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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Roscoe jobs, most customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when seed fluff and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the runs. Give us your stories and a rough window count, and we will tell 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 window and gutter cleaning 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 on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs is the same every time: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large window count or oversized picture windows, gutters packed with pollen, seeds and leaves that have not been cleared in years, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Most of the homes we see on the spring and fall schedule have gutters that need the most work at the first visit, and the window cleaning follows the same order: runs cleared, downspouts flushed, then the glass. A house that has skipped a year of gutter cleaning usually takes longer than the same house kept on regular cleanings, so the first quote on those tends to be the most accurate estimate we give. The cleaning solutions we use on the frames and sills are mild, and the glass is finished with purified water. A quote covers the exterior glass only, not the interior and exterior together, so you know exactly what the number includes. The same two questions, stories and window count, start the quote for a residential and commercial building as well as a house.
On our Roscoe jobs, the fastest way to get the exact number is a text with your stories, your approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 if you would rather talk it through, and we will book a date once the number is set. We use that photo to check the roofline, the number of runs and any guard that needs lifting. Our crew calls before it comes, so the visit is planned around what it will actually take.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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 Roscoe customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In the spring the seed drop, pollen and fluff pack the downspout elbows and leave a dusty film on the south-facing glass. In the fall the leaf load builds up in the runs and the wet mat sits on the wall below them. The cleaning services we do at each visit are the same, but the schedule moves with what the house is actually carrying.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit, because needles and seed drop pack the downspouts faster than they settle out of the gutters. Clogged gutters on those roofs are usually the first sign, and the same cover on multi-story buildings needs more time at each visit. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is another reason to come back sooner, since those spots return a day after cleaning and are a mineral problem rather than dirt. A house close to a busy road or active construction also collects more grime on the glass between visits, and a blocked run left too long can lead to water damage at the fascia.
We have two customers in the same neighborhood who show the range. One has no trees near the house and books once a year in late fall, which covers the leaf load and the dusty film. The other has a mature tree over the back roof and a sprinkler line on the front glass, and books three or four visits a year to keep the clogged gutters from sending runoff down the siding and the spots from setting. Both are on the same professional window cleaning route, run by window cleaners who work from the outside, and the difference is what their lot puts on the house.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low. The windows inside are not on this schedule, so that haze is almost always on the outside. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign means the visit is due, and a text with a photo is enough for us to tell you which one it is. Curb appeal depends on both, and neither is worth waiting on for a whole 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 has cleaned houses across the neighborhoods of Roscoe, and we will tell you on the phone which of those we have already worked near you. Our window cleaning services are for residential properties, so booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using your number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we give you the realistic date when you call rather than promising a slot we cannot keep. The busy windows are the spring and fall months when seeds and leaves come down, and that is when our calendar fills first, so booking early in those periods is the simplest way to get the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, we work from the outside, and we send photos of every run and every window before we leave. For each residential window job we also clear the gutters and downspouts on the same visit, and the clean windows follow, so the whole house gets done in one pass. Each visit covers every window on the outside of the house, the sills and the frames, and anything we cannot reach safely is photographed and reported to you.
If you want a date fixed, tell us when you call and we will hold it on the schedule. Our crew will confirm the day before and again when it is on the way, so you know exactly when to expect us. We schedule service around the weather, and if rain moves the day, we move the visit and tell you before the crew leaves the yard.
Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never lands on clean glass.
We do not give a range here because the number comes from your stories and the size of the house. Text us your stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you the number before the crew is scheduled.
On our Roscoe jobs the outside carries most of what dulls the glass: seed fluff in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that set on the outer surface. Cleaning the inside alone does not remove dirt from the outer surface, so the exterior visit is the part that changes what you see. The same is true for condos, where the outside glass is the part people notice first.
Across Illinois, the spring visit usually falls in late May or June, after the seed drop finishes, and the fall visit in October or early November, after the leaves come down. In Roscoe, booking early in those months gets you the date you want.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass is cleaned only after the runs are done and every downspout is flushed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in our washing services on the exterior visit, and we tell you on the phone if anything needs more time.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
