Window Washing at a 2-story house in Lake Forest on West Fork Drive. 16 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Lake Forest houses sit on generous lots, and this two-story was no exception — the kind of property where the glass collects a quiet layer of grime before anyone quite notices it needs attention. The customer wanted exterior-only service, which is a common call in this part of the North Shore where interior disruption is something people prefer to avoid. Sixteen windows and a single skylight made up the full scope of the work.
Our technician arrived at 11:30 in the morning, walked the property, sized up the job, and got straight to it. Sixteen exterior window faces plus the skylight came in at just under an hour — fifty minutes from first squeegee to final wipe-down. Working exterior-only kept the rhythm clean and uninterrupted, no moving furniture or coordinating room by room, just a steady pass around the house and up to the skylight. Invoice followed once the job was done.

Common questions from Lake Forest homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house in Lake Forest, exterior-only window cleaning typically runs $130–$220 depending on window count and accessibility. This 16-window job, including one skylight, came out to $145. Homes with more windows, hard-to-reach upper floors, or interior cleaning added will land toward the higher end of that range.
A 16-window exterior job like this one generally takes a single technician around 1.5 to 2 hours. Two-story homes add a bit of time for ladder setup and safe positioning on upper windows, but the work moves efficiently when it's exterior only.
On an exterior-only job, we clean all outdoor glass surfaces, including upper-floor windows reached by ladder and any skylights on the roof. This project covered 16 windows plus one skylight, all done from the outside. Screens and interior glass are not part of exterior-only service, but can be added when scheduling.
Yes, upper-floor windows and rooftop skylights are a standard part of what we handle on 2-story houses. This job included one skylight along with the second-floor windows, all reached safely with the right ladder equipment. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
