Window Washing at a 2-story house in Lake Forest on Beverly Place. 18 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Lake Forest properties along the older residential streets carry a particular kind of history in their glass — and this two-story home was no exception. The windows were original to the house, aged frames and all, the kind that show every season they've been through. The customer had asked for a full interior and exterior clean, which meant 18 windows, 15 screens, and 26 storm panels all needed attention, along with tracks and frames throughout. It was a thorough scope for a house that had clearly gone a while between cleanings.
The technician arrived at ten and quickly found the pace the job demanded. The old windows required careful handling — the glass and frames didn't respond the way modern units do, and getting a clean result without damage meant slowing down and working each pane deliberately. Heavy spider activity and bug debris had built up across the frames and in the tracks, so every surface needed a proper wipe-down before the squeegee could do its work. The oversized panes added to the time, particularly on the exterior pass. Screens went through a wash, the storm panels were cleaned individually, and tracks were vacuumed and wiped throughout. Eight hours from start to finish — the kind of day where the work speaks for itself.

Common questions from Lake Forest homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house in Lake Forest, a full interior and exterior window cleaning typically runs between $400 and $650, depending on window count, screens, and storm windows. This 18-window job with 15 screens and 26 storm windows came to $567, which is right in the middle of that range for a home of this size and complexity.
A job like this one — 18 windows inside and out, plus 15 screens and 26 storm windows — generally takes a crew 3 to 5 hours. Oversized windows and heavy bug and spider buildup, both present on this job, add time since each pane needs extra scrubbing before a clean finish is possible.
On an in-and-out job we clean both sides of every window, wipe down frames and sills, and wash all screens included in the service. Storm windows are removed, cleaned on both sides, and reinstalled — this house had 26 of them, so that work made up a significant portion of the visit.
Yes, second-story windows are a standard part of what we do, and we bring the ladders and extension tools needed to reach them safely. On this Lake Forest home the oversized upper-floor windows required extra care to squeegee cleanly without streaking, but every window was completed to the same standard as the ground-floor ones.
