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 washes back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this for 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.
We price our window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. This quote covers the outside only, so interior and exterior glass is not included in it.
On our jobs, the same things move the quote again and again. A third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift takes more time. A large residential window count, or oversized picture windows, adds glass to wash. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear and flush, especially when they have not been cleaned in years. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add work on each run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass will not come off with regular cleanings or ordinary cleaning solutions, and we tell you that before we start. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a St. Clair house, the cleanest way to get the exact number is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count. Window washing services are quoted the same way, so a single estimate covers the gutters and the glass. Most of the time the crew has seen enough to give you a firm number on that call, without a site walk.

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 customers, residential and commercial alike, book both gutters and exterior glass twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Illinois, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June and the fall visit in late October to November, and we book around them.
The spring visit lands when the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and pollen paste builds in the gutters. The wettest months, April through June, send runoff and grit down the siding under every run. The fall visit clears the leaf load from clogged gutters before the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move either date, and we will tell you when that happens rather than leave the calendar as it was. Gutters that overflow through that stretch are the usual route to water damage on siding and foundations.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a multi-story building near a busy road all leave more debris and spotting between visits. On those jobs we suggest a third visit in summer so the window and gutter work stays on schedule.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning 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.
Our crew has worked across St. Clair, and the calendar is busiest in the two windows of the year when the leaves and grit peak. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, so the sooner you call the sooner we can fit you in. Our lead time is shown on the booking page for this city.
Booking our cleaning services is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will reply with a written estimate. Once you approve it, we pick a date that works and schedule service for the gutters and every window on the outside of the house in the same visit. We call before we come, so there are no surprises at the door.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew stays outside and does not come into the house. If you have questions about the approach or the work, the crew answers them on the phone before the first ladder goes up.
Yes. Our crew does professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water never lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way, so text a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside carries what the inside does not. Dust and rain film build up on the glass, and sprinkler spotting shows up on the outside of the pane. Cleaning the outside is how you remove dirt from the glass, along with the grime that causes most of the haze.
Most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall, after the spring debris settles and before the first hard freeze. On our St. Clair jobs, the spring and fall visits follow the same calendar, so one crew covers both.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and downspouts are flushed as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, so the number we give you covers them.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing here, so ask us about those separately.
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 ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
