Window Washing at a 2-story house in Highland Park on Clavey Road. 80 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
Eighty windows on a two-story Highland Park house is a full day by any measure, and this one started with a clear inventory of what was ahead: two dozen of those windows were oversized, the kind of wide, tall glass that takes extra time to work properly and doesn't forgive a rushed squeegee pull. The home sits in a part of town where mature trees and older landscaping are the norm, and by late season the combination of shade, humidity, and sheltered corners gives spiders plenty of reason to settle in along frames and sills.
Our technician was on site at eight in the morning and worked the exterior straight through. The oversized panes required careful technique — keeping the tool loaded evenly across the full width of the glass without losing the edge before the stroke was complete. Beyond the glass itself, spider webbing had built up around a number of frames and in the recessed corners where the siding meets the trim, so clearing that out was part of the work on each window before the washing began. Bugs were present throughout, the kind of accumulation that collects through a warm stretch and sticks to the lower corners of the glass. Working methodically through all eighty windows exterior-only, the job was completed and invoiced the same day.

Common questions from Highland Park homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a two-story house in Highland Park, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $300 and $500 depending on window count and accessibility. This 80-window job came in at $460, which is right in line with what homeowners in the area can expect for a larger home. Oversized windows and extra cleaning time for heavy bug and spider buildup can push a job toward the higher end of that range.
A job with 80 windows on a two-story home generally takes a crew most of a half day to complete properly. On this Highland Park project, oversized windows required more time per pane to squeegee cleanly, so crews factor in that kind of variation when scheduling. Expect roughly 3 to 5 hours for a house of this size.
Exterior-only service covers the full outer surface of every window, including removing dirt, grime, water spots, and in this case a heavy layer of bugs and spider webs that had built up on the frames and glass. Screens are moved aside as needed to reach the glass, but interior surfaces are not cleaned under this service type. It's a popular choice for homeowners who want a fast, thorough refresh without the need to coordinate interior access.
Yes, second-story and oversized windows are a standard part of what we handle on two-story houses. This job included large picture-style windows on the upper level that required careful technique and the right tools to squeegee without streaking. We come equipped for elevated work on every job so nothing gets skipped. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
