Question 2

How much does residential window cleaning cost in the Southern Chicagoland area?

Accepted Answer

Interior and exterior cleaning is $15 per window, exterior-only is $10 per window, and screen cleaning is $3 per screen. Skylight cleaning is $20 per skylight for exterior only. There is a $199 minimum service charge, and most residential jobs fall in the $250–$500 range, depending on window count and scope.

Question 3

How long will the job take from start to finish?

Accepted Answer

Most standard residential jobs run two to three hours. Time shifts based on window count, whether interior cleaning is included, and any add-ons requested.

Question 4

Is your window cleaning environmentally friendly?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Interior and exterior cleaning is our standard option, and exterior-only is available for clients who only need the outside done. Both are priced using the same per-window structure.

Question 5

Do you clean window screens?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Screens are removed before window cleaning begins and lightly cleaned as needed before being reinstalled at the end of the job. This includes brushing debris from the frame and a light wipe-down of the screen surface as part of the service.

Question 6

Is track cleaning part of the service?

Accepted Answer

Basic track cleaning is included with every interior and exterior job and covers brushing, vacuuming, brush agitation, and a damp-towel wipe — at no extra charge.

Question 7

Will there be any residue or film left on the glass after cleaning?

Accepted Answer

No. The correct soap-to-water ratio and consistent squeegee technique throughout the job prevent residue. Film left behind after cleaning is typically the result of too much soap or the wrong mixture — neither of which happens on our jobs.

Question 8

Question What sets standard window cleaning apart from hard water stain removal?

Accepted Answer

Standard cleaning removes dust, pollen, salt residue, and everyday surface buildup. Hard water stain removal is a separate restoration process that uses professional solutions to treat mineral deposits that have bonded to the glass. It takes longer and is priced separately at $25 per window.

Question 9

Can hard water stains be removed from my windows?

Accepted Answer

Yes — but it's a separate and more intensive service. If mineral buildup is a concern, mention it when requesting your estimate so the right service gets scheduled from the start. Standard window cleaning alone does not remove hard water stains.

Question 10

What happens if it rains right after my cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Light rain on clean glass rarely causes spotting. Spots form when dust or film is still sitting on the glass before the rain hits — which is exactly what we remove. Every job is backed by a 7-day rain guarantee. If spotting appears within that window, reach out and we'll come back for touch-ups at no charge.

Question 11

Why do windows in the Southern Chicagoland area seem to need cleaning more often than expected?

Accepted Answer

Windows in the Southern Chicagoland area are constantly exposed to pollen, dust, rain, hard water, changing seasons, and airborne buildup throughout the year. Over time, this can leave glass looking cloudy, streaked, or dirty much faster than many homeowners expect — especially during spring, summer, and fall.

Question 12

How often should windows be professionally cleaned?

Accepted Answer

For most homeowners in the Southern Chicagoland area, professional window cleaning twice a year is ideal. Homes with heavy tree coverage, nearby construction, or higher exposure to dust and pollen may benefit from more frequent cleanings depending on buildup and surrounding conditions.

Question 13

Are your cleaning products safe for pets, plants, and indoor spaces?

Accepted Answer

Yes. We use eco-friendly professional cleaning solutions, rinse thoroughly throughout the process, and ask that pets stay indoors while exterior work is being performed.

Question 14

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Midwest Exterior Detailing is fully insured for residential and commercial exterior cleaning services.

Question 15

Can I see reviews before booking?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely. Midwest Exterior Detailing has earned 15 five-star Google reviews along with additional positive reviews on Facebook from local homeowners throughout the area. Reviews can be viewed directly on our Google Business and Facebook pages, and we’re always happy to answer any questions before you book.

Question 16

Which areas do you serve?

Accepted Answer

We proudly serve homeowners and businesses throughout the Southern Chicagoland area, including Grundy, Will, and Kankakee County, along with surrounding communities within roughly a 45-minute radius of Braidwood, Illinois.

Question 17

How are upper-floor or hard-to-reach windows handled safely?

Accepted Answer

We use a professional squeegee system as the primary cleaning method for residential window cleaning, along with extension ladders where needed for detailed access. For higher or harder-to-reach windows, Midwest Exterior Detailing also utilizes a professional RODI pure water cleaning system and extension tools to safely deliver a thorough, streak-free finish.

Question 18

Do you offer post-construction window cleaning?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Post-construction window cleaning is available for homes coming out of a build or renovation. It's handled case by case and discussed at the estimate stage so we can scope the job correctly.
