Window Washing at a 2-story house in Riverwoods on Vernon Trail. 83 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Riverwoods sits in a quiet corridor of wooded lots between Deerfield and Lincolnshire, and the homes here tend to be surrounded by mature landscaping that closes in tight against the foundation. This two-story house was no exception — dense shrubs and overhanging branches pressed up close along several elevations, and the French-style windows throughout the home had picked up a season's worth of debris from that canopy: fine pollen film, caught spiderwebs in the divided-light grilles, and the general haze that builds when glass spends months in filtered shade.
With 83 windows to cover on the exterior only, we moved methodically around the house, working each elevation in sequence. The French-style sashes and their muntin grids required care with the squeegee angle to pull cleanly through each divided pane without streaking the narrow bars. Where shrubs and low branches crowded the approach, we worked around them steadily — repositioning to get the right stance without rushing or cutting corners on the frames. It was a full day's work done at a consistent pace, and the invoice went out when the last window was finished and the tools were loaded.
Crew on this job
Timothy
Timothy may be our youngest technician, but don’t let that fool you. He’s experienced, professional, courteous, and already knows his way around the job like a seasoned pro. He’s also a promising DJ, so there’s a good chance he can fix the problem and recommend a solid playlist while he’s at it. Everyone loves Timothy because he’s easy to talk to, always upbeat, and genuinely enjoys meeting people. He also has a strange love for Wisconsin, which we still haven’t fully figured out - but nobody’s perfect.

Common questions from Riverwoods homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 83-window exterior cleaning on a 2-story home in Riverwoods came to $498, which works out to roughly $6 per window. For most large 2-story houses in the area, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $350 and $600 depending on window count, style, and site conditions.
A job this size generally takes a crew about half a day — usually in the range of 3 to 5 hours. French-style windows have more pane divisions and take a bit longer per unit than standard single-pane windows, so the technicians account for that when scheduling.
On this job, the service covered all 83 exterior window surfaces, including the individual panes on the French-style windows throughout the home. Exterior-only means frames, sills, and glass are cleaned from the outside — interior glass and screens are not part of this scope.
Yes — overgrown landscaping is one of the more common obstacles on 2-story homes, and the crew handled exactly that on this Riverwoods property. Technicians work carefully around shrubs and tree branches to reach every window without damaging plantings or leaving any panes skipped. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
