Window Washing at a 1-story house in Northbrook on Catherine Street. 36 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
Northbrook's older ranch neighborhoods sit under a heavy canopy of mature trees, and by late spring the glass on a one-story home can carry a full season's worth of resin, pollen, and settled grit. That was the condition we found at this property on arrival — 36 windows across the first floor, all exterior only, with 9 French-style units whose divided-light muntins had collected enough buildup to warrant scraping rather than a straight squeegee pass.
We were on-site at 8 a.m. and worked through the house methodically: scraping the glass where adhesion demanded it, wiping down all frames and tracks, then washing the 16 screens before setting them back in place. The French windows got the extra attention their grids require — each pane section cleaned and edged individually. Five doors were included in the scope as well. The work moved cleanly from one end of the house to the other, and we were loaded and gone by 10:30 a.m. Invoice was sent the same morning.

Common questions from Northbrook homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 36-window exterior cleaning on a one-story Northbrook home came to $512, which works out to roughly $14 per window. For most single-story houses in the Northbrook area, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $150 and $550 depending on window count, type, and add-ons like screen cleaning.
A job this size — 36 French-style windows cleaned on the exterior — generally takes a crew two to three hours from setup to finish. Single-story homes move faster than multi-story jobs because there's no ladder repositioning or lift equipment involved.
On an out-only job like this one, we clean every exterior glass surface, wipe down the frames and sills, and remove water spots and grime buildup. This project also included 16 screens, which we remove, rinse, scrub, and reinstall so they don't streak the freshly cleaned glass.
Screen cleaning is available as an add-on and is priced per screen — this job included 16 screens alongside the 36-window exterior wash. We hand-scrub each screen rather than just rinsing it, which makes a noticeable difference on French-style windows where dirty screens sit close to the divided panes.
