Window Washing at a 2-story house in Lake Forest on Harlan Court. 25 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Lake Forest houses sit under a heavy tree canopy, and by late in the season that canopy delivers its share of insects. This two-story home was no exception — spiders had worked the corners of nearly every frame, and bug debris had built up along the tracks and sills in the way it does when a house goes a few months between cleanings. The job called for exterior-only service on 25 windows, with 13 screens included.
Our technician arrived at eight, walked the property to size up the work, and got started without delay. The bug and spider presence meant extra attention to frames and tracks before the glass could be properly addressed — wiping down each frame, clearing the debris, then squeegee work on the panes. All 13 screens went through a wash as well. The whole job wrapped up in three and a half hours, a steady pace that accounted for the extra prep each window required.
