Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this for the spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest 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.
Our washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings and residential properties take longer as the stories stack up, and if you ask for interior and exterior glass, that is quoted separately from exterior-only work. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Getting the exact number is simple. Send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a written estimate. Regular cleanings keep the cost lower over time, because a gutter cleared every season is far quicker than one left to pack solid, and a window wiped twice a year needs less work than one with grime built up over a full year.
| 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.
Across Illinois, most of our customers book a window and gutter visit twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense.
In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load is what fills the gutters and downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we watch the calendar against the weather rather than a fixed schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day after cleaning), and a house near a busy road or construction all tend to need one more pass during the year. Cleaning solutions alone will not remove mineral spots, and clogged gutters left too long can start water damage at the fascia.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters show water sheeting over the edge during 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.
Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the price and a date. Our crews are professional window cleaners, and our window cleaning services cover the gutters and glass in one run. Professional window cleaning and gutter work happen in one visit, so you deal with one company, not two.
Spring and fall are the busy windows, when the leaf load fills the calendar fastest. Book early in those months if you want a set date. Nobody needs to be home for our cleaning services, which are exterior work, and we call before we come, so the crew never shows up unannounced.
We cover Berwyn as a whole, and the same order of work applies to residential and commercial exteriors. We schedule service around each house, so the earlier you call, the better your slot. Once your date is set, the crew arrives on time and works from the gutters down to the sill on every window, rinsing frames and screens to remove dirt before the glass dries. A clean roofline and clear glass do a lot for curb appeal.
Yes. Our crew does both gutters and exterior windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. You get one company and one set of photos before we leave.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and condos are priced the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will send a written estimate.
On the houses we clean in Berwyn, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean inside glass does not stop that film from building on the exterior.
Across Illinois, most customers book in spring and fall, when the leaf load is heaviest. Booking early in those months gives you a better slot.
Not with our order of work. Runoff from the gutters and downspouts is cleared and flushed first, the wall is given time to drip off, and only then do we touch the glass, so nothing runs back onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and every residential window gets that same pass. They are not billed as separate line items.
Not on this visit. We clean exterior glass only, and the windows inside the house are not part of the job. Pressure washing is not part of this visit either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and text us a photo of the roofline if you have questions. Call (866) 435-6328 to set a date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
