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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Indiana, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, so the crew knows what the calendar brings to these houses. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote on your residential window and gutter cleaning.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit for gutter and window cleaning costs less than booking two separate washing services. Our window cleaning services are quoted on the phone, and the number we give is the number we charge, with the bundle saving shown in your quote.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the number. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more passes. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are part of the count. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing a cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how a recent Cedar Lake job looked from the ladder. We finish a house like this one by flushing every downspout until it runs clear, then taking the glass after the wall has stopped dripping. Crews on these jobs remove dirt from the frames and sills before the panes, so the glass dries clean instead of streaking. The runoff from the roof is worth checking on every visit, because the water that sits in a clogged run is what gets into the fascia and the wall below it. That kind of water damage is cheaper to catch in the first visit than in the spring. If you want the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with your stories and a rough window count, and we will quote from that. For a condos or a multi-unit building, tell us how many units share the roofline, because the gutters and downspouts run the whole length and the count changes.
| 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 Cedar Lake customers book both twice a year, once in late May or June and once in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Indiana, the same two windows hold for most houses, and the dates move with the storms.
At the spring visit we find the pollen film on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters, and the film comes off with purified water and a mild cleaning solution on the frames. In the fall we find the leaf load that has come down over the roof. Storm and wind seasons can push either visit a few weeks, so we keep the calendar open. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof is the usual reason, because the debris keeps coming between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, since the spots come back a day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction also picks up grime faster than the rest of the street.
We do not clean windows inside the house on these visits, and we do not do pressure washing, so the crew stays on the exterior and the gutters. Our regular cleanings are scheduled around the window count and the tree cover, and the interior and exterior of a house are handled separately.
Watch for two signs between visits. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low means the film is building. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in the rain means the run is full and needs attention.
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.
Booking starts with a quote by phone or text for professional window cleaning: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house. We use those to set the crew size and the time on site, and the number we quote is the number you pay. Lead time is set by the calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. The two questions are the same for residential and commercial work, so the quote starts the same way for both.
The two busy windows are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fast in both. Booking early keeps you on the schedule you want. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come. Our cleaning services cover the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and our window cleaners work from the ground and, on multi-story buildings, from the boom or scissor lift where a story is too high to reach safely. We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the upper stories, and the same crew works on residential properties from single-family homes to condos. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the gutter water is not washing down onto clean panes.
We quote it from the number of stories and the approximate window count, by phone or text. There is no fixed figure we give without seeing the house.
Usually yes on our Cedar Lake jobs, because the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, and those spots are the first thing that makes clean windows look dirty from the street.
Most of our Cedar Lake customers book in late May or June and again in late October or November, and that is the window we plan around.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then take the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, with no separate line item.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on 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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
