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 dirty runs down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew does this work for homeowners across Illinois every spring and fall, and it is how we would want our own house done.
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, and the two jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more work than a light run. 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 it is flagged separately.
Most of the quotes we write for Danville houses start with a photo of the front of the house and a count of stories, texted to us before we visit. The window washing side of the job covers the outside glass only, while the gutter side covers every run and every downspout. Professional window cleaning on a house like this is mostly about getting the glass clean without leaving streaks, and that depends on how much is caked on the frame and sill. Clogged gutters are the other half. Once water backs up and sits behind the fascia, it can start water damage that shows up long after the rain stops, which is why we look at the runs before we quote. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal on a house that faces the street. Call (866) 435-6328, text us a photo of the front with the story count, or book a date, and we will give you a firm number before we come out.

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 gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the outside of a house. The spring visit falls late May to June and the fall visit late October to November.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass of each residential window we reach, and the cleaning services we do then clear it before it runs down the siding. In fall the leaf load is the main job, a wet mat in the gutters that sags under the first hard frost. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little either way, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit on top of the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or construction picks up extra grime. We see these conditions often enough to plan for them.
Windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Either sign is a good reason to schedule service.
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 residential properties across Danville, and the same crew takes residential and commercial jobs, working the whole city rather than one side of it. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we return a quote the same day we get the photo. The lead time on a slot depends on the season, and we tell you the first open day when we call back. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you want a fall slot, book before the leaves start dropping. Our crew also handles washing services and window cleaning services for condos and multi-story buildings, with the same order on every job: gutters and downspouts first, glass last. A house with a sill or a row of picture windows gets the same attention on each window, and the remove dirt step goes into the runoff path where it belongs. Every window and gutter run gets photographed, so you can see what changed.
Yes, the same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then the outside glass, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job before we come out.
It can be worth it, because the outside of a Danville house collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside glass never sees. Exterior cleaning takes that film off the glass, the frame and the sill in one visit. The difference shows in the first sunny week after the visit.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June and again in late October or November. Those are the two windows where pollen and leaves are heaviest, so booking then keeps the job simple.
No, gutters first and glass last is the reason. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the windows wait until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, with the cleaning solutions we use on the frames. Tracks are included on the outside of the house, and nothing on this list is billed as an extra.
Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the outside only. Interior glass is not included, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
