Yes, 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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Florida, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and that is when our Forest City calendar fills first.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so there are no surprises on the invoice. Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but we quote the whole house before the crew climbs, and the front elevation carries most of the curb appeal, so the quote covers all of it.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew sees from the ground and the ladder. A third story or a steep roof changes how we set up. Window count and oversized panes, picture windows included, change the time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no cleaning removes, and we will tell you so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This quote covers the outside only, so windows inside are not in the price, and interior and exterior glass never go on one invoice.
For the most accurate number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows face outside. Across Florida, that is how most homeowners get their exact figure, and it takes a few minutes. Window washing on a house with heavy tree cover or a lot of glass is where the time goes, and we want to see that before we quote it. Clogged gutters on multi-story buildings and any sign of water damage on the fascia also get noted in the photos, so the estimate reflects the real condition of the house and not a guess. Professional window cleaning on a home that has been left a long time is not the same job as one of our regular cleanings, and our estimate says which one you have.
| 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.
On our Forest City jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for most homes. In the spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, so that visit is when the calendar fills first. The fall visit deals with the leaf load and the wet mat that stays in the runs once the leaves drop. Across Florida, spring visits usually land in mid to late April and fall visits in November to December, and hurricane season can move those dates, so we confirm each visit by phone before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a third visit deals with them before they set. A residential window on a house close to a busy road or active construction gets dust on the frames faster than most, so those customers book more often. Frames and sills included in the cleaning services mean clean windows last longer, which is why we wipe the sill on every window and do not skip it. The job is the same whether the house is a single family home or one of the residential properties we clean across the area, and the frequency follows the lot, not the calendar.
You will know windows need a visit when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 window cleaning services cover Forest City and the homes around it, and we book the work in the order the calls come in. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate the same day we hear from you. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is, and the spring and fall windows fill first, so the sooner you call, the sooner the crew can come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call you before we come so you know the truck is on the way. For condos or a building with a shared entry, we coordinate the access ahead of the visit so the crew is not standing at a gate. We take residential and commercial jobs on the same schedule, and the same crew handles gutters and downspouts and the glass in one trip. Dust, runoff and grime on the lower panes all get handled in the same pass, and the crew wipes the frames to remove dirt while it is up there, so you do not pay for a second visit to finish what was started. Our washing services use purified water to get the glass to dry clean, and a clean run of gutters is what keeps water off the wall below it.
Yes. Our crew does both, for residential and commercial properties alike, so the same two people set up, clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and then do the glass in one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book anything. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the exact figure.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what is on the glass, and that holds for picture windows too. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up outside and rarely reach the inside, so the outside is where the visible haze comes from.
Most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall, and the spring calendar fills first because of the pollen. Regular cleanings in both seasons keep the frames clear between the bigger visits.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared first, the leaves, grit and black water come down and are rinsed off before anyone touches the windows.
The screens are rinsed, the sills are wiped and the tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. Cleaning solutions only come into it when a spot needs the separate mineral treatment, and that is quoted before it is done.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are never on the same invoice. We do not clean windows inside, 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, 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.
