Window Washing at a 2-story house in McHenry on North Green Street. 74 windows cleaned. Completed by our Round Lake team.
— Round Lake crew
French windows have a way of multiplying the workload — each divided pane demands its own edge work, and this two-story house in McHenry had 44 of them across the exterior. The home sat in the kind of settled residential neighborhood common to this part of McHenry County, where mature trees and seasonal grit leave their mark on glass by the time spring rolls around. The customer needed exterior-only service, which kept the scope clean and the day predictable.
Our technician was on-site at eight in the morning and worked straight through the French-style casements methodically, moving pane by pane across each divided-light unit to make sure the muntins and edges got the same attention as the glass field itself. With 44 windows and all that grid work, the pace had to stay steady and deliberate rather than fast. Four hours later the job was done — all 74 windows cleaned, no interior disruption to the household, and the exterior glass clear of the season's accumulated film before midday.

Common questions from McHenry homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house with 74 French-style windows cleaned on the exterior, this McHenry job came out to $444, which works out to about $6 per window. In the broader McHenry County area, exterior-only window cleaning on a home of this size typically runs between $350 and $550 depending on window count, type, and accessibility.
A job with 74 windows on a 2-story home generally takes a crew 3 to 5 hours to complete when working exterior-only. French-style windows have more pane divisions than standard windows, so they require a bit more detail work and can add time compared to a simpler grid layout.
Exterior-only service covers washing and squeegee-finishing every accessible outside pane, wiping down frames and sills, and removing dirt, water spots, and oxidation buildup. For French-style windows, each individual divided pane gets cleaned separately to make sure no sections are missed.
Yes, second-story windows are a standard part of what we do — we use extension poles and ladders as needed to reach upper-floor glass safely and thoroughly. On this McHenry project, all 74 windows across both stories were cleaned exterior-only without issue. For a quote, call our Round Lake team at (847) 807-1455.
