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 doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Illinois, our crews book this spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 for the number before you book.
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, the window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Our crews see the longest visits on multi-story buildings, so tell us the story count first. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We get asked about interior and exterior glass together, but this quote covers the exterior only.
To get an exact number, send us the number of stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. A few of the homes we clean with picture windows on the second floor take longer than the count suggests, so we ask about those on the phone before we quote. Our cleaning services use cleaning solutions only where a window needs them, and we use purified water for the rest.
We run the same process for every job, residential and commercial, and every residential window quote is built the same way. For a home with a steep roof or several stories, expect a longer visit and a quote that reflects it. The regular cleanings we book for a home are priced from the same starting point, so a second visit later in the year costs what the first one did.

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 again in fall, because clean glass and clear gutters keep curb appeal up, and one crew in one visit is the simplest way to do both.
On our Streator jobs, the spring visit finds a pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky grit in the gutters, and the fall visit finds the leaf load that has settled into the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we check the roofline before we schedule. Professional window cleaning on the same visit as the gutters catches both before the buildup sets.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit leave clogged gutters between visits, and a downspout that backs up can cause water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside glass than a quieter street does, and those are the homes we see on the schedule every few months.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into 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 work across Streator on window and gutter cleaning for residential properties, including condos, and most of our bookings come from homeowners who want clean windows and clear gutters on the same schedule. A call or text gets you an estimate, and we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front so the quote is right the first time.
Booking works by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. Once we have the number of stories and the photo, we confirm the lead time and set a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way. We clean every window we can reach from outside, including the ones over a sill, and we say so on the estimate if a window needs a separate visit.
Our calendar fills in the two busy stretches of the year, the spring season and fall leaf season, so the earlier you call, the more choice you have on the date. Outside those windows, a slot is usually easy to get. Our crews work the same standard on every job, so if you schedule service in a quiet month, you get the same visit.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and then the outside glass, so the crew does both in one visit and nothing is washed twice.
Our window cleaning services are quoted from the stories and the size of the house, and we give you the number by phone or text before the visit. Two-story homes vary in window count and roof pitch, so we give you the figure once we know the house.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in the spring pollen season and again in the fall leaf season. Those two windows are when the gutters and the glass need it most.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters are finished and the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, which helps remove dirt before it can run back onto the glass. They are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the same visit whenever we can reach them.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, so we do not clean the windows inside or offer pressure washing services on it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
