The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons here, and most of our Foley customers book both at once. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house for a residential window quote.
Priced by stories, not by a visit. The bundle costs less than two trips, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it comes from the house itself, not from a rate card.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. Window count and picture windows, the oversized panes, change the time on the glass. Heavy grime on the frames and sills adds time too. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the water can run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something a cleaning removes, so we note it at the visit. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts happens in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Our window washing services run from a water-fed pole with purified water, so the glass dries without residue, and we schedule service to fit your house rather than a fixed route.
One of our Foley jobs last spring is a useful example. A house with a large tree canopy over the back roof needed the gutters cleared of grit before the glass could be done, and the quote moved up once the crew saw the packed downspout elbows. That is the kind of detail we look for when we walk the lot. We remove dirt from the gutters first so the runoff from the roof does not reach the clean glass. If you are not sure how many stories or windows your house has, send a photo of the front by text and we will tell you what the quote is based on. Both residential and commercial jobs, including multi-family condos and townhomes, are quoted the same way, by building, not by unit.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
For context, nationally. Angi puts the average US gutter cleaning at $168, most homeowners paying $119 to $234 (Angi, 2026). Exterior-only window cleaning runs roughly $4 to $10 per window, or $100 to $250 for a typical home, with $3 to $5 per window more on upper stories (Angi, HomeGuide, via Google AI Overview, Oct 2026). Priced by stories, the most common model, a two-story gutter cleaning sits around $150 to $300 nationally. If a quote you are holding sits far outside these, ask what is driving it.
On every house we work, the first scoop out of a gutter ends up on the wall below it. We put the glass last so it ends up there once.
Gutters first, glass last. That is the order on every job our crew does, and it is the reason we book both with one crew instead of sending two.
What we see from the ladder. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water that sits under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing a downspout throws more of it, in a stream, onto the panes beside the outlet. If the glass was washed first, someone has to wash them again before we are off the ladder. So we do the roof blow-off, clear the gutters, flush every downspout, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. The panes under the downspout outlets are the last ones we touch on the house.
Two things we do differently from a window-only crew. We rinse the siding under each run before we move to the glass, so nothing left on the wall washes down onto it in the first rain. And we do the top-floor glass from the same ladder position as the gutter run, one setup per side of the house, which is where the bundle saving comes from: no second trip, no second setup.
Downspouts flushed, screens rinsed, sills wiped, bags hauled. None of it shows up as a line item.
Gutters. Roof blow-off where debris sits above the gutter line. Every run hand-cleared, not just the visible stretch from the ground. Every downspout flushed with water until it runs clear, and a blocked one cleared on the spot where it can be reached from above. A downspout that feeds a buried drain line is checked at the outlet; clearing the buried line is a separate job, quoted before anyone touches it. Debris bagged and taken away. Before-and-after photos of each run, sent to you before the crew leaves.
Windows, exterior only. Every reachable pane on the outside of the house, cleaned with a water-fed pole and purified water so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Frames wiped. Screens taken down, hand-rinsed and put back on request. Sills wiped. Upper-story windows done from the pole, not from a ladder leaned on the siding.
Not included, and we say so up front. Interior glass. Hard-water or sprinkler staining etched into the glass, which needs a separate mineral treatment and is quoted after the crew sees it. Post-construction paint, stickers or stucco. Skylights and solar panels. Pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways. Gutter guards: if a run is covered, lifting and reseating the guard adds time and is quoted by the foot before the visit, never on the day.
Twice a year for both, and the same two months, which is why one visit covers it.
Most of our Foley customers book both jobs twice a year, one visit in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the pollen is the thing we see first: a yellow film on the south-facing glass and paste in the gutter elbows. The cleaning solutions we use are chosen for the surface each one touches, and the crew walks each run before the first downspout is flushed. In the fall the leaf load and the wet mat in the gutters are what we find on the roof edge.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule. Those houses tend to come back on a three- to four-month rhythm, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A house near a busy road or a construction site is also a candidate for a third visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those are a separate job from dirt. Our regular cleanings on those residential properties keep the glass and the gutters from building up between visits, which is cheaper than letting the problem set in.
On the glass you will see the sign windows need attention: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. In the gutters the sign is water sheeting over the edge during rain. If you see either one, the crew can look at it at the next visit or on a separate schedule.
Most two-story homes are done in a morning. You do not need to be there, and you get the photos either way.
The crew calls the day before with a two-hour arrival window, and again when they are on the way.
How long. This Old House puts a professional gutter cleaning at 30 minutes to an hour on a typical house. Exterior windows on the same house run about the same again or a little more, so plan on a morning for a two-story home and most of a day for three stories or a house with a lot of glass. Gutters that have not been touched in years, steep roofs and wraparound porches run longer.
Before the crew arrives. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is not mud. Move cars off the driveway if windows face it. Keep pets inside while ladders are up. Unlock side gates. Nothing else; the crew brings its own water and power.
While they work. Gutters first, glass last, as described above. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. If something cannot be reached safely (a pane over a sunroom roof, a gutter run behind a tree limb) the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing.
After. Photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, sent by text or email before the crew leaves. The invoice matches the number quoted on the phone.
Send a photo and we tell you what it is. No argument about whether it rained.
Streaks. Purified water dries clean; a streak means something was missed, and that is on us. Send us a photo of it and we tell you what it is.
Spots that come back. Round white spots that return a day after cleaning are mineral deposits from sprinklers or hard water etched into the glass, not dirt. Cleaning cannot remove them; a mineral treatment can. The crew flags it on the visit so you are not surprised.
Rain the next day. Rain is distilled water and does not dirty clean glass by itself; what spots glass after rain is dust already on the frame or screen washing down. That is why frames and screens are done, not just the pane. If it looks worse after a storm, send the photo and we look at it.
Overflow after a cleaning. If a gutter runs clean and still sheets water over the edge in the next rain, the cause is slope, a sagging hanger or an undersized downspout, not debris. The crew notes what it saw and tells you; cleaning it again will not fix it, and we will not sell you a second cleaning for a slope problem.
Your house. Ladder stand-offs on every ladder so nothing rests on the gutter lip or dents the siding. Screens go back in the window they came out of.
Neighborhood by neighborhood, with a lead time we say out loud, and a call before the truck turns in.
We book window cleaning services and gutter jobs by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, starting with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, which follow the pollen season and the leaf drop, so booking ahead in those months is the safest way to get a slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our window cleaners work only on the outside of the glass on this visit, and the crew does not come inside.
Professional window cleaning is the core of what we do, and the gutters are cleaned on the same visit so the house is done once. We check the gutter runs for clogged gutters and for any sign of water damage at the fascia, and we photograph what we find so you can see it before we leave. On multi-story buildings the crew sets up the boom or scissor lift in advance, so every window is reached from it and the time on site is spent cleaning rather than setting up. Curb appeal depends on clean windows and clean gutters, looking as good as the front door, and that is what we aim to leave behind.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the dirty gutter water off the clean glass.
We give you the number by phone or text, based on stories and the size of the house, and that holds for any residential window job. We do not quote a price from a general range, because the house decides it.
Many customers book interior and exterior together, but on our Foley jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal job for us.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Booking when the pollen or the leaf drop starts is the most common time, and the calendar fills then.
Not on our jobs, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Dirty water from the roof runs down the wall and across the lower windows if the glass is done first.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit and are not billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this booking.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
