Yes, window and gutter cleaning is one job for us: the same two people do both in one visit, gutters and downspouts 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. Across Florida, most of our homeowners book this combination in the spring and the fall, and that is the rhythm we plan our crews around. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number based on your stories and residential 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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both washing services on one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our window washing quote covers the gutters too, so the gutter line on the invoice is not a second charge. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Several things move the quote when the crew arrives. Multi-story buildings mean more time on the ladder, and so does a steep roof. Window count and picture windows change the hours, since a large pane takes longer to rinse than a small one. A home where the gutters have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves takes longer too. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different job from ordinary grime, and no cleaning removes it, so we say so before we price the glass.
Across Florida, the way to get an exact number is simple: tell us the stories, the rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. That is enough for the crew to give you the same figure we will charge. Our quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is a separate estimate. If you book regular cleanings, we quote from the same stories and window count each visit, so a repeat visit to the same house should land on the same number. Ask for a written estimate if you want it before you book a date, and we will send one.
| 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.
Across Florida, most homeowners book both jobs twice a year: the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs the spring visit clears the pollen that settles as a film on south-facing glass and as paste in the gutters, and it is the one most owners want for curb appeal. The fall visit clears the leaf load that drops after the first cool weeks. Hurricane season can shift those dates across Florida, so we book by the condition of the house, not the calendar alone.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters between visits, with needles and grit packing the downspouts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a haze that the rain does not wash off. We tell you which of these your home has after the first visit.
There are two signs the windows need cleaning sooner: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and streaks that come back after rain. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout, and left alone that overflow can cause water damage at the fascia. If you see either, text a photo and ask for a date.
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.
Across Florida, we book the exterior cleaning service ourselves, crew by crew, so every job gets the same two people who will be on the ladder. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: the number of stories, the rough window count, and a photo of the house front. Residential properties are booked the same way. Lead times depend on the season and the crew calendar, so the first open date is whatever the calendar shows when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service and we give you that date. We call before we come, so nobody arrives unannounced.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, and booking early there is the difference between getting the date you want and waiting. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Window cleaning services like this one are only as good as the scheduling behind them, so we keep the crew small and the dates honest. The crew cleans every window on the outside that can be reached safely, and professional window cleaning on our jobs means a water-fed pole where a ladder is not needed. Glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, which is why it dries without streaks. Local window cleaners often promise more than they can deliver in a busy week; we would rather quote a date we can keep. This page is about homes, not residential and commercial buildings, and condos have their own building access rules, so ask for a separate estimate before you book one.
Ours does both, and it is the same two people in the same visit. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then clean the outside of the glass, so the dirty water does not land on the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before you book. We will not guess at it from the street.
On our jobs in Florida the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Our crew is there to remove dirt from the outside of the glass, and the inside can look clean while the outside is still hazy in low sun.
Across Florida, most of our homeowners book in the spring and the fall. Book early in those windows, because the calendar fills first.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water from a gutter run, plus any runoff, come down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the outside of the window, and we tell you before the visit if anything needs more time.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Our crew does not touch the windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, 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 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.
