About Our Services in Vernon Hills
Vernon Hills sits in the middle of the Lake County towns we already work in. Long Grove, Mundelein, Buffalo Grove, Libertyville and Lake Zurich are all a short drive away, so a Vernon Hills job fits into a route we already run out of Palatine instead of a special trip. We cover all of 60061, from the Route 60 and Milwaukee Avenue corridors to the subdivisions on either side of them.
Most of the village was built between the 1970s and the 2000s, and the mix is what makes it different from the older towns around it. There are large townhome communities like Plymouth Farms and Carriages of Grosse Pointe, coach home and condo buildings, and single family neighborhoods such as Deerpath, Centennial Crossing and Saint Andrews, plus newer streets like Oakmont and Pine Valley. A townhome row and a 4,000 square foot single family house are different jobs, and we quote them that way.
Vinyl siding and asphalt shingle roofs are common here. The roofs on homes built in the late 1990s and early 2000s are now 20 to 30 years old, and that is when the black streaking on north and east facing slopes starts to spread. It is algae feeding on the limestone filler in the shingle. A low pressure soft wash clears it without stripping granules from a roof that still has years left. High pressure would clear the streaks and take the granules with them, so we do not put a pressure washer on shingles.
Gutter needs depend on the street. Newer subdivisions with younger trees usually do fine with one cleaning a year, in late fall after the leaves are down. Streets with mature oaks and maples, and any house with a limb over the roofline, need a second visit in spring. We flush every downspout either way. On a townhome row, one blocked downspout sends water against your neighbor's foundation as well as yours.
Vernon Hills is also a retail and business town. We quote recurring window cleaning for storefronts and offices along Route 60 and Milwaukee Avenue, around Hawthorn Mall and Mellody Farm, and in the Corporate Woods business park, on weekly, monthly or quarterly schedules. For townhome and condo associations we work to a set schedule with one point of contact.
We also pressure wash concrete driveways, walks and patios, soft wash siding, and clean dryer vents, including runs that exit through the roof or a high sidewall and need rope access to reach.

Vernon Hills Exterior Cleaning FAQs
Do you really serve Vernon Hills, or is it too far from Palatine?
Yes. We are based in Palatine, and we already work in Long Grove, Mundelein, Buffalo Grove, Libertyville and Lake Zurich, so Vernon Hills is on a route we already drive. We serve all of 60061. Send a request or call 224-458-2496 and we will tell you the first open day for the service you want.
I live in a Vernon Hills townhome. Can you clean just my unit?
Yes. Windows are done unit by unit. Gutters on a townhome row often run along the whole building, so we clean the section over your unit and flush your downspouts so nothing backs up toward a neighbor. If your association handles exterior work, check with the property manager first. We can also quote a whole association on a set schedule with one contact.
Why is my Vernon Hills roof streaked black, and can it be cleaned safely?
The streaks are algae, and they show worst on shaded north and east slopes. Roofs from the late 1990s and early 2000s are the ones showing it now. The streaking is mostly cosmetic, but if it is left alone moss can follow, and moss does lift shingles. A low pressure soft wash with a cleaning solution removes the algae without stripping granules. We do not pressure wash shingles.
How often should gutters be cleaned in Vernon Hills?
Once a year, in late fall after the leaves are down, is enough for many newer Vernon Hills streets with younger trees. Add a spring visit if you have mature oaks or maples or limbs over the roof. If water is spilling over the edge after a heavy storm, do not wait for the schedule. We flush the downspouts on every visit.
Do you clean windows for Vernon Hills businesses?
Yes. We quote storefronts, offices and restaurants along Route 60 and Milwaukee Avenue, around Hawthorn Mall and Mellody Farm, and in the business parks, on weekly, monthly or quarterly schedules. Tall glass is worked with water fed poles from the ground or with rope access, so a lift does not have to take up your parking.
