Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through On Top of the World the way it works everywhere, but this is the season, the spring and fall, when most of our calls come in. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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, and our window washing services and gutter cleaning services cost less done in one visit than booked as two jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge for the window cleaning services. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what it comes to before the crew is booked. Pricing covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work never shows up on the same quote.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high count of small panes add time on the glass, and so does grime baked onto the lower panes. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced on the number of feet covered. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate question: no cleaning removes it, and we will tell you on the visit if that is what you are looking at. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
Here is how a quote usually comes together. On one On Top of the World job, the house had two stories and a sprinkler line that hit the lower glass every morning. The gutters had not been opened in two seasons. The crew cleared the runs, flushed every downspout, and reported the spotting on the glass before cleaning it, so the owner knew what would and would not come off. Your number moves the same way: stories, window count, and what is sitting in the gutters. Houses on a schedule of regular cleanings tend to need less time in the gutters on each visit, because the debris has less time to pack. We do not quote a figure without seeing those three things.
| 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 customers here book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Florida, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, when pollen film builds on south-facing glass and pollen paste packs the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall, visits run December to early January, and the leaf load and the wet leaf mat are what we clear. Here the rain runs about 54 inches a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months. Storm and wind seasons, and hurricane season across Florida, can move both dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the gutters faster, and clogged gutters push water over the edge in a hard rain, which is how water damage starts on the siding below. Between cleanings, needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust on the window frames and sills faster than the rest, so we rinse the frames to remove dirt before the glass. We see these on our jobs and tell you on the first visit which of them your lot needs.
A window and gutter visit usually covers the same ground the first time. Regular cleanings keep that haze from building up. What you see between visits is what we look for: a haze on the glass you only notice when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in a hard rain. Both mean it is time to call, and the cleaning solutions we use are the same ones we bring to every house on the schedule, so nothing changes between visits. Our crew sends photos of each run so you can compare.
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 for residential properties across On Top of the World, and our crew knows the streets well enough to schedule service without a long wait on a busy week. Booking starts with a phone call or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a window and a rough quote. Our typical lead time for an open slot is a programmatic field we fill in when we confirm the date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we always call before we arrive. When the calendar fills, usually in the two busy windows of the year, we hold the earliest open date for the customers who called first, so you know when we can reach you. The method is the same for a residential and commercial job, and the crew handles multi-story buildings with a boom or scissor lift where a ladder cannot reach. Professional window cleaning here means the same routine on every house, and it starts with the gutters. We bring the same care to every window, from a small kitchen pane to a sill on the second floor, and we treat every residential window the same way. Clean glass and clear gutters also help the curb appeal of the house, and the crew treats the front of it as carefully as the back.
Yes, the same two people do both on residential properties, in one visit. Gutters come first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing those, because the same two stories can cost more or less depending on what is in the gutters and how many panes there are. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and the window count for the unit.
Yes, if the outside is what you see most. Outside glass carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the windows inside never see, and cleaning it keeps the view clear whatever the inside looks like.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up and before water damage can start at a clogged gutter. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down the wall and across the panes below, so it has to be washed again.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job, so they are not billed separately. Tracks are included in the same visit.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Text a photo of the house front if you have any questions before we come.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
