Window Washing at a 2-story house in Wilmette on Greenwood Avenue. 47 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Wilmette's older residential streets hold onto summer in their own way — the tree canopy stays dense well into the season, and the soffits and window frames of two-story homes like this one collect insects and webbing in the sheltered corners that don't see much wind. The homeowner needed the exterior glass cleaned across a full 47-window house, French-style divided lights throughout, and the job had been building up long enough that bugs and spiders had made themselves at home along the frames and sills.
Our technician was on site at eight in the morning, walked the property to assess the scope, and got straight to work. The French-style windows required careful attention to the muntin grid on each sash — debris and spider activity concentrated in those divided sections more than on flat glass, so each pane got individual treatment rather than a broad pass. Despite the scale of the job and the extra time the bug and webbing cleanup added to each window, the full 47 were finished in four hours. Invoice was sent the same day.

Common questions from Wilmette homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a two-story home in Wilmette, exterior-only window washing typically runs between $250 and $450 depending on window count and style. This 47-window job with French-style windows came in at $369, which is a solid benchmark for a house of that size. French-style windows take a bit more time than standard panes because of the extra dividers and sills involved.
A two-story home with around 47 windows generally takes a crew two to four hours to complete. French-style windows add some time since each divided pane needs individual attention to avoid streaking along the muntins. Factoring in the heavy bug and spider buildup on this particular job, the team worked methodically to clear the debris before washing.
Exterior-only service covers washing and squeegee-finishing every outside window surface, including frames and sills wiped down after cleaning. On this job that meant working through 47 French-style windows across two stories, removing significant insect and spider residue before the actual wash. Screens are not removed or cleaned as part of an exterior-only visit.
Yes, second-story windows are a standard part of what we do — ladders and the right extension tools are brought on every two-story job.
