Window Washing at a 2-story house in Lake Forest on Bowling Green Drive. 58 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Lake Forest sits far enough north that the mature canopy over most neighborhoods holds moisture well into spring, and by the time homeowners start thinking about glass, the oak pollen and winter grit have already done their work. This two-story home came to us needing exterior-only cleaning on 58 windows, a count that reflects the kind of generously windowed construction common to the older residential streets in this part of the North Shore.
The windows were French style throughout, which means divided lights and muntin grids rather than single-pane expanses — more edges to work, more detail in the wipe-down, more time per unit to do it right. We moved systematically across both floors, cleaning each pane of the divided-light frames individually, keeping the grids clear of streaking and the surrounding trim free of water marks. Exterior-only work has its own rhythm: no shuffling indoors between rooms, just a steady push around the building from one elevation to the next. The 58 windows were completed cleanly, invoice sent to the customer when the job was done.
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 Lake Forest homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a two-story home in Lake Forest, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $200 and $400 depending on window count and style. This 58-window job on a two-story house with French-style windows came in at $349, which is right in the middle of that range for a home this size.
A job with 58 windows on a two-story home generally takes a crew two to four hours to complete. French-style windows have more panes and dividers than standard windows, so they take a bit more time per unit to clean thoroughly.
Exterior-only service covers cleaning every accessible outside pane, removing dirt, water spots, and grime from the glass, and wiping down the frames and sills as we work. On this project we cleaned all 58 exterior-facing windows, including the multi-pane French-style units, without entering the home.
Screen cleaning is not part of a standard exterior-only wash, but it can be added on request when we're already on site. If your screens are heavily soiled, having them cleaned at the same visit saves a return trip and keeps the finished look consistent. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
