The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaf drop are at their worst.
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 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.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass, and picture windows add time too. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more water, and heavy grime on the glass adds time. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The first of our cleanings on a neglected house runs longer than the regular cleanings that follow, and we quote interior and exterior glass as separate work, since this visit covers the exterior only.
Across Indiana, the homes we clean differ mostly in how many stories they have and how much glass they carry, so that is what we ask about first, since both set the price of our washing services. To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. We will tell you what the bundle comes to before we book the date, and that is the figure we bill.

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 of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Residential and commercial buildings get the same timing advice from us, since the same debris comes down on both.
In spring we find a film of pollen on south-facing glass and a paste of seed and grit in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load, which packs the downspouts and sits in the runs, and clogged gutters are what send water over the edge in a storm. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, and we adjust the booking when the weather does.
Some houses need a third visit, especially multi-story buildings or houses with heavy tree cover. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all bring more debris onto the glass, and gutters packed with that debris can lead to water damage at the fascia. On those jobs the spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually sprinkler minerals, and a third visit is the honest way to keep up with them. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so a streak points to a missed pane, not leftover product.
You will see when windows need cleaning in the low sun, as a haze you only notice when the light comes in at an angle. You will see when gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 cleaning services and gutter work on residential properties and condos across the Chesterton area, and we cover the city as a whole. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate the same call. The lead time to the first open slot depends on the calendar that week, and we will tell you the date when we confirm.
Two stretches of the year fill the calendar faster than the rest. The spring visit runs late May to June across Indiana, and our fall visit in Chesterton runs late October to November, so if you want a slot in one of those windows, book early. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Professional window cleaning covers every window we are booked for, and we wipe the sill and the frame as part of the visit. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect. Good cleaning services should leave the outside of the house in better shape than they found it.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two people clean the gutters and downspouts first and then do the outside of the windows, in one visit, so you are not paying for a second trip.
The number comes from the stories and the residential window count, and we give it over the phone or by text. Send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front, and you will have a written estimate before we book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries what the inside does not. Rain dust, road grime and sprinkler spots build up on the glass from outside, and rain alone does not remove dirt that has dried on the glass.
Across Indiana, most of our customers book in spring and fall. In spring the dust and grit are on the glass and in the gutters, and in fall the leaves are down, so those are the two windows when the job matters most.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, because the leaves, grit and black runoff from a gutter run down the wall and across any window below it. Washing the glass first means washing it twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the windows we clean. None of that is billed as an extra on this visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of the price. We do not do pressure washing either, so if you need that, you will need another company for it.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
