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 dirty water from the roof never lands on panes we have already washed. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this in the spring and in the fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to book both, and we give you the number on the same call.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, so multi-story buildings are quoted before the crew is booked. Professional window cleaning and gutter work done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and clean gutters and glass do more for curb appeal than most owners expect. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, window counts that include oversized panes, clogged gutters that have sat for 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 will remove. Water damage that has already soaked into the siding is photographed and noted, not priced into the clean. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Illinois, the houses that take the longest are the ones where nobody has opened the gutters in years. The crew clears them, flushes every downspout until the water runs clear, and photographs each run before it leaves. Getting an exact number is simple: tell us the stories and the window count, or text a photo of the front of the house. Our crew also tells you when the hard-water spotting needs a separate treatment, so the price you are quoted already accounts for it. Window washing on a job like this is priced by the outside glass, and windows inside stay out of the quote, which keeps the number clear before anyone climbs a ladder.
| 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 runs late May to June and the fall visit runs October to early November. Most of our Little Rock customers book both, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Our cleaning services follow those two windows: the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packed in the gutters, and the fall visit catches the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs through the winter.
Some houses need a third visit. 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 close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the frames. For residential properties like these, we set up a schedule that suits the lot rather than the calendar. A residential window that catches the sprinkler spray gets the same attention as every window on the house, so ask us to schedule service around your sprinkler run.
You will know when clean windows are due: a haze that only shows when the sun is low is the sign. Water sheeting over the edge in a rain is the sign that clogged gutters need clearing. Regular cleanings keep the work short, and they keep the runoff from staining the siding below.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across the city, and the calls come in steadily from the older blocks with mature trees as well as the newer streets. Booking works the same way for window cleaning services and gutter washing services: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text or call at (866) 435-6328, and we give you an estimate on the same call. Lead time depends on the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, our slots fill faster. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know the arrival window. We also clean the commercial side of the business, including condos and multi-building properties with a steady grime problem, and the same crew handles both kinds of job.
Gutters and downspouts drain runoff away from the foundation, and when they are full the water runs down the wall and across the glass below. Clearing them and washing the windows in the same visit is how we remove dirt and stop that runoff from leaving marks on the clean glass.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first so the water from the roof never reaches the glass we have already washed.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and it works the same for residential and commercial jobs. Tell us those by phone or text and we give you the exact figure on the same call, and that is the figure on the invoice.
On our jobs here the outside carries most of the damage: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can look fine while the outside stays hazy in low sun.
Across Illinois, the spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs October to early November. Most of our customers here book in those windows, and booking early gets you the date you want.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed first, the wall has time to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and picture windows get the same treatment. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and none of it is billed as a separate line item.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing here, and we say so before the crew arrives.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
