Window Washing in Crystal Lake, IL

Crystal Lake sits far enough from the lake to miss most of the shoreline grit, but the mature tree canopy in these older subdivisions has its own way of fouling glass — pollen film, aphid residue, and the slow buildup that double-hung windows catch in their tracks through a full season. This two-story house came to us needing a complete interior and exterior wash: 28 windows, 19 screens, and the kind of frame and track work that makes the difference between glass that looks clean and glass that actually is.

Our technician arrived at ten and started with the gutters before touching a single window — clearing that debris first meant nothing would wash back down onto freshly cleaned frames. From there he moved into a steady rhythm: tracks vacuumed and wiped, frames detailed, screens pulled and washed, then each double-hung unit worked inside and out. Twenty-eight windows and nineteen screens across two floors took five hours of methodical work. By mid-afternoon the job was wrapped, the invoice sent, and every sill and sash left dry and clear.
