Window Washing at a 2-story house in Fox Lake Hills on Shore Drive. 50 windows cleaned. Completed by our Round Lake team.
Fox Lake Hills sits in that cluster of lake communities north of Lindenhurst where hard water is a fact of life, and this two-story house showed it clearly. The windows had accumulated mineral deposits that went beyond ordinary road grime — the kind of buildup that comes from sprinkler overspray or repeated wet-dry cycles on glass that doesn't get cleaned often. Fifty windows inside and out, four screens in need of washing, and enough hard water staining to know from the start that a single pass wouldn't be enough on everything.
We arrived at noon and began working through the house systematically, interior and exterior both. Several windows had mineral deposits stubborn enough that we ran a second pass to cut through them fully rather than leave anything behind. The four screens got washed and set aside to dry before going back in. The work took four and a half hours from start to finish — longer than a straightforward job of this size, but the extra time on those problem panes was what the glass needed to come out right.

Common questions from Fox Lake Hills homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house with 50 windows cleaned inside and out, this project ran $340 — a solid benchmark for similarly sized homes in the Fox Lake Hills area. Most 2-story homes in the Chicago suburbs fall in the $250–$450 range depending on window count, accessibility, and whether screens are included.
A job this size — 50 windows cleaned inside and out on a 2-story home — typically takes a crew around 3 to 5 hours from start to finish. Factors like hard water buildup, screen removal, and upper-floor access can add time, but our team works efficiently to keep the day as short as possible.
On this project we cleaned all 50 windows on both the inside and outside surfaces, plus removed, cleaned, and reinstalled 4 screens. Interior cleaning includes wiping down sills and frames, while exterior work covers scrubbing off grime, oxidation, and any buildup that's collected on the glass.
Yes — upper-floor windows are a standard part of what we do on 2-story homes, and this job included them in the full 50-window count. We use water-fed poles and ladders as needed to reach second-story glass safely without cutting corners on quality. For a quote, call our Round Lake team at (847) 807-1455.
