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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our Niles customers usually book this work in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest, and we handle it on the same schedule every time.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter work as two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so there is nothing to add at the door.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are usually the same ones. A third story or a roof too steep to walk changes how long the crew spends on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take more time to rinse and dry. Clogged gutters that nobody has opened in years, packed with seeds and leaves, take longer to clear than a run that was cleaned last fall. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it. Grime that has built up on the frames for years also takes longer to wipe than a light film does.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Our crew handles these washing services the same way every time, and the regular cleanings on a repeat booking follow the same steps. Customers often ask about interior and exterior glass together, but this quote covers the exterior only.
To get an exact number, text us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you what the crew expects to find before anyone books a date, and the price for window cleaning services and gutter work comes back as one number.
| 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 |

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 Niles customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and seed paste packed into the gutters, and the window and gutter work is done before the heavy growth starts. In fall the leaf load sets the pace, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a run under ice if it is left until winter.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass need a longer visit, and a run that overflows every storm is how water damage starts at the fascia. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than most. On those houses we tell you early that the schedule should be tighter.
Watch for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. We will tell you what we see at each visit, and we will tell you when a problem is not a cleaning problem.
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 book Niles houses by phone or text, starting with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so those are the times to call early. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text your stories and a photo, and we will give you the lead time when you ask.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew calls before they come, works outside, and does not come inside the house. Our crews offer professional window cleaning services for residential windows, and they reach every window on the outside of the home, including the sill. We set up for the schedule you choose.
We run our crew as a full-service cleaning services group for Niles homeowners, and we know that good curb appeal depends on clean glass and clear gutters working together. The crew cleans with a water-fed pole and purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left on the pane. This page is about houses. If you are asking about residential and commercial buildings, text us and we will tell you whether the same crew fits the job.
Yes. The same two people do both jobs in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps dirty runoff from landing on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, so call or text us your stories and a rough window count.
On residential properties in Niles, the outside carries rain dust, leaf grit and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the glass between visits, so the outside is usually where the haze comes from.
Our customers here book in spring and fall, when leaves are heaviest. If you miss those windows, call (866) 435-6328 anyway and we will tell you when the crew can come. If your home is a condo, mention that when you call, since the gutters and exterior glass may not be yours to clean.
No, because the gutters are cleared first and the glass is cleaned last. Before the glass is touched, the crew will remove dirt from the runs and flush the downspouts, so nothing washes down across the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included on the outside of the house.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. The windows inside the house stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing, so ask us about those separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
