About Our Services in Libertyville
Libertyville has an old core, and it decides a lot of what we do here. A fire in 1895 took much of downtown, and it was rebuilt in brick. The streets around Milwaukee Avenue still have early 1900s bungalows, Craftsman houses and Victorians with cedar siding, wood windows and painted trim.
Those materials set the method. Wood siding and cedar get soft washed at low pressure, never blasted. Original wood windows and storms get cleaned by hand, working around glazing putty and painted sashes instead of scraping through them. On a house that age, a cleaning only counts if nothing gets damaged doing it.
We did a full exterior on a two story Libertyville home in April 2026. The door and outlets were masked before any water moved. The siding was soft washed at low pressure, and the beds around the house were rinsed and neutralized afterward. Then we cleaned every window inside and out and took the screens off to wash them separately. That is the standard job here, and the same steps apply to your house.
Trees and water are the other constants. Older Libertyville streets have a full canopy, and the Des Plaines River runs along the east side of the village, so roofs stay damp and shaded longer than they do on open lots. That is why north facing slopes streak with algae, and why houses under mature trees usually need gutters cleaned twice a year, in spring and again in November after the leaves are down. We flush every downspout and check for underground drains, because a clean gutter feeding a blocked drain still overflows.
Newer Libertyville is a different job. Subdivisions such as Winchester Estates and Huntington Lakes went up in the 1980s, and the custom houses on acre lots in Nickels and Dimes are quoted on site, because the window count and where a ladder can stand matter more than square footage. Downtown, we quote recurring window cleaning for the brick storefronts along Milwaukee Avenue on weekly, monthly or quarterly schedules, and old brick and mortar only ever get a low pressure wash.
We also pressure wash concrete walks, patios and driveways (asphalt is handled differently from concrete), and clean dryer vents, including runs that exit through the roof or a high sidewall and need rope access to reach.

Libertyville Exterior Cleaning FAQs
Do you serve Libertyville, and have you worked there?
Yes, all of 60048. We are based in Palatine and already work in Mundelein, Lake Forest, Long Grove and Lake Zurich, so Libertyville is on a route we already drive. In April 2026 we washed and cleaned a two story Libertyville home top to bottom. Call 224-458-2496 or send a request for a free quote.
Is it safe to clean the original wood windows in an older Libertyville house?
Yes, with hand work. Original wood windows and storm windows are cleaned by hand, and we work around glazing putty and painted sashes instead of forcing them. If a sash is painted shut, or a storm is better off removed for the season, we say so rather than risk the glass or the frame.
Can you wash cedar or painted wood siding without damaging it?
Yes, by soft washing. We use low pressure and a cleaning solution suited to wood or paint, keep the water from being driven up behind the laps, and rinse and neutralize afterward. Pressure washing raises the grain and strips paint, which is why we do not use it on wood.
How often do gutters need cleaning in Libertyville?
Twice a year for most older, wooded streets: spring after the seed and pollen drop, and November after the leaves are down. Newer subdivisions with young trees can often go once a year in late fall. Either way we flush the downspouts, and on older houses we check for underground drain tile that has clogged.
Do you clean windows for downtown Libertyville businesses?
Yes. We quote storefronts and offices on Milwaukee Avenue and the streets around the Heritage area on weekly, monthly or quarterly schedules. Upper floor glass on the older brick buildings is worked with water fed poles from the ground or with rope access. Old brick gets a low pressure rinse only.
