Window Washing at a 1-story house in Palatine on Longacres Lane. 26 windows cleaned. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
Palatine sits in that belt of postwar subdivisions where the lots are generous and the ranch houses tend to collect a season's worth of grime on their lower-sash exteriors before anyone notices. This one-story home had 26 windows in need of exterior cleaning — a straightforward scope, but one that rewards methodical work on a ranch layout where every pane is at eye level and the results are immediately visible from the street and the yard.
Our crew moved window to window across the exterior, wiping frames and working each pane top to bottom with a squeegee. With no interior work on the ticket, the pace was efficient and uninterrupted — no moving furniture, no coordinating with anyone inside. Twenty-six windows exterior-only allows a crew to build a clean rhythm and hold it through the job. We finished the full perimeter, confirmed the count, and sent the invoice once we were clear of the property.

Common questions from Palatine homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 1-story home in Palatine, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $150 and $350 depending on the number of windows and accessibility. This 26-window job came in at $290, which is right in the middle of that range for a house this size. Most single-story homes in the area land somewhere in that window.
A 26-window exterior cleaning on a single-story home generally takes a crew about 1.5 to 2.5 hours from setup to finish. Single-story homes move quickly because there's no ladder repositioning or multi-level staging involved. You can usually expect the team to be in and out in a half-morning.
Exterior-only service covers the full outside surface of every window pane, including the glass, frames, and sills. On this Palatine job, all 26 windows were cleaned from the outside, removing dirt, water spots, and grime buildup. Interior glass and screens are not part of an out-only package but can be added when scheduling.
Most windows on a 1-story house are reachable without ladders, but any that sit above a garage or over a bump-out are handled with extension poles or a short ladder as needed. We don't skip windows just because they require a little extra reach — every pane on the job gets cleaned. For a quote, call our Arlington Heights team at (847) 807-1454.
