Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work on Newell homes every spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with debris and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Newell jobs the window washing and the gutters are usually done in one morning on a two-story house, and regular cleanings run shorter, while the ones that take longer are the ones with heavy grime on the glass and a lot of debris in the runs. Our crew sees the washing services for a house as one job, which is why the window cleaning services and the gutter work sit on one invoice. A house with a lot of glass takes a few more minutes per pane, and that is reflected in the estimate before anyone climbs a ladder. Interior and exterior window work is priced separately, and this visit covers the exterior glass only.
A house with a lot of debris in the gutters and a few windows with sprinkler spots gets a quote that reflects the extra time, and the estimate is given from the stories and window count, with a photo of the front of the house sent by text. For your own quote, send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you the number before anyone is scheduled.

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 Newell customers book both twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season and once in the fall after the leaves are down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the window and gutter work. In spring the pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as paste, and in fall the leaf load is what clogs the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates by a few weeks, and we call before we come.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, multi-story buildings with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction need a third visit. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and tree debris is what the gutters fill with between visits. A house with a lot of glass and a lot of rain running off it can need the runoff checked more than the glass. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the gutter material, and for the residential and commercial buildings we see the schedule follows the same logic.
On a house with no trees and a normal roof, one visit a year in late fall is usually enough, and it keeps the curb appeal of the house up through winter. The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. Clogged gutters are the first thing we check, and a lot of the time they are the cause of water damage on the fascia that shows up later.
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 cleans gutters and windows on residential properties across Newell, including condos, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Book early in those windows if you can, because we are often full for several weeks. Outside those windows, schedule service is easier to get, and our cleaning services can usually be booked within a short lead time, which we confirm when you call. We are one of the professional window cleaning crews working the area, and we keep the crew small so each job gets the same person on the ladder.
To get started, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you an estimate. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so the sprinklers can be turned off and the cars moved. Every window on the outside of the house is included in the estimate, and the sill and the screen on each one are part of the visit. Our crew keeps the schedule tight so you know when to expect us and what the day will look like.
Yes, our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote you the same number we charge.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window collects dust, rain film and sprinkler spots between visits. On a Newell house the outside glass is where most of the grime sits, even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our Newell customers book in late May to June across Illinois, and again in late October to November, after the leaves are down. Booking in those windows is the simplest way to keep the calendar open for you.
No, because we clear the gutters before we touch the glass. Washing the glass first means someone has to remove dirt from it a second time once the runs are cleared, so the order is gutters first and glass last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing. If you want the inside done, that is a separate job we can point you to.
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.
