Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit here in East Peoria. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff never reaches 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. Our East Peoria customers most often book this work in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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.

The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we will give you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add glass to clean. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with leaves and grit, take longer to clear, and gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get to the exact number. We ask how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows it carries, and whether there are any picture windows or covered runs. Then we look at the photo and make the call. Cleaning solutions are not billed separately, and the water we use is purified, so the glass dries without residue. For a business property the same questions apply. Multi-story buildings are quoted per building, so one with several entrances and residential and commercial units is quoted as its own job.
| 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 East Peoria customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and winter grit packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is heavy, and that is the visit that stops water from sheeting over the edge in the first wet weather. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we keep the calendar flexible. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those houses are on a three to four month rhythm. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag that on the first visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up haze faster than one on a quiet street. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the glass from building up, and regular cleanings keep each visit quick. Clogged gutters are the thing to watch, because a blocked run is the first step toward water damage at the fascia.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it 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 does window and gutter cleaning across East Peoria, from older homes with steep roofs to condos and newer residential properties with large glass fronts. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once you approve the number, we schedule the visit and call before we arrive. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew stays outside and sends photos of every run and every window when the job is done.
Two windows of the year fill our calendar faster than any others: the late spring season and the late fall leaf drop. If you want a slot in either window, text us early and we will hold a date for you. Every residential window on the outside of the house gets the same treatment, sills and frame included, so you get the whole picture of the glass, not just the front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the crew and we will confirm the day and time.
Yes. Our washing services put the same two people on both jobs, and they work gutters first and glass last in one visit. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean windows below.
We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, which we get by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the figure before the crew comes out.
On our East Peoria jobs the outside carries most of the grime: dust in spring, rain spatter, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Interior glass is a separate matter, and we do not clean the windows inside on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Those are the two windows when leaves and dust are heaviest, so text us early if you want a particular date.
Not when the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so nothing runs down onto a pane we have already finished.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job, which is how we remove dirt before it can wash back onto the glass. Those are not billed as extras. We also flush the downspouts so runoff does not carry grime down the wall.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need interior and exterior glass done together, tell us when you call and we will say what we can add.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
