Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing dripping from the roofline lands on clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and in fall.
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 price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the outside glass together in one visit costs less than booking two separate cleanings, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Text a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count, and we send a written estimate before we book a date.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and high sill lines add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes gets flagged on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions for frames and sills are included, and interior and exterior glass are priced separately, since this visit covers the exterior only.
Our crew handles residential and commercial jobs, and the pricing logic is the same across all of our cleaning services: stories, size and what is in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo and we will tell you what the job looks like before anyone climbs a ladder.

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 Loves Park customers book both twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen drop and once in the fall after the leaves come down. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Two separate visits from two different window cleaners would take twice the calendar time.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall we find the wet leaf mat, which is what sags a run before the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around them rather than on a fixed day.
Some houses need regular cleanings between the two main visits. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and we see those customers on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need more frequent passes. A house near a busy road or active construction takes dust on the glass faster than most, so it lands on the calendar more often as well. An overflowing run can also lead to water damage at the fascia, so a clogged gutter is worth a call before the next rain.
Watch for two signs between visits. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Either one is a reason to call, and we will tell you which of the signs applies to your house. The crew does not touch windows inside the house on this visit, so a haze on that side of the glass needs a separate job.
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 offers professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning across Loves Park, and the booking process is the same for every house. You call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your story count, and we send a written estimate. Once you approve the number, we book a date, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we do need the side gate unlocked.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and clean glass does the most for curb appeal in both. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the sooner you book, the better your chance of getting the date you want. Schedule service with us early in those months and you will have a firm date before the calendar tightens.
We clean residential properties and commercial buildings, and we give every window the same attention, whether it is a residential window in a bedroom or the glass on multi-story buildings. The sill and the frame get wiped on every window we clean, and we clean windows from the outside only on this visit. Ask for the window and gutter cleaning estimate by phone or text and we will confirm the lead time when we call back.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared first so the runoff never reaches the clean glass.
The number depends on stories and window count, so we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote the window cleaning services and gutter work together.
On our Loves Park jobs the outside carries grime, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, which the windows inside never see. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear without touching the interior, and it helps remove dirt before it builds up on the frames.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the spring bloom and after the leaves come down.
Not when we run the job. The gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, the wall gets a few minutes to drain, and only then does anyone touch the glass. The order is the reason for the bundle.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, on houses and condos alike. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not pressure wash on this visit. If you need other washing services, ask when you book.
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 the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
