Trusted by Park Ridge homeowners, HOAs, and businesses since 2015. 800+ five-star reviews.
Park Ridge borders Chicago’s northwest side. The village was developed with the look of a traditional New England town: large homes on wide lots with a deliberate profusion of trees throughout the community. That character holds today.
Park Ridge carries a Tree City USA designation, and it shows. Heavy tree cover lines the residential streets, creating shade and curb appeal but also delivering consistent leaf debris, pollen, and organic buildup onto roofs, gutters, and siding. Homes here range from early 20th century construction to recent builds, with varied architectural details across different periods.
The Uptown area has been redeveloped with shops and restaurants, giving the village a walkable commercial core. Outside Uptown, the residential neighborhoods maintain the wide-lot, tree-lined character the community is known for.
Park Ridge is a storm window town, and that’s a real distinction. Sparkle Service has cleaned windows here since 2015. The prewar and midcentury houses through Country Club and the streets around Uptown still run original wood sash with separate wood storms and screens — panels that have to come out, get washed, and go back in the frame they came from. We number them so they do, and we tell you when a sash cord or a spline is the actual problem rather than the dirt.
Gutter Cleaning in Park Ridge
Park Ridge’s Tree City canopy fills gutters on every street, and on the two-story homes around Uptown we clear the upper runs from the roof and flush each downspout to the ground.
From $150 for one-story homes and $195 for two-story, including downspouts and haul-away.
Window Cleaning in Park Ridge
Wood storms come out and go back in the frame they came from, so a storm-window house in Park Ridge is priced per window and per storm panel, counted on your house.
From $7 per exterior window and $10 inside and out, sills and frames included. A $150 job minimum applies.
Window Screen Repair & Cleaning in Park Ridge
We machine-wash removable screens for $5 each when added to a window cleaning. Torn mesh repair starts at $35 per standard window screen. We also re-screen door screens, porches and four-season rooms. Specialty panels or damaged wooden trim are quoted before work begins.
Pressure & Soft Washing in Park Ridge
Original clapboard and trim on Park Ridge’s prewar homes get a soft wash with hand detailing. Full pressure stays on the drive and walks.
Driveways from $240, decks and patios from $210. House soft washing from $295, fascia, soffits and the outside of the gutters included.
Park Ridge — Exterior Windows and Gutters
A Park Ridge homeowner booked exterior window cleaning and gutters together at the end of March — a two-story house, no gutter guards, and basement windows included, which people forget about until someone asks.

| Completed | March 2026 |
| Price | $360 |
What was included. Mark cleared the gutters and downspouts and did the exterior glass, basement windows included. Booking both services in one visit knocked $15 off the total: one drive, one setup, and the discount reflects it. Exterior windows $200 · gutters $175, less $15 for booking two services — $360 total, one visit, one technician.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Park Ridge’s Tree City USA canopy create more exterior cleaning demand than neighboring communities?
The designation reflects deliberately heavy tree planting across every residential street. That canopy produces consistent leaf debris, pollen, and shade-driven organic growth on every surface. Most Park Ridge homeowners need at least two gutter cleanings per year, and soft washing is important for siding under heavy canopy.
What cleaning approach works best for Park Ridge’s early 20th century homes near Uptown?
Older homes have original clapboard siding, decorative trim, and period window configurations. Soft washing at low pressure with hand detailing around ornamental features. Never high pressure on aged materials.
How much does house soft washing cost in Park Ridge?
Soft washing starts at $295. Park Ridge’s older, larger homes with heavy organic buildup from the tree canopy typically run $400 to $600 depending on size and condition.
Do you clean commercial storefronts and sidewalks in the Uptown district?
Storefront glass, awnings, and sidewalk pressure washing are available for Uptown businesses. Service is scheduled before or after business hours. Recurring contracts include lower per-visit rates.
What’s the best spring cleaning checklist for a Park Ridge homeowner?
Gutter cleaning to clear winter debris and spring seed pods. Window cleaning to remove winter film. Check siding for new dark streaks (schedule soft washing if they’ve appeared). This three-point check covers the essentials after every Chicago winter.
