Window Washing at a 2-story house in Winnetka on Lindenwood Drive. 122 windows cleaned. Completed by our Northbrook team.
— Northbrook crew
Winnetka's older residential streets hold some of the largest homes on the North Shore, and this two-story was a fair example of that scale — 122 windows across the exterior, all exterior-only, the majority of them French-style with divided-light grids that collect grime in every muntin joint. Fall spider activity had been heavy across the façade; webs had built up in the corners of frames and along the sills in the kind of density that only comes from a season of undisturbed insects working through warm nights. Seven window wells added to the scope, several of them deep enough to require extra care clearing debris from the bottom before glass work could start.
Our two-man crew arrived at noon and moved through the property methodically, knocking down webs and clearing insect buildup before squeegee work began on each section — skipping that step would have just dragged the mess across the glass. The French-style grids slowed the pace the way they always do, each pane needing its own pass rather than a single broad stroke. The deep window wells took time to work properly, getting down to the glass level and cleaning the frames without leaving residue on the surrounding well walls. Five hours in, the last window was done. Invoice sent the same evening.

Common questions from Winnetka homeowners researching Window Washing.
For a 2-story home in Winnetka, pricing typically runs between $300 and $800 depending on window count and accessibility. This 122-window job on a 2-story house came in at $707, which is a solid benchmark for a large home with French-style windows in the area. Homes with deep window wells or hard-to-reach openings may land toward the higher end of that range.
A job this size — 122 windows on a 2-story home — generally takes a crew most of a working day to complete properly. Deep window wells slow things down because they require extra maneuvering to clean safely and thoroughly. Factoring in the bug and spider buildup on this particular house, the team had meaningful prep work before the washing itself could begin.
Exterior-only service covers the full outside glass surface, frames, and sills, including clearing out debris like cobwebs, dead insects, and dirt that collects in corners and wells. On this job, the deep window wells required hands-on attention to remove heavy bug and spider accumulation before the glass could be properly washed. French-style windows get cleaned pane by pane to make sure every divided section comes out clear.
Yes, second-story windows are a standard part of what we handle on 2-story homes, including those above deep window wells that require careful positioning to reach safely. The right equipment and technique matter a lot on jobs like this Winnetka house, where both height and well depth added complexity to the exterior wash.
