Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Winton customers book it in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We build the quote from your number of stories and the approximate window count, the same way for residential and commercial buildings, and the bundle of gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we will confirm the figure before a date is set, whether this is your first visit or one of your regular cleanings.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story glass take longer per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove, and we tell you about it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions used on the frames are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is an example of how it plays out. A customer whose house sits under a large tree needed the gutters cleared of debris and the exterior glass cleaned in the same visit. The tree cover meant more clearing time, and we told them the number before we came. What we found and what we did is in the case linked from this page.
For a figure that fits your house, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories. The estimate covers the exterior only, so there is no interior and exterior split to argue about on the invoice. We will give you a written estimate before the crew is booked.

| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 Winton customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why professional window cleaning and gutter work on one visit makes sense for them. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. Window cleaners who come once a year tend to miss that film by the time fall arrives. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the first rains. Wind and storm seasons can move those dates, so we look at the house before we confirm the date for our cleaning services.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Water damage from a gutter that overflows onto the sill is the bigger risk, so we flag it on the visit. Houses and multi-story buildings close to a busy road or a construction site collect more dust on the frames. On our jobs, these are the houses that end up on three or four visits a year instead of two. Most homes with little tree cover do fine on the twice-a-year schedule, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal.
There are two signs that windows need cleaning sooner than planned. The first is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, when the glass is lit from the side. If the haze is on windows inside the house, that is a separate problem an exterior visit cannot fix. The second is clogged gutters that sheet water over the edge in a steady rain, which usually means debris is building up behind the lip. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what we think is happening.
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 crews have worked across Winton on window and gutter cleaning at residential properties, and we book on a rolling basis. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We check the calendar against your roofline and confirm a date. Our typical lead time is a field we fill in per visit, and we will tell you the exact window when you call.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We call before we arrive, so you know the truck is on the way. The two busy stretches of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills quickly in both. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot that suits your schedule.
Every house gets the same order of work, whether it is a single-story ranch or a multi-story home with a long run of gutter. The crew checks the roofline, clears the runs, flushes each downspout and then cleans the glass one pane at a time. Clearing the gutters first keeps debris off the clean windows the crew finishes last. The crew cleans every window the same way, and the sill is wiped on every pass. A residential window on the north side gets the same pass as one facing the street.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both, and the gutters and downspouts are done first, then the glass.
We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, by phone or by text, and condos are quoted the same way. The figure you get is the figure we charge.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the exterior is where most of the grime sits.
Most of our Winton customers book window cleaning services in spring and in fall, after the pollen drops and after the leaves come down.
Not when the order is right. Gutters first and glass last means no runoff from the roof lands on a finished pane.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are done as part of the job, which is how we remove dirt before it can wash back onto the glass. We do not bill them separately.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean the inside of the windows, and our washing services cover the gutters and the exterior glass only, with no pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside 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.
