Window Washing at a 2-story house in Gurnee on Atlantic Avenue. 22 windows cleaned. Completed by our Round Lake team.
— Round Lake crew
French-style windows in a two-story Gurnee home tend to collect more than their share of trouble — the divided lights trap grit along every muntin, and when construction work has happened nearby, the glass picks up a fine layer of compound and splatter that ordinary cleaning won't touch. That was the condition we found here: 22 windows carrying both post-construction residue and the cloudy mineral haze that hard water leaves behind when it dries on glass repeatedly. The job called for interior and exterior cleaning throughout the house.
We started with the windows that showed the heaviest buildup, working a scraper carefully across the panes to lift the construction deposits before any water touched the glass — rushing that step leaves streaks that are harder to deal with than the original mess. Hard water staining came next, treated with the appropriate remover and given time to work before we squeegeed off. The French-style divided lights meant methodical work on every section of the grid, inside and out. Fourteen screens came off, went through a wash, and dried before going back in. Tracks and frames got wiped down on every unit. By the time we wrapped, all 22 windows were clear and the screens were back in place. Invoice went to the customer the same day.

Timothy
Timothy may be our youngest technician, but don’t let that fool you. He’s experienced, professional, courteous, and already knows his way around the job like a seasoned pro. He’s also a promising DJ, so there’s a good chance he can fix the problem and recommend a solid playlist while he’s at it. Everyone loves Timothy because he’s easy to talk to, always upbeat, and genuinely enjoys meeting people. He also has a strange love for Wisconsin, which we still haven’t fully figured out - but nobody’s perfect.

Common questions from Gurnee homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 22-window job on a 2-story house in Gurnee ran $325, which is right in line with typical pricing for the area. Most single-family homes in the Chicago North Shore suburbs fall somewhere between $200 and $450 depending on window count, access difficulty, and whether interior cleaning is included.
A job this size — 22 windows cleaned inside and out, plus 14 screens — generally takes a crew around 3 to 4 hours. This particular project added some time due to post-construction scraping and hard water stain removal, both of which require careful hand work before standard cleaning can begin.
On this job we cleaned all 22 French-style windows from both the interior and exterior, and serviced 14 screens. Interior and exterior cleaning means every pane gets washed, squeegeed, and detailed at the edges, and screens are removed, rinsed, and reinstalled.
We handle second-story windows using extension equipment and ladders as needed — height is a routine part of any 2-story job. Hard water stains require a separate treatment step using specialized mineral deposit removers before the glass can be properly cleaned, which is exactly what we did here alongside post-construction scraping to get the glass clear.
