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 washes back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Bensenville jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, once the leaf drop is done. Tell us your stories and window count and we will give you the number on the phone.
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 and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing is priced the same way. Plenty of window cleaners quote by pane alone, but gutter work changes the time on the roof, so we price the whole house.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a steep roof means a professional window cleaning crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, which changes the setup. Window count matters, and so do picture windows, which are large and take more care. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: it sits in the glass and no regular cleaning removes it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. We do not bill them as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of this price. If clogged gutters are the reason a run is overflowing, we clear them and flush the downspout until it runs clear. If we find water damage behind a run, we photograph it and show you before we leave.
The fastest way to get an exact number is to send us a text with the stories and a rough window count, plus a photo of the front of the house. We have quoted curb appeal jobs and multi-story buildings the same way, and it keeps the quote tied to what is actually on the house.
| 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 Bensenville book both gutters and the residential window work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf mat builds up in the gutters and the wet leaves start to sag the runs before winter.
Regular cleanings catch most of it. On our Bensenville jobs, houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is the other common reason for a third visit, since the spots it leaves come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more grime between visits.
The sign that you are due for clean windows is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Once we have seen the house, we tell you which schedule fits its lot, and you can schedule service by text or by calling (866) 435-6328.
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 Bensenville, and we can book a slot once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our crew calls before they come, so you know when to expect them, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. In the two busy windows of the year, when the leaf drop peaks, our calendar fills faster, so booking early helps.
We handle washing services for residential properties, and the same crew takes on residential and commercial buildings. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house. Grime, runoff from the roof and dirt that builds up on the sill all get dealt with in the same visit. We remove dirt from the frames, rinse the screens and clear the gutters and downspouts so the water has somewhere to go. Condos get the same treatment, one visit covering the whole building.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the earliest slot and the number for your place.
Yes, the same two people do both on our jobs. We clean the gutters first and the glass last in one visit, so nothing washes back onto the windows. Booking both together is cheaper than two separate trips.
We do not quote a number here because it depends on the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the number on the phone.
On our Bensenville jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: spring dust from the trees, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Interior and exterior cleaning are different work, and we only do the exterior glass on this visit, which is where the buildup usually is.
Across Illinois, the spring visit falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November. Those are the windows we book before the first hard freeze, so the runs are clear before the cold sets in.
No, we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. We do not bill them as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing, so the glass and frames on the outside are what we handle.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked. You do not need to buy cleaning solutions or set anything out, because the crew brings what it needs.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
