Window Washing at a 2-story house in Glenview on Highland Terrace. 68 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Sixty-eight windows on a two-story Glenview house is a solid day's work on its own, but the four skylights added a different kind of challenge. By the time our crew arrived at 12:30 in the afternoon, it was clear the skylights had been accumulating grime for a while — the kind of layered buildup that comes from sitting flat or near-flat through season after season of rain, pollen, and whatever the wind carries off the surrounding rooftops. The rest of the exterior glass had its share of road dust and oxidation, typical for a home this size along the North Shore corridor.
We worked the exterior only, moving through all 68 windows methodically — frame wipes, squeegee runs, edge detailing on each one. The skylights got the most attention. Getting them clean required deliberate work at the right angle, letting the solution dwell and cutting through the buildup pass by pass. The difference in light transmission once they were done was significant enough that you could see it clearly from below. We finished the full exterior clean in one session, left the property tidy, and the invoice went out the same day.

Common questions from Glenview homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a two-story house in Glenview, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $200 and $350 depending on window count and accessibility. This 68-window job, including 4 skylights, came in at $280 — a solid benchmark for a home of this size in the area.
A crew working a two-story home with 68 windows and 4 skylights generally wraps up in 3 to 5 hours. Exterior-only work moves faster than interior-exterior jobs since there's no furniture to work around or screens to pull.
Exterior-only service covers every accessible outside glass surface — including second-floor windows reached by ladder and any skylights on the roof. On this project that meant all 68 panes plus 4 skylights cleaned and left streak-free, with no interior work or screen removal involved.
Yes, second-floor windows and rooftop skylights are a standard part of what we handle on two-story homes. We use ladders and appropriate tools to reach elevated glass safely, as we did with the 4 skylights on this Glenview project. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
