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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book the pair in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the ladder for both. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get a quote.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons that show up on the invoice afterward. Professional window cleaning and gutter work done together is the simplest way to keep curb appeal up without paying for two trips.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely, and oversized panes take more time per window. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes than a run cleared every season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning the windows inside the house is a separate job and is not part of this quote.
Here is how to get an exact number. Text us the number of stories, a rough count of the windows on the outside of the house, and a photo of the front of the house. We use those three things to quote the job before a crew is sent, so the figure you hear is the figure you pay. Pollen film on south-facing glass and paste in the gutters shows up every spring, and on houses with heavy tree cover the gutters can carry water damage risk if they sit full. On our Warrenville jobs the quote changes most with stories and tree cover, and a photo tells us both at once.
| 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 residential window customers across Illinois book the pair twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. To schedule service, pick the spring or fall visit and book early, since our cleaning services run on that same two-visit schedule. Most houses do well on two cleanings a year, and regular cleanings on that schedule keep the gutters from packing up between seasons. Across Illinois, the spring visit falls late May to June, after the spring seed drop, and on our Warrenville jobs the fall visit falls late October to November, after the last leaves come down and before the first hard freeze.
At each visit we find the same things. In the spring a dusty film sits on south-facing glass and paste packs the gutters, and the downspout elbows are the first place it blocks. In the fall it is the wet leaf load, and on houses that skipped the autumn visit we have seen runs sag under ice by winter. Storm and wind seasons, mostly summer derechos and severe thunderstorms across the state, can move the schedule by a few weeks.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than the rest. We will tell you after the first visit whether your house is one of those, and we check every window before we leave.
You will know the windows need attention when haze shows up only when the sun is low, and you will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a 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 cleans the gutters and the exterior glass on residential properties across the Warrenville area. Our window cleaning services cover residential and commercial clients, small commercial buildings included, and the easiest way to find out whether we cover your street is to send us a photo of the house front. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo are enough for us to quote the job. Lead times vary with the season, and the two busy windows of the year, spring tree season and fall leaf drop, are when our calendar fills first, so schedule service early if your house needs both.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside and does not come inside, and we call before we come so you are not surprised by a truck in the driveway. Our two-person crew handles window washing services and gutter work in the same visit, which keeps the setup to one pass per side of the house.
The same crew handles grime on glass, debris in gutters and downspouts, and the runoff that carries dirt down the wall when a run is cleared. We clear the sill and the frame as part of every window, and we remove dirt from the screens as well. Condos and multi-story buildings follow the same order of work, with the crew scheduled around the building's own access rules.
Yes, the same crew does both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the debris from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job before the crew is sent.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what builds up here. Pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots sit on the exterior glass, and they are the reason the outside is the part we clean. Regular cleanings on the outside keep that film from building up between visits.
Across Illinois, our customers mostly book late May to June for the spring visit, and Warrenville houses usually book late October to November for the fall visit. Book early in those windows, because the calendar fills first.
No, we do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the gutters are rinsed away before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We use purified water instead of cleaning solutions on the glass, so the panes dry without streaks. Picture windows are cleaned from the outside like any other pane. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the exterior, and we do not bill them as extras.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are never booked as one job here. Pressure washing is not part of it either, and that work needs to be booked separately with another provider.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
