Window Washing at a 2-story house in Downers Grove on Grand Avenue. 56 windows cleaned. Completed by our Lisle team.
Six skylights on a two-story in Downers Grove told the whole story before we touched a single vertical pane. Each one had accumulated years of layered buildup — the kind of oxidized grime and hard-water residue that standard scrubbing barely dents. The rest of the home's 56 exterior windows were on the docket as well, an out-only clean on a house that sits in one of those quieter DuPage County neighborhoods where mature canopies and all-season weather do their slow work on glass.
We ran the skylights first, using steel wool where the buildup demanded it — a controlled pass that cuts through what softer tools leave behind without marking the glass. Once those were clear, the crew moved through the remaining windows methodically, working the frames and glass face by face across both stories. Fifty-six windows out-only keeps the pace steady when the work is organized. Invoice sent when we wrapped, same day.

Common questions from Downers Grove homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 56-window job in Downers Grove ran $366, which works out to roughly $6.50 per window including 6 skylights cleaned exterior only. For a 2-story home in the area, most exterior-only jobs fall somewhere between $200 and $450 depending on window count, accessibility, and any specialty glass like skylights.
A job this size — 56 windows plus 6 skylights on a 2-story home — typically runs 3 to 5 hours with a professional crew. Exterior-only work moves faster than inside-and-out since there's no furniture to work around and no interior drying time.
Exterior-only service covers washing and squeegee-finishing every accessible outside pane, including upper-story windows reached by ladder and specialty glass like skylights, as was done on this project. Frames and sills get wiped down as part of the process, but interior glass and screen cleaning are not included unless added on.
Yes — ladder work on 2-story homes is standard, and skylights are cleaned as part of the job when included, as they were here with all 6 skylights washed on the exterior. Proper equipment and technique matter on pitched or elevated glass to avoid streaks and to work safely. For a quote, call our Lisle team at (630) 425-0678.
