Window Washing at a 2-story house in Palatine on California Avenue. 68 windows cleaned. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
Sixty-eight windows on a two-story Palatine house is a solid day's work, and the condition we found on arrival made it a bit more demanding than the count alone suggests. Hard water deposits had built up across a number of panes — the kind of mineral film that regular rain doesn't rinse away and that a standard squeegee pass won't touch. This part of the northwest suburbs sits far enough from the lake that the usual grit patterns are different, but hard water is its own persistent problem wherever sprinkler systems and mineral-heavy runoff have had time to work on glass.
Our technician arrived at eleven and moved through the exterior systematically, addressing the hard water staining directly before running the squeegee. Where the deposits had bonded to the glass, he worked them loose with the appropriate treatment, then finished each pane clean. Three hours to cover all sixty-eight windows outside — a steady pace that kept the job on schedule without cutting corners on the problem surfaces. Invoice was sent the same day once the work was wrapped.

Common questions from Palatine homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 68-window exterior job on a two-story house in Palatine ran $220, which works out to well under $4 per window. For most single- and two-story homes in the Palatine area, exterior-only window cleaning typically falls between $150 and $350 depending on window count and accessibility.
A two-story home with 68 windows is on the larger end, but an experienced crew working exterior-only can generally finish a job this size in roughly 2 to 4 hours. Hard water stain removal, which was needed here, adds some time since those mineral deposits require extra treatment beyond a standard wash.
On an out-only job like this one, we clean every exterior glass surface — removing dirt, grime, oxidation, and hard water deposits — and leave the frames wiped down. Interior surfaces, screens, and tracks are not part of the scope, which keeps the job faster and the price lower for homeowners who primarily want curb-appeal results.
Yes, second-story windows are standard for us and were included across all 68 panes on this Palatine home. We use extension tools and ladders as needed to reach upper-floor glass safely without requiring scaffolding or lifts on typical residential jobs.
