Window Washing at a 2-story house in Palatine on Sellstrom Drive. 42 windows cleaned. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
— Arlington Heights crew
Palatine's older subdivisions sit far enough from the lake that you don't get the salt-carried grit of the North Shore, but two-story homes here still accumulate a season's worth of dust, pollen, and road film by the time summer settles in. This particular house came with 42 windows spread across both floors, a mix that included some notably oversized units — the kind of glass that demands extra care in both reach and squeegee control to pull clean without streaking.
We worked the job inside and out, tackling the larger windows methodically, keeping consistent pressure across the full pane rather than rushing a single pass. Every track and frame got wiped down along the way — not an afterthought, but part of the rhythm of each window. The oversized units slowed the pace slightly, as they should; there's no shortcut to moving a squeegee cleanly across that much glass. By the time we finished the last interior sill and gathered the gear, all 42 windows were done, frames and tracks included, and the invoice went out the same day.

Common questions from Palatine homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 42-window job on a 2-story home in Palatine ran $450, which is right in line with typical pricing for a house that size. In the Chicago northwest suburbs, full interior and exterior window cleaning on a 2-story home generally falls between $300 and $550 depending on window count, size, and accessibility.
A job this size — 42 windows, inside and out — typically takes a crew around 3 to 5 hours to complete properly. This particular home had oversized windows that required extra time and careful handling, so crews factor that in rather than rushing through panes that are harder to maneuver around.
On an in-and-out job like this one, we clean both the interior glass and exterior glass of every window included in the service. That means wiping down frames and sills as we go, removing water spots and grime from both sides, and leaving each pane streak-free.
Yes — this Palatine job specifically involved oversized windows, which we handled using the right tools and technique to get a clean, even result without streaking across large glass surfaces. For upper-floor windows on 2-story homes, we use extension equipment that lets us clean safely from the ground or ladder as the situation requires.
