Chicago's brick two-flats, greystones and lakefront high-rises all clean differently, and getting someone up a ladder on the second floor is not a job to hand off blind. The window cleaners in Chicago on this page have logged nearly 2,800 Google reviews between them, and the top pick alone accounts for well over half of that, so the split between one dominant name and several smaller specialists matters more here than the star ratings do.
Short answer: Prime Time Window & Gutter Cleaning leads Chicago window cleaners by volume with 1,679 Google reviews at 4.4 stars, while Urban Street Window Works LLC posts a perfect 5.0 and My Window Washing and Gutter Cleaning and Sparkle Service Chicago both sit at 4.9. Most jobs run on a per-window or flat-rate quote, and several also handle gutters and pressure washing in the same visit.

Claim this spot › How we score
Every number on this page comes from public Google data as of the date shown, not opinion or payment. Rating is the business’s live Google star average. Review volume measures how many customers have rated them, ranked against other Chicago window cleaners. Confidence weighs the rating by that volume, so a 4.4 from thousands of reviewers can carry more weight than a perfect 5.0 from under 200. Recency reflects how recently customers are still leaving reviews. No business can pay to change these numbers.
How much does window cleaning cost in Chicago? (2026)
Chicago window cleaners generally price by the window, by the story, or as a flat rate for a standard home, with gutter cleaning and pressure washing quoted separately. Reviewers on this page mention a range of real prices for comparable jobs, most often for combined gutter and window visits on a typical two-story home.
| Job | Typical price |
|---|
| Gutter cleaning, 2-story ~2,300 sq ft home | around $225 - $240 |
Price drawn from a verified Google reviewer’s quote for gutter cleaning on a 2-story home, cited August 2026. Get a written quote for your own property, since window count, access and add-ons like downspouts change the total.

What to ask before you hire a window cleaner
- Is the quote per window, per story, or a flat rate for the whole job?
- Are you insured for work at height on a multi-story building?
- Do you also clean gutters, screens or solar panels, or is that a separate provider?
- How soon can you schedule, and do you offer same-day or next-day service?
- Is there an extra charge for a specific window type, like storm windows or skylights?
Frequently asked questions
How did you choose these window cleaners?
We started from window cleaning companies in Chicago with a public Google presence, then ranked by rating, review volume, consistency and recency. See How we score above.
Are these rankings paid?
No. Rankings come from public Google data. A business can pay to be a Featured Partner, which adds a badge and top placement, but that never changes another business’s score or position.
How often is this updated?
The data carries a verified date (August 2026 on this page). We refresh listings periodically so ratings and review counts stay current.
Do Chicago window cleaners also clean gutters?
Most companies on this page, including Prime Time, My Window Washing and Sparkle Service, handle gutter cleaning and pressure washing alongside window washing, so you can often book everything in one visit.
Is window cleaning worth it for Chicago’s older buildings?
Greystones, two-flats and courtyard buildings all clean differently than newer construction, and several companies on this page specifically note experience with Chicago’s limestone and brick building stock.
The bottom line
Prime Time is the safe default on sheer review volume and a guarantee-backed price, while Urban Street Window Works is the strongest pick if you run a storefront and want a subscription schedule. For a fast Northwest Side appointment, My Window Washing’s same-day booking stands out.
