Window Washing at a 2-story house in Oakwood Hills on Fawn Ridge Drive. 45 windows cleaned. Completed by our Barrington team.
— Barrington crew
Oakwood Hills sits in McHenry County lake country, where mature tree canopy means gutters fill fast and whatever accumulates up there eventually streaks down the glass below. That was exactly the situation at this two-story house — 45 exterior windows in need of a wash, but the gutters loaded with debris that would have undone the work before it was even finished.
The technician arrived at 8:30 and made the call immediately: clear the gutters first. Running a squeegee over 45 windows only to have gutter runoff streak them again on the first rain would have been a waste of everyone's time, so the gutters got cleaned out before a single pane was touched. With that done, the exterior window wash moved through the house at a steady pace — all 45 windows out only — and the full job wrapped in roughly two hours.

Common questions from Oakwood Hills homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story house with 45 windows, exterior-only cleaning in Oakwood Hills ran $180 on this project. Generally, exterior-only window washing for a similarly sized home in the Chicago suburbs falls in the $150–$250 range depending on window count and accessibility.
A 45-window exterior job on a 2-story home typically takes a crew about 2 to 3 hours. Factors like window style, screen removal, and second-floor access can nudge that time up or down slightly.
Exterior-only service covers washing and squeegee-finishing every accessible outside pane, wiping down frames and sills, and leaving glass streak-free. Interior surfaces, screens, and tracks are not part of this scope, which is why it's a faster and more affordable option for homeowners who just want the outside done.
Yes — second-story windows are a standard part of what we handle on 2-story homes, using water-fed poles and ladders as needed to reach upper panes without risk of damage to siding or trim. This Oakwood Hills job included upper-floor windows across the full exterior of the house. For a quote, call our Barrington team at (847) 715-9493.
