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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Our crew has been on Glenview houses through every spring and fall season, and that is when most of our customers here book.
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 on the phone is the number on the invoice. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer, and multi-story buildings with more gutter runs take more time again. Count matters: every window on the outside adds time, and oversized panes add more. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hours than a run cleared every season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate concern, and 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 the exact number. Tell us the stories, give us a rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. Quotes for condos work the same way, with the front photo first. A customer's house with a lot of tree cover over the roof and sprinklers hitting the glass is a different job from an open lot, and that difference shows up in the quote before the truck leaves. Downspouts that run toward a window well or a patio get flagged in the photos we send. The crew carries its own cleaning solutions and water, so nothing is needed from you on the day. We keep the price tied to what we see, which is why we ask for the photo first.
Window washing on the outside is the bulk of the glass work, and the gutters are the bulk of the roof work. Our crew handles both as one set of washing services in a single visit. Our window cleaning services and the gutter cleaning services share one ladder setup, which is where the bundle saving comes from. When we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts, the runoff that comes off that work is what we keep off the glass by doing the gutters first. Sprinkler spotting and the grime on south-facing glass are what we see every season, and the crew works to remove dirt from the pane before it bakes on.
| 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, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, and that is the twice-a-year rhythm most people settle into for regular cleanings. The spring visit comes after the seed drop, and the fall visit comes after the leaves are down and before the first hard freeze.
On our jobs, the spring visit finds the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packed into the gutters. The fall visit finds the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat that sags the runs by winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. A roof with heavy tree cover needs it because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass needs it for the spots that come back a day later, and those spots are mineral, not dirt. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on its glass than a quiet street does, and big picture windows show it first. A house with few or no trees and no sprinkler spotting is well served by one visit a year in late fall.
You will see the sign windows need a cleaning as haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will see the sign gutters need a cleaning as water sheeting over the edge during rain. Either sign is a good reason to call, and a single visit covers every window and gutter on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house to book a date.
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 work across Glenview on residential properties, and as one of the window cleaners who also run gutter service, every residential window on the outside gets done on the same visit. Our crew provides professional window cleaning and gutter service as a single job, which is how most of our customers in this part of Illinois book it. The estimate comes by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you what the job looks like and when we can come. Estimates for residential and commercial jobs both start the same way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills during those weeks. Book early in those windows if you can. Lead time outside them is shorter. To schedule service, call or text, and our crew calls before we come; nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The job covers gutters and downspouts plus the exterior glass, including the sills and frames, which is most of a house's curb appeal. Clogged gutters that have been left through a wet season can show water damage on the fascia and the wall below, and we photograph that and report it. We do not promise same-day or next-day service unless the schedule in your area says so when you call.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on panes we have already cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, not from a fixed figure. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number before the crew is scheduled.
On a Glenview house the outside carries most of the grime: film on the south-facing glass, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. Inside glass collects far less of that, so clean windows on the outside are where the visible haze builds up.
Across Illinois, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. Those are the windows when the crew can clear the runs and glass cleanly.
Not if the order is right. We do the gutters first and the glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water under a run come down the wall and across any window below it. If the glass is washed first, it has to be washed again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and the frames are wiped too. Tracks that need more than a wipe are called out in the photos before we start.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are. Quotes for interior and exterior glass are always two separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
