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 runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Evergreen Park jobs, most customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the 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.
We price the bundle by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking gutters and exterior glass together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count and we will confirm it before the crew is scheduled.
Several things move the quote, and most of them show up as soon as the crew sees the house. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the boom or scissor lift and more setup, and this page covers houses rather than multi-story buildings. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes, which take longer to reach and to rinse cleanly. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since cleaning will remove dirt but will not remove the mineral marks, and we tell you about it on the visit rather than during the job. Cleaning solutions, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Evergreen Park visit, the number moved mostly because of window count and the gutter run behind a sunroom, which the crew had to clear from the second story. The price we gave on the phone covered that, and the invoice matched it. For an exact figure, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will tell you what we will charge before anyone is on a ladder. Our window washing and washing services cover the exterior glass only, and we keep the job to what we quoted.
Our window cleaning services are built around the grime that builds up outside, and most of our residential window cleaning is done as regular cleanings rather than one-time jobs. We do not clean interior and exterior glass on the same visit, so if you want the inside done, that is a separate arrangement. We also do not do pressure washing on this visit. Picture windows are usually the largest single line on a quote, and we say so up front.
| 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 Evergreen Park customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen drops and once in the fall after the leaves come down. That rhythm is why one crew in one visit makes sense for a window and gutter job.
In spring, a yellow film settles on south-facing glass and paste packs into the gutters and the elbows of the downspouts. In fall, the leaf load is the main problem, since clogged gutters back up into a wet mat that can pull hangers loose and cause water damage at the eaves if it sits through the winter. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates in either direction, so we watch the weather and call before we come rather than working to a calendar date alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters full between visits, and in those cases customers are on every three or four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need more attention than a regular pass. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass and in the runs. If none of those apply, a yearly fall visit is often enough.
The first sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, especially on the west side of the house. The first sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, it is time to book.
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 works on residential properties across Evergreen Park, and booking is simple. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring period and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. Spring and fall fill up first, so an early call gets you the day you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners work outside the house, so you can keep going about your day while we are on the ladders.
This page covers residential jobs only, since residential and commercial glass is priced differently. We provide professional window cleaning for homes that want the glass to look right all year, and for many homeowners the gutters and windows together are the simplest way to protect curb appeal. Our cleaning services are scheduled, so you know when we are coming. If your windows are high, we bring the lift. If you have many panes, we plan the route around the house so every window gets done in one pass. We will sill-wipe each window you ask us to cover, and we will tell you if a sill needs more than a wipe.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so runoff does not land on clean windows.
We do not give a figure in writing without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we confirm it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or text before we book. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
Yes, because the outside takes the brunt of tree dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots in Evergreen Park. Those build up on the exterior glass whether or not the inside is clean.
Most of our customers here book in the spring after the yellow dust settles and in the fall after the leaves come down. Those are the two windows when the glass and runs need the most work.
No. We clean the gutters first, flush the downspouts, and give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass. Doing it in the other order is how the glass gets dirty twice.
Screens and sills are part of the job. We rinse screens and wipe sills as we go. Tracks are included in the visit as well, and we will tell you if one needs more than a wipe.
No. On this visit we clean exterior glass only, so windows inside are not part of the job. We do not do pressure washing either, and if you want the inside done, that is a separate arrangement we can discuss.
You do not need to be home. Turn your sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
