The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Bithlo jobs, most customers book it for the spring and fall visits, when leaves and grit are heaviest. You can get an estimate in two quick steps: tell us your stories, then your approximate window count.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes all change the quote. Each level counts, because multi-story buildings are priced by stories, not by a flat rate.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Every window we clean gets its sill wiped, and our window washing runs from a water-fed pole with purified water, so the glass dries without spotting and the grime comes off in one pass. Our washing services cover the outside of the house; interior and exterior glass is a separate question, and on this visit we clean the exterior only. If you want the number for your house, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and window count, and we will give you the exact figure before we book a date.
We have seen this on Bithlo jobs: one house with two stories, a full set of picture windows across the front and a row of shaded gutters came in higher than a single-story neighbor because the gutters had gone years without a clean. Regular cleanings would have kept the gutters from packing up. The crew cleared the gutters and downspouts, flushed each run, and rinsed the glass in the same visit, and the invoice matched the phone quote.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Bithlo customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste settles in the gutters, and by fall the leaf load is heavy enough to make clogged gutters hold water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, and runoff from gutters that stay wet for long stretches invites water damage on the fascia and soffit.
Homes with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually need a third visit. The sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral deposits, and they are the clearest sign the glass needs more than a rinse. Residential and commercial glass both pick up those spots, but for a house the schedule is set by the roof and the sprinkler lines. For most homes two visits is enough, and after the first visit we tell you which schedule your lot actually needs.
You will notice the glass needs cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 has cleaned residential properties across Bithlo for both gutter cleaning and window cleaning, and we work with homeowners who want their exterior glass and gutters on one schedule. Our window cleaning services and our cleaning services for gutters run on the same visit, so the calendar holds one date. Booking starts with a call or text: give us your stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before we set a date. Lead times depend on the season, and during the busy windows our calendar fills first, so the earlier you call the easier it is to schedule service.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our window cleaners work from a pole on the ground wherever they can, and use a boom or scissor lift on the taller runs, with no harsh cleaning solutions on the glass. The pole method reaches every window from the ground wherever it can, and every residential window gets the same purified water rinse, which removes dirt without a squeegee drip. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and for homeowners who want professional window cleaning with a clear sequence, the bundle keeps the job to one visit and one invoice.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, which is why we offer window and gutter cleaning as a single job. Gutters come first, then the glass, so nothing dirty runs back onto the clean windows.
We do not quote a figure without the details. Send your stories and an approximate window count by phone or text, and we give you the exact number before we book.
On our Bithlo jobs the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust, leaf film and sprinkler spots. Exterior window cleaning removes what the weather leaves on the glass, and the inside can be done separately if you want it.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, when leaves and grit build up. Condos get the same two visits, though gutter access depends on the building. Spring and fall are the two windows when our calendar fills first, so calling early helps.
No, because we clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last. Leaves, grit and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on exterior work; heavy track buildup that needs more time is discussed before we start.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
