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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Illinois, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and we keep that schedule for Woodstock homes too.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services and gutter work come out of one quote, and window washing and washing services are not billed as a second job. The quote covers the outside only, not an interior and exterior package, so the number you get is for this visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and high panes change the setup. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to flush, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another line item because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Woodstock jobs the window count is the number that surprises people most, so count the windows on the front, sides and back before you call and we can give you a number that holds. The grime on the glass after a dry summer and the film of dust in spring are both included in the visit. Regular cleanings start from the last visit's window count, so the next quote is quick. Ask for a written estimate if you want the breakdown before we schedule.
| 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.
Across Illinois, most of our customers book their window and gutter work twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew doing the gutters and the glass in a single visit makes sense. On what we find at each visit, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky paste in the gutters are the first things to deal with in spring, and the leaf load is the main thing in fall. The same timing logic applies to residential and commercial glass, since pollen and leaf load set the date, not the type of building. We rinse the glass with purified water and add cleaning solutions only for film that water alone will not lift. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we confirm the day with you rather than fixing it on the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime than the rest. Multi-story buildings, and three-story houses in particular, need a longer setup on each side. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage we see at the eaves, so if a run is slow to drain after a rain it is worth moving that house up the list.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. A haze on the windows inside the house is a different job and is not part of this visit. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain. Either one is a good reason to call, and the first visit tells us which schedule your lot actually needs.
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 gutters and exterior windows across the city of Woodstock, and we bring the same two-person setup to every street. We clean every window we can reach from the ground or the pole, and the crew notes any it cannot reach. Our cleaning services start with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a window count and a visit date. Lead time depends on the season and is given when you call. In the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew calls before we come, so you know the day and rough arrival window. We work from the ground, from a boom or scissor lift where the roofline needs one, and from a pole for the upper glass, and we do not climb on the siding. Ask for a written estimate if your property manager or board needs one before approval.
We are a professional window cleaning crew with the gear to match your home, from the picket fence line to the top floor. If your curb appeal is part of why you are calling, we will do the front first so you can see the difference before we move around the house. Schedule service by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, and we will set a date that works for you.
Yes. The same two people handle window and gutter cleaning in one visit, gutters first and glass last. The gutters and downspouts are cleared before anyone touches the glass, so that order keeps the runoff off the clean panes.
The number comes from stories and window count, and we give it by phone or text before we schedule. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it.
Often, yes. The outside carries the grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here, and those sit on the glass whether the inside is clean or not. Our exterior residential window cleaning is built to remove dirt from the glass and frame, and we do not touch the inside on this visit.
Most residential properties we clean in Woodstock are booked in late spring and in fall, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves come down. We confirm the date with you when you call.
No, because the gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed before anyone touches the glass. The water that runs off the gutter during cleaning would otherwise drip across any pane below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the standard window cleaning. Condos get the same treatment, as long as the exterior glass can be reached from the ground or the pole.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. This is exterior glass and gutters only.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
