Window Washing at a 2-story house in Lake Forest on Tall Grass Lane. 63 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
French-style windows are common in the older, more formal homes that line Lake Forest's quieter residential streets, and this two-story house had them throughout — every one of the 63 openings divided by a muntin grid that demands more care than a single-pane run. The exterior-only scope still added up to a full morning's work given the window count and the style involved.
The technician arrived at eight and moved through the house methodically, adjusting the pace to account for what French-style frames require: working around the divided lights rather than across them, keeping each section clean before moving to the next. Corners accumulate grime differently with a grid in place, and cutting corners on that detail shows. Four hours start to finish, exterior faces done across both stories, invoice sent once the work was wrapped.

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 $450 depending on window count and style. This 63-window French-style job came in at $409, which is right in line with what homeowners in the area can expect for a larger home.
A two-story home with a high window count like this one generally takes a crew two to four hours to complete. French-style windows have more panes and muntins to work around, so they take a bit longer per unit than standard single-pane windows.
Exterior-only service covers the full outside surface of every window, including the glass, frames, and sills. On French-style windows, we clean each individual pane and the dividing grilles so the finished look is consistent across the whole window rather than just the outer glass.
Yes, second-story windows are a standard part of what we do on two-story homes, and this Lake Forest job included upper-floor French windows cleaned from the exterior. We use the appropriate ladders and extension equipment to reach every window safely without cutting corners on the upper level. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
