Window Washing at a 2-story house in Wilmette on Lake Avenue. 55 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Wilmette's older residential streets carry a certain density of mature landscaping and established homes, and this two-story house fit the neighborhood well. The owners had recently come through construction work on the property, which left the glass in rougher shape than a standard seasonal clean would call for — adhesive residue and fine debris bonded to several panes, the kind of buildup that requires a razor before the squeegee can do its job. With 55 windows spanning two floors, plus screens and storm panels to account for, the scope was full and deliberate.
Our technician arrived at nine in the morning and worked steadily through both floors, handling interior and exterior glass on all 55 windows, wiping down tracks and frames as he moved through each room. The 25 screens went through a full wash, and the 8 storm windows were cleaned separately — those panels require their own handling and add time to the count. Where construction residue had bonded to the glass, he scraped before squeegeeing to avoid dragging grit across the surface. The job ran six hours start to finish, a pace that reflects the care the condition of the glass required.

Common questions from Wilmette homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 55-window job in Wilmette ran $806, which included interior and exterior cleaning, 25 screens, and 8 storm windows. For a 2-story home in the area, most full-service jobs fall somewhere between $400 and $900 depending on window count, screen count, and any specialty work like post-construction scraping.
A job this size — 55 windows cleaned inside and out, plus screens and storm windows — typically runs a full day for a professional crew. Post-construction scraping added time on this particular project, since construction debris and paint overspray require careful blade work on each pane before standard cleaning can begin.
On a full-service job like this one, we cleaned both the interior and exterior glass, wiped down 25 screens, and cleaned 8 storm windows. Frames and sills get wiped as part of the process, so you're not left with clean glass sitting in dirty tracks.
We handle second-story windows using ladders and extension equipment — no window gets skipped because of height. Post-construction scraping, like what was needed on this Wilmette project, means using professional-grade razor blades to remove sticker adhesive, paint overspray, or mortar haze before washing, so the glass comes out clear rather than just smeared.
