Window Washing at a 2-story house in Winnetka on Forest Street. 31 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Winnetka's older neighborhoods hold onto summer longer than you'd expect — the canopy stays thick, and by the time fall sets in, window frames on a two-story house can show months of accumulated grime before anyone notices how bad it's gotten. That was the situation we found when we arrived at this home early on a weekday morning. The frames were heavily soiled, and with 31 windows spread across two floors, it was clear from the first walk-around that this would be a full day's work.
We started with an on-site estimate at eight and moved straight into the job from there. The exterior surfaces were the focus — no interior work on this visit — but the frames were in rough shape, caked with dirt and heavily populated with bugs and spiders that had settled into every recess and corner. Each of the 17 screens got a thorough wash, and the tracks and frames were wiped down before we touched the glass. Working methodically through both floors, we cleared the cobwebs, scrubbed the frames clean, and finished the squeegee work across all 31 panes. Four hours start to finish, with the invoice sent once the crew wrapped up.

Common questions from Winnetka homeowners researching Window Washing.
This 31-window exterior job on a two-story Winnetka home came to $284, which is right in line with typical pricing for the area. Most single- and two-story houses in the North Shore suburbs run between $200 and $400 depending on window count, accessibility, and any add-ons like screen cleaning.
A job this size — 31 windows plus 17 screens on a two-story home — generally takes a crew two to three hours from setup to finish. Heavy bug and spider buildup, like we found on this one, adds a bit of extra scrubbing time but doesn't dramatically change the overall duration.
On an exterior-only job we clean every outside glass surface, removing dirt, water spots, and debris like the heavy insect buildup found on this Winnetka house. When screens are added, as they were here with 17 screens, we remove, wash, and reinstall each one before wrapping up.
Yes, second-story windows are standard for us — we use the appropriate ladders and extension tools to reach every pane safely without skipping the upper level. On this job all 31 windows, including the upper-floor ones, were cleaned as part of the same visit. For a quote, call our Northbrook team at (847) 297-4492.
