Window Washing at a 2-story house in Evanston on Poplar Avenue. 28 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
Evanston houses see a particular kind of buildup — lake-effect moisture cycling through fall and winter leaves a mineral film on glass that ordinary grime sits on top of, and this two-story double hung job showed both layers clearly when we arrived. Twenty-eight windows, exterior only, and the condition on the ground floor alone told us it had been a while since they'd had a proper clean. We were on site earlier than the customer expected, which gave us a little extra runway for what turned out to be a heavier day than the square footage suggested.
The steel wool came out early and stayed out — we worked through roughly half a pack cutting through the hardened deposits before the squeegee could do its job cleanly. Double hungs are forgiving in terms of access, but that mineral bond takes patience on each lite. Alongside the 28 windows we washed all 13 screens, running them through a scrub-and-rinse before reinstalling them. The extra time the early arrival gave us kept the job on schedule, and we left the site once every screen was back in its frame and the sills were wiped down.

Common questions from Evanston homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house in Evanston, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $150 and $300 depending on window count and accessibility. This 28-window job came in at $210, which is right in the middle of that range for a home of this size. Pricing can shift slightly if screens need cleaning or if upper-floor windows require ladder work.
A 28-window exterior clean on a 2-story home generally takes a crew about 2 to 3 hours from setup to finish. Factors like screen removal, window condition, and second-floor ladder access affect the timeline, but most jobs like this one wrap up in a single visit without disrupting your day.
On an exterior-only job, we clean the outside glass on all specified windows — in this case, 28 double-hung windows — removing dirt, water spots, and grime using professional squeegee technique. We also cleaned 13 screens on this project, which were removed, rinsed, and reinstalled. Interior glass is not touched on an out-only service, which keeps the visit faster and the price lower.
Yes, screens can be added to any window washing appointment. On this job we cleaned 13 screens — each one was taken out, washed down, and put back before we left. Screen cleaning is priced as an add-on and is worth doing at the same time since dirty screens quickly re-soil freshly cleaned glass. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
