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 falls back onto clean panes. 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. Across Illinois, most of our customers book spring and fall visits, and we have cleaned glass and gutters on houses across the state for years.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing later.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Window count and oversized picture windows add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since no window cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This price covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior window work gets its own quote.
To get your exact number, tell us the stories and a rough window count, or text a photo of the front of the house. Our window cleaning services cover the outside glass, the window washing itself, and the grime that builds up between cleanings, and our washing services for the gutters are priced in the same quote. Most customers who book regular cleanings keep pollen and rain dust off the glass and keep the gutters flowing. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and we will send a written estimate the same day.

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, most customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew doing the window and gutter work in a single visit makes sense. What we find at each visit depends on the season. Pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as paste in the gutters, and the leaf load builds up through fall. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit. Spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually sprinkler minerals, and houses near busy roads or construction collect more grime between visits. One sign that windows need attention is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. One sign that gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Windows inside the house are a separate visit, not part of this one.
Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage at the fascia, so we clear them before the rains of each season. Cleaning solutions are only part of it; the glass needs purified water and the frames need wiping too. Residential and commercial properties follow the same calendar, and multi-story buildings often need the boom or scissor lift on the second visit. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date that fits the season.
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 works across Palos Heights on residential properties and books through a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and the busy windows in spring and fall fill our calendar first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our cleaning services cover the outside of every window and the gutters and downspouts, and we handle the work the way window cleaners do on a professional window cleaning job, with purified water and a water-fed pole for the upper stories. We clean every residential window we can reach from the ground or the lift, including the sill and the screen frames. Your curb appeal depends on the glass and the gutters together, so the two are done on one schedule. To book your visit, schedule service by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the roofline.
Yes. Our window and gutter cleaning is one visit by the same two-person crew, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any work starts.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window takes pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on residential properties and condos alike.
Across Illinois, spring visits usually run late May to June and fall visits November to early December, and we can tell you the open slot for your house on the call.
No. We do gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so any runoff is cleared before a window is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned, and we remove dirt from each part as part of the job, with no separate charge.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 with any questions.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
