Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Indiana, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run October to early November. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us for a quote, and our crew does the work in person every time.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that number already includes downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, so none of those show up as extras later. The quote does not cover windows inside the house, and the crew brings no cleaning solutions, so the invoice has no line for either.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings take the longest. A large count of picture windows takes longer than the same count of standard windows, since each one needs a clean pass to keep streaks off. Clogged gutters, packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run cleaned last season, and any water damage at the fascia gets flagged before we start. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with window washing alone, so we tell you about it first.
On the phone we ask for the stories and a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us see the roofline and the glass. Window cleaners who only do glass often skip the roof side, so ask who clears the gutters. Curb appeal depends on both, which is why we quote them together. That is usually enough to give you an exact number before the crew is booked. Our crew does this work in the same way on every house, and we would rather be exact on the first call than surprise you at the bottom of the ladder. For older, heavily treed lots, professional window cleaning and gutter clearing often end up on the same schedule because the same debris falls on both.
| 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.
Auburn gets about 37 inches of precipitation a year, and April, May and June are the wettest months, so a spring visit lands right in the rainy stretch. Across Indiana, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run October to early November, which lets one crew handle both cleaning services in a single trip per season. Auburn also gets about 36 inches of snow a year, mostly from November through April, and freeze risk is real, so the gutters need to be clear before the first hard freeze.
In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Across Indiana, storm season brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, so we watch the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit between the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house close to a busy road all tend to pick up more residential properties grime and runoff between cleanings. A residential window that takes roof runoff every rain may need a closer look, and water damage at the sill shows up first on the lowest panes. We would rather tell you that on the first visit than let the schedule drift.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and every window on a sunny side shows it first. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. Clean windows show the sky again, and that is the result we aim for. If either sign shows up, call and schedule service so the crew can get to the next dry day.
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 works across the city, and the easiest way to find out if we cover your street is to call or text us at (866) 435-6328 with your address. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We then give you a lead time for the first open slot, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the crew needs the side gate open and the driveway clear if windows face it.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and that is when our calendar fills fastest. Booking early in those windows is the easiest way to get the date you want. Outside those windows the crew can usually fit a single job in sooner, and the schedule is easier to shift when you know your needs ahead of time.
We handle residential and commercial jobs with the same crew and the same method, including condos. Our washing services cover every window on the outside of the building, and our window cleaning services cover gutters and downspouts in the same visit. Gutters and downspouts get the same attention whether they belong to a single house or a three-building site, and the photos go to you before we leave. Our crew does the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass booked together is not something we take on. Whatever the building, our goal is to remove dirt and grime from the glass and clear the runoff path off the roof.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, and gutters are done first so the dirty water does not land on the clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any work is scheduled.
On Auburn houses the outside picks up pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull from the street even when the inside is clean. We rinse with purified water and use no cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to film the glass.
Across Indiana, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run October to early November. Picture windows and other large glass take longer, and regular cleanings fit those windows well.
Not with our order of work. The roof is cleared, the gutters are flushed, and only then does anyone touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit.
We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing. Some companies quote interior and exterior cleaning together, but ours is exterior only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
