Window Washing at a 2-story house in Highland Park on Braeburn Road. 47 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Highland Park houses that sit under a mature tree canopy collect more than their share of summer insects, and this two-story on the North Shore was no exception. By the time our crew arrived, the 47 double-hung windows had accumulated a solid season's worth of bug debris — spiders had staked out corners, and the larger panes showed the kind of streaked residue that builds up when nothing's been touched in a while. The home's scale made it a substantial day's work from the start.
We ran exterior-only on all 47 windows, working methodically through each double-hung unit. The oversized panes required deliberate technique — larger glass holds more water and punishes any skip in squeegee pressure, so we kept our passes slow and overlapping. Spider nests and dried insect matter came off with a good scrub before the squeegee touched the glass. We moved around the building, tracking the sun to avoid cleaning into direct glare where we could, and stayed consistent through both stories until every pane was clear. Invoice sent once the last window was finished.
Crew on this job
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 Highland Park homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house in Highland Park, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $200 and $350 depending on window count and condition. This 47-window job came in at $250, which is right in the middle of that range for a home this size. Oversized windows and heavy bug buildup can nudge the price toward the higher end.
A 47-window exterior wash on a 2-story home generally takes a crew 3 to 5 hours. Oversized double hung windows and heavy spider activity on this job added some time, since each pane needed extra attention before a clean finish was possible.
Exterior-only service covers the outside surface of every window on the home — in this case all 47 double hung windows across two stories. We remove bug residue, spider webs, and general grime from the glass and wipe down the frames as part of the process. Interior glass and screen cleaning are not part of this package but can be added separately.
Yes — second-story windows are a standard part of what we do, and we bring the right ladders and extension tools to reach them without cutting corners. On this Highland Park job, several oversized upper-floor windows required extra setup time to clean thoroughly and safely. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
