Palatine sits in Cook County’s northwest suburbs with a mix of residential, commercial, and light industrial areas and a small-town atmosphere at its core.
Downtown Palatine is pedestrian-friendly and walkable, centered around the Metra station. The village has revitalized this area over the years, creating a compact commercial district with shops and restaurants. Beyond downtown, residential neighborhoods spread across the community with homes from various eras.
Housing stock is diverse. Second Empire and Tudor Revival homes sit alongside mid-century split-levels, ramblers, Colonial Revivals, and contemporary condos and townhouses. That range of architectural styles and construction periods means different exterior surfaces and cleaning requirements across the village. Trees line the sidewalks in downtown and residential areas, contributing to seasonal debris on roofs and in gutters.
Palatine has more enclosed porches and four-season rooms than almost any town we work, and most contractors won’t touch them. Sparkle Service has repaired screens here since 2015. The 1970s and 80s subdivisions across the village are full of sunroom additions whose original panels have sagged, torn at the spline, or gone chalky — and we rebuild the existing frames rather than selling you a new system.
Gutter Cleaning in Palatine
Palatine’s split-levels and ramblers have low-slope gutter runs where one blocked downspout backs up the whole line, so each spout is flushed, and the debris is hauled off rather than blown into the beds.
From $150 for one-story homes and $195 for two-story, including downspouts and haul-away.
Window Cleaning in Palatine
A Tudor Revival near downtown and a 1970s split-level carry very different glass, so window cleaning in Palatine is priced per window, 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 Palatine
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 Palatine
Tudor stucco and half-timber in Palatine get a soft wash at low pressure. Full pressure is kept for the concrete drive, walks and patio.
Driveways from $240, decks and patios from $210. House soft washing from $295, fascia, soffits and the outside of the gutters included.
Palatine — Screen Repair and Exterior Window Cleaning
A Palatine homeowner had 17 screens rescreened along with exterior window cleaning.
| Technician | Ruslan |
|---|---|
| Price | $795 |
What was included. That number is typical here — Palatine’s 1970s and 80s subdivisions are full of homes where every screen in the house went in at the same time and reached the end of its life at the same time. Sun-damaged mesh, stretched spline, torn corners, frames that are still perfectly sound. Ruslan rebuilt all 17: new mesh, new spline, frames adjusted and tightened. Replacing screens outright costs several times what rebuilding them does, and on a house this age the frames don’t need replacing. Exterior glass and frames were cleaned in the same visit. 17 screens at $35 each $595 · exterior windows $200 — $795 total, one visit, one technician.

Christmas Lights in Palatine
We design, install and take down Christmas lights on the same roofs we clean the rest of the year, so we already know how to get up there safely. Lights, install, takedown, storage and in-season repair are all included, and nothing is left on the house in January.
$9 per foot for a first season, $8 every season after with the same display going back up.
We start installing in October, so Palatine homes that book early get first pick.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does Palatine’s range of architectural styles (Tudor Revival, split-level, contemporary condos) affect your cleaning approach?
Every exterior material reacts differently to cleaning. Tudor stucco and half-timber need soft washing. Mid-century split-levels often have a mix of brick and siding. Contemporary condos have glass and composite panels. We identify the surface type first and match the method to it.
What exterior cleaning do downtown Palatine businesses near the Metra station typically need?
Storefront glass and awning cleaning on a weekly or biweekly cycle, plus quarterly sidewalk pressure washing. The foot traffic from the Metra station means entryways and glass accumulate grime faster than in lower-traffic locations.
How much does window cleaning cost for a Palatine split-level or ranch home?
Most Palatine homes in this style range from $200 to $350 for interior and exterior cleaning. The per-window rate is $7 for standard panes.
When is fall gutter cleaning most important in Palatine?
After the last major leaf drop, typically mid to late November. Palatine’s tree-lined residential streets produce significant debris in a compressed window. Cleaning too early means a second round of buildup before winter.
Can you clean condos and multi-unit buildings in Palatine?
We handle condos, townhomes, and multi-unit buildings throughout the village. For larger buildings, we coordinate with the property management team on scheduling, access, and scope.
