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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across Florida, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and we keep the same schedule here in South Bradenton. Tell us your stories and a rough window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
Our washing services and window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Ask for it from your stories and window count, and we will tell you what it includes before anyone climbs a ladder.
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 instead of a ladder. More windows, and larger picture windows, take longer on the glass, and heavy grime takes more passes than a light film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we say so up front rather than billing for it as a fix. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This price covers the outside only, so the interior and exterior of the same window are never billed as one job, and a house that gets regular cleanings usually takes less time per visit than one that has waited years.
On a South Bradenton job the number that changed the quote was usually the window count, not the square footage. To get the exact figure, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, plus your stories and a rough count of the windows. From that we can usually tell you whether the window washing and the gutter cleaning belong in one visit or need a note about the glass on the back of the house.

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 of our customers book both twice a year, and the pattern holds for residential and commercial buildings alike. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense here. We do not give a schedule as advice from a manual; this is what we find on the jobs.
Across Florida the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April. By then the pollen has settled into a film on south-facing glass and into a paste in the gutters, so that visit is about getting it off before the summer rain washes it into the frames. The fall visit, usually November to December, catches the leaves once they have turned into a wet mat in the runs, and that is the one that stops water from sheeting over the edge through the winter. Hurricane season moves the dates a little across Florida, and we would rather book around a storm than clean the glass the day before a blow.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those are on a shorter cycle. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we add a visit to keep the build-up from setting. A run that backs water up under the eave is how water damage starts on the fascia and the wall below it. Multi-story buildings take longer on the upper runs, so we plan them as a longer visit rather than squeezing them into a morning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the frames, and that dust is what the rain carries down the wall. Where a film will not lift with water alone, the crew adds cleaning solutions suited to the glass and frame.
Windows need a cleaning when the glass looks hazy only at low sun, when you cannot see the view through it in the morning. Cleaning the windows inside does not help while the outside carries a film, so this visit is about the glass you see from the street. Gutters need a cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Clogged gutters are usually what sits behind that, because the run is full and the water has nowhere to go.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and exterior windows across South Bradenton, and the neighboring towns on our service list are linked below. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us your stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will give you the number before we schedule service. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we say what it is when you call rather than promising a slot we cannot keep.
The two busy windows are the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves arrive and our calendar fills with the same houses at the same time. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want. Outside them there is usually room, and an off-season visit can be easier to schedule. Clean glass and clear gutters are the quickest curb appeal a house can get, and every window on the outside gets the same pass, so the crew does not skip the ones you rarely look at.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of the gutters and the glass when the crew is done. Professional window cleaning and gutter work are booked on the same call, so there is one quote and one visit. For commercial buildings and condos the same booking process applies, and the schedule can be set around the property rather than a single house.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and downspouts and the exterior windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by the runs.
There is no figure I will give you without the house in front of us. The number comes from your stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked.
Usually yes for a residential window, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean glass on the inside does not help if the outside has a film on it.
Most of our residential properties here book in the spring and again in the fall, when the pollen and the leaves arrive. Book early in those months, because that is when the calendar fills.
Not if the order is right. Runoff from a dirty gutter comes down the wall and across any window below it, so we clear the gutters first and do the glass last.
The crew rinses screens, wipes sills and cleans frames as part of the exterior job, and none of it is billed as a separate extra. Rinsing screens helps remove dirt that would otherwise wash onto the glass in the next rain.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing as part of this bundle.
No, 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
