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 the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
The number we give you covers our cleaning services from the first step to the last, and it comes from the stories and the approximate window count. The bundle, both jobs in one visit, costs less than booking gutters and windows separately, and the figure we quote on the phone is the figure on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the exact number before we book.
Multi-story buildings, including a third story or a roof too steep to walk, take more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and every residential window set higher up cost more to reach safely. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line leaves marks that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Most people want a quote that holds, so we work from a fixed set of measures rather than a guess. Send us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house. Our crew checks the gutters for blockage, the glass for hard-water spotting, and the roofline for anything that changes the time on site, and the glass is done with purified water instead of cleaning solutions. If the number moves after we see the house, we tell you before we start, not after.
Because the outside of your house carries the same debris all year, the quote is built to cover the full job rather than a single run of gutter or one side of the glass. That matters more when you book regular cleanings, since the frequency changes what the crew finds on the next visit. Ask us to note your schedule on the estimate so the number reflects how often you plan to book.

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 of our customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. By fall the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a run under the first ice. Across Illinois, summer derechos and severe thunderstorms can move the dates by a few weeks in either direction, and overflowing gutters are how water damage starts at the fascia, so we book the visit when the house is ready rather than on a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust on the frames, and the haze it leaves wears down the curb appeal of the house.
You will see a window that needs attention when the haze appears only when the sun is low. You will see a gutter that needs attention when water sheets over the edge in 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 do window and gutter cleaning across Roselle, and we handle the exterior of every window on the house in the same visit. To schedule service, send a text or call with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and the professional window cleaning estimate comes back from that. Lead time is set by our calendar, and the two busy windows in spring and fall fill first, so book early if you want a particular week.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside of the house without coming in. Residential properties of every size get the same process, and every residential window on the house gets the same exterior pass. The same crew handles the job from the first ladder to the last, and the result is clean windows on every side. If the building is a residential and commercial mix, tell us when you call so we can quote it correctly.
Yes, the same two people provide our window and gutter washing services. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs down the wall onto a clean window.
The number for our window cleaning services comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside of the glass, and that grime shows once the sun is low.
Across Illinois, most of our customers book in spring and fall. Book early if you want a particular week, because those windows fill first.
No, because the gutters come first and the glass last. When the glass is done first, runoff from gutters and downspouts splashes onto it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and downspouts are flushed as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside the house are not cleaned or priced. Our quote covers the exterior glass only, since interior and exterior work are separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing. If the home is one of several condos sharing a roofline, tell us which gutters and windows are yours when you call.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
