Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Romeoville jobs most customers book the work in the spring and again in the fall, so the calendar fills with the same two visits each year. Give us your stories and an approximate window count, call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number right then.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the window count and we will work from those. The crew settles the rest on the day, including which cleaning solutions the glass and the gutter run need.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take more time per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, and we say so before we quote it. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is what we find on a typical Romeoville visit. A house with a long gutter run on the back of the house, two or three stories of glass and a wet leaf mat in the back run takes more time than a single-story ranch with clear gutters. We have seen the same window count come in at different prices because of how much debris was in the runs. Houses that get regular cleanings take less time per visit, which is why we ask about the gutters, not just the glass.
For the most accurate number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you want done. That is enough for us to quote the full bundle, and it is the number the invoice will match. We ask the same questions for residential and commercial properties. This quote covers the exterior only, and interior and exterior glass are different jobs.
| 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.
Most window cleaners only do the glass, so the gutters usually get booked on a separate day. On our Romeoville jobs most customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work together twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down, and the wet mat sits in the runs over the winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates in both directions, so we plan around what the weather actually does rather than a fixed date. Clean glass is a big part of curb appeal, and some homeowners blame the windows inside for haze that is really on the outside of the glass.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. Clogged gutters that overflow send runoff down the siding, and that is the usual route to water damage. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and tall houses need more ladder time, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest of the block.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see haze on the glass only in low sun. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 window and gutter cleaning as one visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and the estimate starts from there. Our washing services follow the same steps on every house. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those windows and you get the slot you want. Outside those windows we can usually fit a visit in sooner, and we will tell you the lead time when you call.
We work across the residential properties in Romeoville, and we clean windows on the outside of the house in the same visit as the gutters. Every window that is reachable from the outside gets done, and every residential window gets the same sill wipe. The frame is washed too, so the crew can remove dirt that a pane-only cleaning leaves behind. Booking is the same for every house, so the process you hear on the phone is the process that happens on the ladder.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows, and they work gutters first and glass last, so our washing services never cost you a second trip.
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.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass is the first thing to look dirty. Cleaning the outside alone is enough to remove dirt that the weather leaves behind.
On our Romeoville jobs most customers book in the spring and again in the fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. If your house is one of several condos sharing a gutter run, tell us when you call so we can quote the run correctly.
No, that is why we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed, the runoff and grit that come down the wall are rinsed off before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same way when they can be reached from the outside.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the glass and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
