Window Washing at a 1-story house in Johnsburg on Heather Lane. 32 windows cleaned. Completed by our Round Lake team.
— Round Lake crew
Johnsburg sits in that quiet stretch of McHenry County lake country where the lots run generous and the landscaping tends to grow in thick over the years. This one-story house had thirty-two windows — a mix of double hungs and casements — and by the time we arrived, the exterior glass had collected a season's worth of grime that builds up when mature plantings crowd close to the foundation and cut down on airflow and direct sun.
We worked outside only, which kept the pace steady once we got our bearings around the property. The bushes and trees pressed tight to several windows, so reaching the glass cleanly meant moving branches aside and finding stable footing in narrow gaps — slower work, but not complicated once we settled into a rhythm. A few of the window wells ran deep, requiring more care to get the squeegee into the lower corners without rushing. We moved around the perimeter methodically, hitting each double hung and casement in turn, and had all thirty-two wrapped before the afternoon light shifted. Invoice followed the same day.
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 Johnsburg homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 32-window exterior job on a 1-story home in Johnsburg ran $250, which works out to roughly $7–$8 per window. For most single-story homes in the area, exterior-only window cleaning typically falls in the $175–$325 range depending on window count, type, and site conditions.
A 32-window exterior cleaning on a single-story home generally takes a crew two to three hours. On this job, overgrown bushes and trees near the windows and deep window wells added some time, since we had to work carefully around the landscaping to reach each pane cleanly.
On an out-only service like this one, we clean every exterior glass surface — including double hung and casement windows — removing dirt, water spots, and oxidation buildup. Frames and sills are wiped down as part of the process, but interior glass and screen washing are not included unless added on.
Yes — even on single-story homes, windows above dense shrubs or set into deep window wells can be tricky to access safely. On this Johnsburg job we encountered both, and we use extension tools and take the time to clear a safe working path rather than skip or rush those windows.
