Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Our customers in Belleville usually book us in the spring and again in the fall, when pollen and leaves have built up 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 gutter cleaning and window washing 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 you on the phone is the number we charge. Clean gutters and glass also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high window count take longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more hand clearing before the flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and cleaning will not remove it, which we note on the estimate so it is not a surprise. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Clogged gutters are the most common reason a quote goes up, because the water they hold is the first thing to spill onto siding and foundation. On houses with long runs of gutters, the crew often finds a few downspouts that need to be cleared from the outlet end before the glass goes on. On a house with a lot of glass, the glass goes faster when the gutters have already been cleared above it, which is why the order matters. Our crew checks for water damage at the fascia and soffit during the visit and photographs anything that needs a closer look, without selling a repair.
Here is how to get an exact number. Tell us the number of stories, give a rough window count, and text us a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you if the gutters and glass can be done in one visit, and what the bundle comes to.
| 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 in Belleville book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Illinois the pattern is the same: the spring cleaning comes after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall cleaning comes after the leaves are down.
At the spring visit, what we find on the glass is a film on south-facing windows and a paste packed into the gutters. At the fall visit it is the leaf load in the gutter troughs and the grit that settles on sills. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we schedule around the weather rather than the calendar. The difference shows fast on clean windows, so the glass is often the first thing owners notice.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the downspouts between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than one on a quiet street. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass also tend to show dirt sooner, because the upper panes are hard to see from the ground.
Keeping up with regular cleanings is the easiest way to catch both problems early. You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during 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 crew cleans gutters and windows across the city, and we book slots as the calendar opens up. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when seeds and leaves build up, our calendar fills faster. To schedule service in those months, call early and we will hold a slot.
Our service covers gutters and downspouts, the outside of every window, and the sills and screens that come with them. We clean residential window and gutter jobs, and we also do residential properties and condos. Our crew uses water to remove dirt, grime and runoff from the glass and the gutter troughs. We call before we arrive so you know when the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but you will get photos of every run and every window before the truck leaves.
We provide washing services and window cleaning services for homeowners who want the outside of the house done in one visit, and we know the difference between surface dirt and the mineral marks that need a separate treatment. The crew works with purified water and no cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the glass to dry as a film.
Yes. The same two people on our crew clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That keeps the runoff from the roof off the clean panes.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the building, and we quote residential and commercial jobs the same way, by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 once we know those two things.
On our jobs in Belleville the outside carries most of the dirt: dust, rain spotting, and sprinkler spots that land on the glass. Cleaning the outside alone is what most homeowners here choose, and it is what we do on this visit.
Most customers book in late spring, after the pollen drop, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. We schedule around storm seasons, so the exact date can shift.
Not if the gutters are cleared first. Runoff from a gutter that has not been cleaned runs down the wall and across the windows below it, so we clear the roof, the gutters and the downspouts before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, so those are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so windows inside are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing. Booking the interior and exterior together is a separate job.
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. Text (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
