Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof ends up on clean panes. We price by stories and an approximate window count, and both in one visit costs less than two trips. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote. Across Florida, most of our customers book this work in spring and fall, when leaves and grit 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs bundled into one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. If you are comparing professional window cleaning quotes from other window cleaners, give each one the same story count and window count. Your exact quote comes from the stories and window count of your own house.
On our jobs in Lakeside, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift, and multi-story buildings add time on every elevation. Oversized panes and a large number of windows add minutes to every elevation, and clean glass and gutters go a long way toward curb appeal. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be flushed. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove, and we tell you about it before we start. Exterior window washing, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside the house are a separate quote and are not counted here.
What we can say about how this works in practice: most quotes come down to a short list of facts about your house. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us how many stories it has, and give us a rough window count. That is enough for us to give you a number the same day. If clogged gutters are already causing water damage to the fascia or siding below, we point it out on the estimate so you know what you are looking at before we arrive.
| 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 gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that calendar is what makes one crew in one visit sensible. Lakeside follows the same pattern for cleaning services, with the spring bloom and the leaves as the two things that drive it.
On our Lakeside jobs, the pollen film settles on the south-facing glass of every window in the house, and the sticky pollen paste packs the gutters during the spring bloom. In the fall, the leaf load builds up in the runs and the downspout elbows and the wet mat sits on the glass for weeks. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we schedule.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all tend to call for regular cleanings beyond the twice-a-year schedule. The spots that come back a day after a cleaning on a residential window are almost always mineral deposits from sprinkler water, not dirt, and that is one of the clearest signs a third visit is worth scheduling.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up on the glass that only appears when the sun is low, because clean windows should not carry one, and a dusty sill is another early sign. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspouts. Either sign is a good reason to schedule service.
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.
We clean gutters and exterior windows across Lakeside, and booking for our washing services starts with a quick estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the slot and the price together. Lead times are set by our current calendar, and we will tell you the earliest date when you call. Our window cleaning services fill fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring bloom and the fall leaf drop, so booking early helps.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside and does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. For residential and commercial customers, including multi-story buildings, office buildings, retail centers and condos, we schedule per building and coordinate the visit with the property manager.
Gutters and downspouts take the heaviest load during rain, and that is when runoff from the roof does the most damage to the fascia and the foundation. Clearing the runs and flushing the downspouts before the wet season is the simplest way to prevent it. When a crew works through the whole house in one visit, it can also remove dirt and grime from the glass at the same time without an extra trip, which is the practical reason the two jobs are bundled.
Yes, it is the same crew. We clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirt from the roof does not end up on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Send us the story count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the job from those.
On our jobs in Lakeside, the outside of the glass carries pollen, tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the inside alone leaves the haze you see when the sun is low.
Most of our residential and commercial customers book in spring and in fall, which lines up with the spring bloom and the leaf drop. Across Florida the pattern is the same, so schedule your visit around those two windows, and add regular cleanings if sprinkler spotting keeps coming back.
Gutters first, glass last. When we clear a run, the leaves and the black water under them come down the wall and across any window below it. Flushing the downspouts sends more of it onto the panes beside the outlet. Doing the glass last avoids washing it twice.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job, picture windows included. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks as we work, and none of it is billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, with purified water rather than cleaning solutions. Cleaning interior and exterior glass is a separate job, so the windows inside the house are not part of this visit. We do not do pressure washing as part of the gutter and window visit.
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 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.
