Window Washing at a 1-story house in Des Plaines on Cordial Drive. 26 windows cleaned. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
— Arlington Heights crew
Dust had settled into every interior surface of this single-story Des Plaines home — the kind of fine, uniform accumulation that builds quietly over time and becomes most visible the moment light hits the glass at the right angle. The owner wanted a full in-and-out clean on all 26 windows, a job that was straightforward in scope but called for careful attention on the inside where the buildup was heaviest.
Our crew started with the interior, wiping down frames and sills before running the squeegee across each pane to lift the dust film that had bonded to the glass. Eight screens came out, got washed, and were set aside to dry while we moved through the rooms. Once the interiors were done, we shifted outside to finish the exterior faces, leaving each window clear from both directions. Invoice went out the same day the work wrapped.

Common questions from Des Plaines homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 26-window job on a 1-story home in Des Plaines came out to $240, which is right in the typical range for a house this size. Most single-story homes in the Chicago suburbs run between $180 and $320 for a full interior and exterior cleaning, depending on window count and condition.
A 26-window, single-story home like this one generally takes a crew two to three hours from setup to finish. Factors like screen cleaning and interior access can add a bit of time, but single-story properties move quickly since there's no ladder staging for upper floors.
On this project we cleaned all 26 windows inside and out, and scrubbed 8 screens as part of the service. Interior and exterior cleaning covers the glass, frames, and sills, so everything gets wiped down — not just the glass surface.
Yes, screens are cleaned as part of the job when requested. On this Des Plaines house we washed 8 screens alongside the full interior and exterior window cleaning, removing built-up dust and grime before reinstalling them. For a quote, call our Arlington Heights team at (847) 807-1454.
