Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips.
On our Homewood jobs, most customers book us in spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up enough to matter. That rhythm is what our crew plans around.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning by stories and approximate window count, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than two separate bookings. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, quoted from those details before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Window count matters, and so do picture windows, which are large single panes. We count every window on the outside of the house, because the quote covers all of them. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves from nearby trees, take more time to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Our cleaning solutions are purified water, which dries the glass clean, but hard-water spotting from sprinkler heads is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and quote a mineral treatment separately. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed as part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are included and are not billed as extras.
Our Homewood jobs show how much the details matter. One customer asked us to start on the gutters and finish the windows in the same visit, and the quote came down to the stories and the number of panes on the south side. Another house had sprinkler spotting and a tree line over the roof, so the crew flagged both before quoting. The quote covers the work you can see, and the photos show what got done.
Getting an exact number is simple. Tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have, and text a photo of the front of the house. Keep in mind that the crew is measuring the gutter runs and the glass, not the sales pitch, so the figure you hear is the figure you pay. We will also tell you what needs a second look before we start.
| 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 Homewood customers book both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Those two windows line up with what we find on the glass and in the gutters.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters and elbows. Our crew finds that it has turned into a sticky layer you can feel with a finger. In fall, the leaf load is the thing to watch, and wind or storm seasons can move the dates. Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is another reason, since the spots come back a day after cleaning if the mineral is still there. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more grime, and its runoff splashes the lower glass, so it also gets a third visit.
Our frequency rule for regular cleanings is simple: if the house has few or no trees and no sprinkler spotting, a fall visit each year is usually enough. If you have trees or sprinkler spotting, plan for the third visit.
Two signs tell you when windows need cleaning. One is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The other is water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain, which means the gutter is full. When either shows up, call us before it becomes a bigger job.
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.
Our crew cleans gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across Homewood, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and tree debris are heaviest. Book early in those months so we can schedule service for your slot before the rush. Every estimate starts with a call or text that gives us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and that is enough for a firm quote.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without entering the house. Multi-story buildings, condos and older homes with clogged gutters or water damage get the same careful visit, with photos of each run sent before the crew leaves. Our washing services cover the outside of the glass and the gutters in one visit, and window cleaning services follow the same order of work on residential and commercial buildings. Call (866) 435-6328 and ask what the calendar looks like for your address.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit, and we do it that way on purpose. We work gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty runs onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories, the window count and the state of the gutters. Text a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure we will charge.
On a Homewood house, the outside carries the tree dust, rain grit and sprinkler spotting that the windows inside never see. Cleaning only the inside does not remove dirt from the outside glass, and the outside is where most of the curb appeal is lost.
Most of our Homewood customers book in spring and fall. Spring catches the dust buildup and fall catches the leaves, so those are the visits that keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters first and flush the downspouts, then let the wall dry before touching the glass. Running the job in the wrong order is how clean windows get dirty twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the glass side. These are not billed as extras, so the number we quote covers them.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not do interior and exterior glass in the same job, and we do not do pressure washing, so if you want the inside done we can send you to someone else.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
