The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Gutters go first so the grit and black water from the runs never lands on clean glass. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. On our Huntley jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, when the 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.
Our window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing alone is quoted the same way, and our washing services follow the same count.
On our jobs, the quote moves with what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and 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. Heavy grime on the glass, runoff staining the siding under a gutter that overflows, and a row of condos sharing one gutter run all add time, and the crew will remove dirt by hand where a rinse will not do. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our phone estimates hold when the house matches what the customer described. When it does not, the crew writes the change down before starting, so the invoice matches the quote. Text a photo of the front of the house and a rough window count to start, or call (866) 435-6328 and book a date while we are on the line.

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 residential and commercial customers book both twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The spring visit lands in late May to June across Illinois, and in Huntley the fall visit falls in late October to November.
In late spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. By fall the leaf load is what we find in the runs, and the wet leaf mat is what sags under ice if it is left over winter. Across Illinois, summer derechos and severe thunderstorms can move the dates a few weeks in either direction. The crew uses purified water on the glass, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to dry as residue.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a location near a busy road or construction tend to need a third visit. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning, which tells us the line needs adjusting. Our crew keeps regular cleanings on the calendar for these houses so the buildup never gets ahead of the work.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows on the interior and exterior glass only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in 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.
Our crew has cleaned across Huntley, and we work with homeowners on single-family houses and townhouses alike. We are a company of professional window cleaning crews, and our window cleaners bring the same boom or scissor lift, the same water-fed pole and the same purified water to every job. For houses with three or more stories, our crew is set up for multi-story buildings.
Booking starts with a phone or text estimate using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so the earlier you call in those months, the sooner the crew can reach you. We watch for water damage and clogged gutters when we are on the roof and report them plainly rather than selling a repair.
Our cleaning services are scheduled around the house, not the other way round. If your schedule is tight, tell us the days you can be reached, and we will confirm the slot in writing. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, and windows inside are not part of this visit.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the grit and black water from the runs off the clean glass.
We do not give a figure here; the number comes from your stories and approximate window count. Send those by text or call (866) 435-6328 and we give you the number on the phone.
On a residential window in Huntley, the outside carries the dust film, rain grit and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks hazy even when the inside is clean. Outside cleaning is what gives you clean windows again and a clear view through the pane.
The spring visit lands in late May to June across Illinois, and in Huntley the fall visit falls in late October to November. Schedule service early in those months to get a slot before the calendar fills.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so every window gets washed one time. If the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again once the runs are cleared.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job on residential properties. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from outside.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or pressure wash here, and if you need either we will tell you who to ask.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
