Window Washing at a 2-story house in Elmhurst on South Hawthorne Avenue. 48 windows cleaned. Completed by our Clarendon Hills team.
— Clarendon Hills crew
Elmhurst sits far enough inland that you don't get lake grit, but the mature tree canopy along its residential streets has a way of trapping insects and spiders against glass through the warmer months. By the time our crew arrived at this two-story house at one in the afternoon, the windows showed it — heavy buildup across all forty-eight panes, with webs and bug casings worked into the corners of frames and sills. The two skylights had collected their own layer of debris sitting flat against the roof.
We wrote the estimate on arrival and moved straight into the work. Both interior and exterior surfaces needed attention, so the rhythm was methodical: clear the bugs and webbing from each frame first, then work the glass. The skylights required extra care to get the accumulated grime off without leaving streaks on surfaces that catch direct overhead light. Forty-eight windows and two skylights across a full in-and-out clean took four and a half hours. The difference between the first pane we touched and the last was visible in the afternoon light without anyone having to look for it.

Common questions from Elmhurst homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 48-window job on a 2-story Elmhurst home came in at $400, which included interior and exterior cleaning plus 2 skylights. For similarly sized homes in the area, expect to pay somewhere between $300 and $500 depending on window count, accessibility, and add-ons like skylights or storm windows.
A job this size — 48 windows cleaned inside and out on a 2-story home — typically runs 3 to 5 hours with a trained crew. Factors like heavy bug and spider buildup, which we dealt with on this particular house, can add time since screens and frames need extra attention before the glass gets touched.
On this job we cleaned both sides of all 48 windows, wiped down frames and sills, and handled 2 skylights as part of the service. Interior and exterior cleaning gives you a streak-free result on every pane rather than just the curb-appeal side, which makes a noticeable difference in natural light inside the home.
Yes — screens are removed, rinsed, and reseated as part of the process, which is especially important on a job like this one where heavy spider and insect activity had built up on the frames and mesh. Skipping the screens would just mean bugs and debris transferring back onto the clean glass the first time a window is opened. For a quote, call our Clarendon Hills team at (708) 332-0096.
