Window Washing at a 1-story house in River Grove on Budd Street. 16 windows cleaned. Completed by our Chicago team.
— Chicago crew
River Grove sits in that quiet band of older Chicago suburbs where the housing stock dates back decades and the windows often do too. This one-story house was carrying its age in the glazing — French-style sashes and double-hung units that had stiffened in their frames over the years, the kind that require patience and a careful hand before any cleaning can even begin.
Our technician arrived at eight in the morning, walked the property to assess the scope, and got to work. The 16 windows were cleaned inside and out, along with 14 screens run through a wash and 29 storm panels cleaned — a substantial count for a single-story home, reflecting how much glass the original construction packed in. The stiff sashes were the day's main challenge; opening and closing each one without forcing anything took deliberate effort throughout, but the work moved forward steadily. Every unit got proper attention before we closed it back up and moved on.

Common questions from River Grove homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 1-story home in River Grove, professional window washing typically runs $200–$500 depending on window count, screen cleaning, and whether storm windows are included. This particular 16-window job with 14 screens and 29 storm windows came to $453, which reflects the full interior and exterior scope.
A 1-story home with around 16 windows generally takes a crew 2–4 hours when cleaning both sides along with screens and storm windows. Jobs with French style and double hung windows require a bit more care around the divided panes and removable sashes, so the timeline accounts for that detail work.
On a full interior and exterior service like this one, we clean every pane inside and out, wipe down the frames and sills, wash all screens, and clean storm windows separately. This job covered 16 windows, 14 screens, and 29 storm windows across a mix of French style and double hung units.
Yes, screens are cleaned as part of the service — we remove them, wash both sides, and reinstall them before we leave. This house had 14 screens, all of which were cleaned alongside the storm windows and main window panes. For a quote, call our Chicago team at (773) 377-4600.
