Yes, one crew of two handles both cleaning services for your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and the fall, when the leaves, grit and runoff build up the most. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have at (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number on the phone.
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. Booking both jobs in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Residential and commercial jobs are priced the same way, by stories and window count. We do not quote a price without those two details.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take longer to work safely. Oversized picture windows and a higher window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with seed and pollen paste, need more work in the runs and the downspouts. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and any cleaning solutions we use are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one Pingree Grove job, the quote went up because the house had two stories with a steep back roof, a large run of gutters that had not been opened in several seasons, and a row of picture windows across the back. We flushed each downspout until it ran clear and rinsed the sills as part of the same visit. The customer had asked for the outside of the house only, and that is what we did. For your own number, send a text with the front of the house, tell us the stories, and give us your window count. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and we only do exterior glass on this visit.
| 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.
Regular cleanings suit most of our Pingree Grove customers, who book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Spring visits clear the pollen film from south-facing glass and the paste from the gutters. Fall visits clear the leaf load before it packs into the downspouts and freezes. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, and we call before we come.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the gutters faster, so clogged gutters show up well before the next booking, and needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the glass. On our jobs, those are the houses that come back three or four times a year.
You will see when the windows need it. The haze shows up when the sun is low and you can see the film on the glass, and it is the first thing that hurts curb appeal. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain, which is the sign that the runs are full, and that overflow is how water damage starts at the fascia. Either one is a reason to book the next visit.
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 do window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Pingree Grove, and each residential window gets the same outside pass as the gutters. We keep a calendar that lets us schedule service around your house. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with your number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We will give you a window-by-window estimate and tell you the lead time for the next open slot. The two busy windows of the year follow the spring and leaf seasons, and the calendar fills quickly in those weeks.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive. Our professional window cleaning covers every window on the outside, checks the sill and frame on each one, and sends photos of the finished glass and each gutter run before the crew leaves. For clean windows, the outside is where most of the grime sits, and that is what we clean.
Yes, our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two-person crew in one visit. We clean the gutters first and then the glass, so the debris from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. We do not quote a figure before we know those details. Send a photo of the front of the house with your story count and window count for an exact number.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime here: rain dust, sprinkler spots and the film that sits on the glass. Our washing services start with the outside, where we remove dirt before the glass dries. The inside can be clean while the outside still looks hazy when the sun is low.
Across Illinois, our customers most often book in late spring and in the fall. In the spring we clear the film and paste, and in the fall we clear the leaves before they freeze into the runs.
No, because we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them can run down the wall and across the window below, so the glass goes last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
No. We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit, so windows inside are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing here. If you need interior glass, tell us and we will tell you what we can and cannot do.
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.
