential properties regularly and come prepared with the right ladders and water-fed pole systems to clean high windows without cutting corners.
