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 falls back onto clean panes. We price by story count and window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Illinois, most customers book in spring and fall, after the seed drop and before the leaves come down. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328.
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 window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and our washing services are quoted as one job for each house size. To get a starting point, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder, and runoff from a steep roof means more rinsing at the wall. A single residential window is quick, but a high window count, or picture windows and oversized panes, means more glass per visit. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, cost more time than a light run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras billed later, and we remove dirt from the frames on the same pass.
Across Illinois, the number that matters for our window cleaning services is the one we quote from your stories and window count. Condos and other residential properties are quoted the same way, from the story count and a photo of the front. Send a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us how many stories it has, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone is scheduled. For a city example, we can tell you what moved the quote on a Jacksonville job once we have a documented case to share. Until then, the fastest way to an exact number is the photo and the story count.

|---|---|---|---|
| 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, most customers book regular cleanings of their window and gutter work twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs, the spring visit lands after the seed and pollen drop finishes, when a film of tree dust sits on south-facing glass and seed paste packs the gutters. The fall visit lands after the leaves drop and before the first hard freeze, when the wet leaf mat has built up in the runs.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring the pollen film is thick enough to see from the sidewalk on every window that faces the street, and the downspout elbows are packed. In fall it is the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by late winter. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we schedule from what the house needs rather than the calendar alone. Our crew rinses with purified water, so the glass dries clean without harsh cleaning solutions.
Some houses need more cleanings than the usual two. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than most, and picture windows show it first. Those are the cases where we suggest a third visit, and we tell you why after the first visit rather than selling it up front.
Two signs tell you the windows need attention sooner than planned: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the gutter edge in rain. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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 book residential and commercial window cleaning and gutter work across Jacksonville and the surrounding area, and the estimate starts with a phone call or a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a written estimate. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the seed and leaf loads peak, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and interior and exterior glass are always quoted separately. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. Our crew handles multi-story buildings and residential properties alike, and we work with professional window cleaning standards on every job, from the first run of gutters to the last pane of glass.
Cleaning services like this one protect curb appeal and prevent water damage, especially when clogged gutters send water against the siding. We are one of the window cleaners in the area who do both jobs in one visit, which keeps the schedule and the cost down for you.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the work runs in one visit with one setup per side of the house.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the story count, and we will give you a written estimate by phone or text.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what dulls the glass: tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the inside alone leaves those on the pane, so clean windows depend on the outside, which is where the visible haze builds up.
Most of our customers book in spring, after the seed drop, and in fall, after the leaves drop. Booking in those windows gets you a slot sooner, since the calendar fills then.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the runs are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the window work, and none of it is billed as an extra line.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not do windows inside and we do not do pressure washing, so the outside of the glass and the gutters are the scope.
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, 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.
