Window Washing at a 1-story house in Palatine on East Michele Drive. 17 windows cleaned. Completed by our Arlington Heights team.
Palatine sits far enough from the lake that it doesn't catch the same grit-laden air as the North Shore communities, but a single-story ranch in a mature subdivision still accumulates plenty — pollen settling through the canopy in spring, road dust drifting in from the surrounding arterials, the slow film that builds on glass through an ordinary season. This home had seventeen windows that needed attention on the exterior, and we were there to work through them.
We moved around the perimeter methodically, exterior only, giving each pane a proper clean from frame edge to frame edge. Single-story work keeps the pace steady — no repositioning ladders between floors, no shifting between inside and outside passes — so the crew could settle into a rhythm and hold it across all seventeen windows. The job wrapped cleanly, and the invoice followed shortly after.

Common questions from Palatine homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 17-window exterior cleaning on a 1-story home in Palatine came out to $120, which is right in line with typical pricing for single-story houses in the area. For most 1-story homes in the Chicago suburbs, exterior-only window cleaning generally runs between $100 and $180 depending on window count and accessibility.
A job like this — 17 windows on a single-story home — typically wraps up in under two hours for an experienced crew. Exterior-only work moves faster since there's no furniture to work around or interior sills to dry.
Exterior-only service covers the full outer glass surface of each window, including the frame edges and sills where grime tends to collect. This Palatine job was cleaned out only, meaning the inside glass and interior sills were not part of the scope — a common choice for homeowners who want a quick refresh without scheduling an interior walkthrough.
On single-story homes, most windows are reachable from ground level or with a short ladder, so access is rarely an issue. We bring the right tools to handle any window placement on a 1-story property without cutting corners on the edges or upper pane. For a quote, call our Arlington Heights team at (847) 807-1454.
