The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass does not get dirty twice. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Florida, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and our crew has done that work on South Venice homes for years.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we give it after we know the stories and the window count, or after you text us a photo of the front of the house.
On our jobs, the quote moves for a handful of reasons. Multi-story buildings, a third story, or a roof too steep to walk take longer on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that need the boom or scissor lift. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Florida, the residential properties we clean are not all alike, so the way to get an exact number is simple: tell us the stories, the window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. Our crew reads the roofline from that photo, and the estimate comes back with the same figure we will invoice. For a home with trees over the roof, we ask about the tree cover too, because it is the thing that most often moves a quote between two houses that look the same from the street. Quoting by stories and window count works the same way for residential and commercial buildings, so the method does not change with the building type. We do not charge extra for a clean look at the glass, and we do not hold the quote for a visit. Clearing gutters and downspouts of runoff and the grime behind them is part of the same visit, and we remove dirt from the sills before we leave.
Condos with shared downspouts, and buildings with a row of picture windows, come up often when we talk about price, so tell us early. The window washing side of the job is the same work on every house; what changes is how many panes and how high. We give the window cleaning services and the gutter work one number, so the cost of each does not surprise you on the invoice. The washing services on the glass are priced the same way, by the window count and the stories.

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 South Venice customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and the cleanings are timed to the pollen and the leaf drop, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Florida, the pattern is the same: spring and fall, and the exact dates move with the weather.
In the spring, what we find on the glass is pollen. A film of it sits on south-facing windows, and it does not always rinse off, so the crew uses cleaning solutions on the frames when the film is stuck. In the gutters the pollen turns to a paste that packs the downspout elbows. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around them rather than on a fixed day. In the fall, the leaf load is the main thing we clear, and the wet leaf mat is heavy in the gutters on the houses we do not see every season.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need more attention than a regular clean. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass, and that needs a closer look at the frames and sills.
On a house with no trees and no sprinkler spotting, once a year is usually enough. On a house under heavy trees, we are back every three or four months. Those regular cleanings follow the tree drop, not the calendar. Our crew tells you which of those your house needs after the first visit, and we do not push a schedule on you that the glass does not need.
You will know the windows need cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain.
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 crew works across South Venice, and we book by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we set up the estimate and schedule service for a date. A residential window job is booked the same way as the gutter work. Our window cleaning services in South Venice are one call and one visit, with the gutter work priced alongside. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, and we tell you the first open slot when you call, so you know what to expect before you book.
The two busy windows are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during those weeks. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Clean glass and clear gutters are a big part of curb appeal, and that is why the spring weeks fill fast. For jobs off the busy weeks, we can usually get to the house sooner. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way and nobody is waiting outside the gate.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the outside of the house and does not come in, so the windows inside are not part of this visit. They send photos of each gutter run and every window before the truck leaves. Our professional window cleaning uses purified water on the glass, so the windows dry clean and the work holds between visits.
Some window cleaners who only do the glass often miss the gutters, and gutter crews who skip the glass leave the job half done, so one visit that covers both is the reason most of our customers book with us. We clean the gutters and the glass together, and the wet gutter water runs off before the glass is touched, so the work stays clean.
We see clogged gutters on most houses that come to us for a first visit, and the water damage that follows is usually behind the fascia, not on the glass. Our crew checks for it, takes photos, and tells you what we see on the day.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text from those details.
For most homes here, yes. Clean windows on the outside matter because the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots sit on the outside, and none of that comes off with an inside clean.
Most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall, and the crew calls you to set the date around the weather.
No. Gutters come first, glass last, so the runoff is down before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Cleaning windows inside is not part of this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and if you want interior and exterior glass done together, we quote the inside separately. We do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 to set up the visit, or text a photo of the roofline to get started.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
