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 runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this combined service in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories with a photo of the house front.
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, and booking gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. Our window cleaning services and washing services are quoted from the same count, so window washing and the gutter work land on one invoice. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Ask whether you need interior and exterior glass when you call, since this visit covers the outside only.
Across Illinois, the houses that take the most time are the ones with a lot of glass and a lot of grime built up since the last visit, so a regular cleanings schedule keeps each visit shorter. For the exact number, the fastest route is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Our crew uses that to work out the window count and gutter runs before they quote, so you get a real figure instead of a guess. Send the photo, and we will reply with the number and what it covers.
| 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.
Most of our customers book this combined service twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Illinois, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in Moraine Township usually falls in late October to November. Gutters and windows are cleaned on the same calendar because the same things build up on both, which is why window and gutter cleaning runs as one booking.
On our jobs, the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters in the spring. Clogged gutters are the first thing the crew checks in spring, because that paste holds water against the fascia. In the fall the leaf load and wet debris are what we pull out of the runs. Around Moraine Township the wettest months are May, June and August, with about 39 inches of precipitation a year, and clogged gutters that overflow in those months can lead to water damage along the fascia and the wall below. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, and we adjust the booking when that happens.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often under heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit keep collecting between visits, and where a sprinkler line hits the glass, leaving the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house beside a busy road or an active construction site also tends to need more frequent visits. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach, which is why we price them by stories. Questions about residential and commercial sites go to the same phone line, so ask when you call.
Windows need a cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Our crew can cover cleaning solutions for the glass and the runs as part of the visit, so you do not have to plan anything extra for either 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 provides professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services across Moraine Township, and the service is aimed at residential properties and buildings that want the outside of the glass and the gutters handled in one visit. Booking is straightforward: call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate and a date.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the better your chance at a slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. On each visit the crew clears the gutters and downspouts first, then moves to the glass to remove dirt that the season left behind.
Our window cleaners work from the ground and a boom or scissor lift where the building calls for it, and they reach every window the building has on the outside. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. If you want a schedule service that keeps the glass and the gutters on a regular plan, tell us when you call and we will set it up around your calendar.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit, and that window and gutter cleaning is one job on one invoice. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the dirty runs are finished before the windows are touched.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with the figure.
Yes. The outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up on residential properties here, and a residential window collects most of that film on the outside. Runoff from the roof and gutters carries grime onto the glass, and cleaning windows inside does not touch any of it, so outside cleaning is what lets us remove dirt from the panes.
Across Illinois, our customers book in the spring and in the fall, after the pollen season and after the leaves drop. If you live in one of the condos here, tell us when you call so we can check access before the visit.
No, that is the reason we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black water from a run come down the wall, so the glass has to come after. Clogged gutters that overflow can also cause water damage to the fascia below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No, this visit is exterior only. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
