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 runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Yorkville jobs most customers book in the spring and the fall, when the leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text and we will tell you the number before we come.
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 whole job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a window and gutter visit in one trip costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our starting rates are a guide, but the figure that matters is the one we quote for your house after we know its stories and window count.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more ladder time and more setup. Window count and oversized picture windows change the glass time. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment, because no cleaning solutions remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Yorkville jobs the quotes that surprise people are usually the ones where the gutters were skipped for a long time. One house on the east side had the windows washed the year before, but the gutters were still full, so the crew spent the first hour on the roof before the glass could start. The quote covered both, and the owner got photos of every run. To get your exact number, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the stories and an estimate of the window count. Clearing a clogged run takes the same care whether the house is old or new, and the quote reflects what the crew sees, not a guess from the street.
Residential and commercial properties are priced on the same basis here, by stories and what is on the roof. A request that covers interior and exterior glass is quoted line by line, because the crew's visit covers the outside. A cleaning schedule for a larger building is quoted separately and set up on the same visit, so you know the cost of each visit before we begin. Ask about regular cleanings if you want the same crew on the same schedule each season.
| 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 of our Yorkville customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring after the seed drop and once in the fall after the leaves are down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste in the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat in clogged gutters is what we clear first. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those houses are often on three or four visits a year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later, and those houses are also on a shorter schedule. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust on the frames faster than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings follow the same logic, since every extra level adds ladder time to each run. In each case we would rather plan the schedule with you than let the gutters clog and the water damage start.
A house with no trees over the roof usually books twice a year and rarely needs a third visit. A house with heavy tree cover over the back roof and a sprinkler line on the front windows is on three or four visits, and the crew checks the sprinkler spray on each visit so the schedule matches what the house needs.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze on the glass only when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Clear glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and that is the first thing anyone sees from the street.
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 provides window and gutter cleaning across Yorkville, from the older blocks to the newer subdivisions. Booking works the same everywhere. You call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a quote and a date. Lead times depend on the season, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know the arrival window. Each residential window and gutter run is checked before the crew leaves, and the photos go to you the same day. If something needs a second look, such as a sill that has pulled loose or a window that will not seal, we note it and tell you what we saw.
We clean residential properties and commercial buildings, and our professional window cleaning crew treats every window on the house the same way from the top floor to the basement. Repeat visits to clean windows follow the same steps as the first: purified water on the glass, frames wiped, and the sill cleared of grit. The water helps remove dirt without leaving streaks. Schedule service with us by phone or text, and the crew confirms the date before the truck is on the road.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean windows below.
Our window cleaning services are quoted from the number of stories and the approximate window count, by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number before we come.
On our Yorkville jobs the outside carries most of the grime. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the glass outside, and the inside stays clean in comparison. Cleaning the outside keeps the view clear and protects the frames from grit.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June after the spring drop, and again in late October or early November after the leaves fall. Those are the months the crew finds the most build-up.
Not if the gutters are cleaned first. When we clear a run, the leaves, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so the roof and gutters go first, and only then does the crew touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the glass work on houses and condos alike. None of those are billed as extras.
Our crew cleans the exterior of the windows only, and we do not clean windows inside on this visit. Pressure washing and other washing services are not part of this booking, and we say so up front.
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.
