Window Washing at a 2-story house in Lake Forest on Tisbury Lane. 53 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
Lake Forest homes along the North Shore carry a particular kind of buildup — oak canopy overhead, dense foundation plantings pushing right up against the siding, and a full season's worth of spiders and insects working their way into every frame and track. This two-story house had all of it. Fifty-three windows spread across both levels, most of them with screens, and the kind of neglected tracks that accumulate grime in layers rather than dust.
Our technician arrived at eight in the morning and got straight to work on the exterior. Forty-two screens came off, washed down, and set aside before the glass could be touched — a step the overgrown shrubs and low tree branches made slower than usual, requiring careful maneuvering to get clean angles on each pane. The tracks and frames were in rough shape, packed with debris and spider webbing that had to be wiped out before a squeegee ever touched the glass. The work ran six hours in total. When it was done, the invoice went out and the day closed clean.

Common questions from Lake Forest homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house in Lake Forest, exterior-only window cleaning typically runs between $300 and $600 depending on window count and site conditions. This 53-window job came in at $515, which reflects the extra time needed to work around dense bushes and trees along the house. Screen cleaning was included for 42 screens as part of the service.
A job this size — 53 exterior windows plus 42 screens on a 2-story home — generally takes a crew most of a half-day. Heavy bug and spider buildup, along with landscaping close to the glass, adds time since each window needs extra attention before the actual wash.
Exterior-only service covers the outside surface of every window on the home, and screens are cleaned and reinstalled when they're part of the job, as they were here with all 42 screens. We remove debris, spider webs, and bug residue before washing so the squeegee pulls clean across the glass rather than dragging grit.
Yes — we work around shrubs, hedges, and overhanging branches as a normal part of the job. On this Lake Forest house, several windows sat directly behind mature bushes, so we carefully maneuvered to reach the glass without damaging the landscaping. It slows things down slightly, but every window still gets fully cleaned. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
