Window Washing at a 1-story house in Crystal Lake on Oxford Lane. 25 windows cleaned. Completed by our Barrington team.
— Barrington crew
Crystal Lake sits far enough northwest of the city that the homes here collect a different kind of grime — road dust from the surrounding subdivisions, pollen from the tree lines, and the general film that builds up on glass through a long Midwest winter. This one-story house had 25 double-hung windows that needed attention on the exterior, the kind of quiet accumulation that happens gradually until the light through the glass starts to feel muted.
Our crew worked the outside only, running through all 25 windows systematically — frame wiped down, glass squeegeed clean. Fifteen screens came off along the way, got washed and set aside to dry, then went back in place before we moved to the next section. Double-hungs in a single-story layout keep the work moving at a steady pace, no repositioning or extended reach required, and the job followed that rhythm from start to finish.

Common questions from Crystal Lake homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 1-story home in Crystal Lake, exterior-only window washing typically runs $250–$375 depending on window count and accessibility. This 25-window job came in at $320, which is right in the middle of that range for a single-story house with standard double-hung windows.
A 25-window exterior wash on a single-story home generally takes one to two hours with a trained crew. The straightforward roofline and ground-level access on jobs like this one keep the work moving efficiently.
On an exterior-only job, we clean the outside glass surface of every window, wipe down frames, and remove dirt, water spots, and grime. This project also included cleaning 15 screens, which get scrubbed and rinsed separately before being reinstalled.
Yes, screens are available as an add-on and we handle them regularly alongside standard window cleaning.
