The same two people who clean your gutters clean the outside of your windows, in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Give us the number of stories and an approximate window count and we price both jobs together, which costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are at their worst. Use the estimator above, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through it.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. For a residential window count, the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which no cleaning removes. Our window washing uses purified water on a pole, so the glass dries clean and the spotting from mineral water is the one thing we tell you about before we start. Our crew is glad to give a fixed figure for the whole house once it has seen the front and the back.
Gutters, screens and sills are only part of what the crew does. Frames and sills get mild cleaning solutions, and the glass gets purified water only. The same crew also handles the washing services you would expect on a residential house, and the window cleaning services are the same hand-done work on every pane we reach. If the glass carries grime or a fine film, we see it on the picture windows first, because the light hits them hardest. Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass on the same quote, and this visit covers the exterior only. Most of our New Lenox customers book the regular cleanings on the same schedule, so the price stays the same from one visit to the next.
To get your exact number, count your stories, estimate the windows, and text us a photo of the front of the house. Our window cleaners will reply with the number and what it covers, and then you decide. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and ask for a written estimate.

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, our customers book the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, with spring visits in late May to June and fall visits in late October to November, and that is what we see on the houses we clean. In spring the pollen film is on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste is packed in the gutters, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In fall it is the leaf load and the clogged gutters, plus the runoff that pools in the sagging runs.
Under heavy tree cover, our customers are on every three to four months, because the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. On houses with few trees, once a year is usually enough. A sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road, usually needs a third visit to keep up with the spotting.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain, because a backed-up run can push water damage into the fascia. Either one, book a visit and we will tell you what we find.
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.
The crew cleans residential properties and condos across New Lenox, and our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year. To schedule service, book early in spring and fall, and we will give you a date as soon as the lead time allows. Booking works like this: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm the quote and a slot the same way.
Nobody needs to be home while our window cleaners work outside. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside. For residential and commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings, we schedule the visit around the tenants, and the same professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning service applies. Clean glass changes curb appeal fast, so most of our customers ask us to do every window on the house in one visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Send us the count by phone or text and we will give you a figure.
On our New Lenox residential window jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those do most of the damage to how the glass looks. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt that the rain leaves behind.
Our New Lenox customers book in spring and fall. Across Illinois, the same two windows are the busiest.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, so anything from the gutters is cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job on the windows we reach, and the crew rinses screens and wipes sills before it leaves.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing.
No. 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.
