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 in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Indiana, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, and that is the calendar our crew works to.
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. Once you know your stories and rough window count, the quote is fixed before the crew arrives.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of this quote, which covers the outside glass only.
Windows that have been left alone collect a film that rain does not remove, and on glass like that window washing is more work than a light rinse. The same goes for clogged gutters: once water has backed up for a season, the crew spends longer on the runs and checks for water damage behind the fascia before it leaves. Professional window cleaning means the glass is washed with purified water and dried without a towel, so you see the result, not the tools.
For a case from Bloomington, we will share one job once it is documented with its photos. Until then, the way to get your exact number is simple: tell us the stories, give us the window count, and call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for the crew to quote the job before a truck goes out. Curb appeal is what you notice from the street, and we clean the parts you cannot see from the ground.

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 Indiana, most customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the spring visit shows a film of pollen on south-facing glass and a paste of it in the gutters, and the fall visit shows the leaf load that packs downspout elbows. A residential window on the south side of the house usually shows that film first.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. A heavy spring storm can leave hail grit in the runs, and a wet fall can push the fall visit later than planned. Our cleaning services for residential properties follow the house, not a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots on every window it reaches, and they come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film of dust that does not wash off on the first pass. These are the cases where we suggest adding a visit, and we say so on the first estimate.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. Clean windows do not show it at all, so check the glass at a low angle. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain. If you see either, it is time to schedule service with us.
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 Bloomington and the houses around it. Booking for our window cleaning services and gutter work starts with an estimate by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the slot. Lead times are set by the calendar at the time you call, and we will tell you the first open date when you do.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when leaves and storm debris arrive at the same time. The calendar fills then, so booking early in those months gets you the earliest slot. Outside those windows there is usually room.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect the truck. Our washing services cover the whole exterior: we clean the grime off the sills, clean runoff stains off the siding, and remove dirt from the frames as part of the job. Condos and multi-story buildings are scheduled as separate jobs, quoted by building.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the roof first, then the gutters and downspouts, then the glass. Houses are the job on this page; residential and commercial buildings are quoted by building.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, quoted by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. We do not give a figure in writing without those two numbers. Once you give them, the quote is fixed.
On our jobs in Bloomington, the outside carries the grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the outside alone makes a visible difference, even with the inside left as it is.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and regular cleanings at those two points cover the season. The spring visit comes after the pollen drop, and the fall visit comes after the leaves come down. Booking early in those months gets you the earliest slot.
No. Gutters come first and glass comes last, so the two cleanings on one visit do not undo each other. When the runs are cleared, the leaves, grit and dirty water come down the wall. If the glass were washed first, it would need washing again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned as well, and picture windows are cleaned from the outside on the same pass as the rest of the glass. None of that is billed as an extra on the invoice.
We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit, so this job does not cover interior and exterior glass together. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing as part of it.
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 unlock the side gate. The crew brings its own cleaning solutions and purified water, so nothing needs to be set out for them.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
