The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Westmont. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them separately. We have been on Westmont houses through every spring and fall, and we work the same way across Illinois.
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 gutter cleaning and window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you where it lands.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the price: stories and steep roofs that have to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of windows, picture windows or oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, 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, not billed as extras. We do not clean windows inside on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
Here is an example from one of our jobs. A residential window job on a house with a lot of glass and clogged gutters needed the runs cleared twice before the rain could drain properly, and the water damage on the fascia was visible only after the leaves came out. The crew photographed it and reported it, and the owner decided what to do next. Your quote is built the same way: we look at the house before we give a number, and the professional window cleaning and gutter work is priced for what we see, not for a generic house.
| 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 |

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 Westmont customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load that settles on the roof and goes straight into the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we look at the house before we set the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the two regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all leave more grime and runoff between cleanings. A sprinkler line is the usual cause of the spots that come back a day after cleaning. For residential properties with a lot of glass, we schedule service to fit the house, not a fixed plan.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters let water sheet over the edge during rain. When you see either one, call us, and we will look at the clean windows and the gutters together, since curb appeal starts with clean glass.
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 Westmont and send a crew out for both gutter cleaning and window washing services. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will confirm the lead time before we set a date. In the two busy windows of the year, when spring and fall debris is heaviest, our calendar fills, so book early if you want a slot in those months.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when the crew is on the way. Our window cleaning services cover the glass; the gutter work covers the gutters and downspouts, and runoff from the roof is checked at the outlet. The crew uses purified water to remove dirt and grime from sills and frames as part of the visit, checks every window on the house, and notes any stubborn spots so you know what we could and could not remove. We also clean multi-story buildings, residential and commercial, including condos, so if your building has multiple units, mention that when you call.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first so the runoff does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will give you the number before we book.
On Westmont houses the outside carries most of the damage: dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots. Inside glass is the easy part to keep clean, so the exterior is where a visit pays off.
Most of our Westmont customers book in spring and in fall. Spring clears the tree dust, and fall clears the leaves before the first freeze.
No. We clean gutters first and the glass last, so the grit and water from the runs drain off before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, with purified water and no cleaning solutions on the glass. Tracks are included in the same pass, and we do not bill them separately.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean inside the glass or do pressure washing. For a full interior and exterior job, ask for a written estimate and we will tell you what we can cover.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. Book a date by calling (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
