The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. On our Crawfordsville jobs most customers book it in the spring and the fall, when the leaves and grime 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. Gutters and downspouts are priced as part of the same visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge at the end of the job.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows take more time per pane than standard sashes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, and needles and grit packed into the downspouts add time before anything is flushed. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated to reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler heads is a separate matter, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the grime on the sills comes off with the rest of the window washing. We quote the outside only, so an interior and exterior cleaning is a different job and is not part of this estimate.
On a recent Crawfordsville job the quote came in higher than the owner expected, and the reason was the crew's own observation once they were on the ladder. The back run had not been opened for several seasons, and the glass below it had a film of grime that needed a second pass to remove dirt. The owner texted a photo of the front of the house before the visit, and that photo gave us the story count and the window count we needed to quote accurately. To get your exact number, tell us the stories, send a count of the windows, and text a photo of the front of the house. Those three details are all our washing services crew needs to price the job.
Whatever your house looks like, we will quote it from those three things before anyone climbs a ladder, and regular cleanings on residential properties are priced the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.

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 Crawfordsville customers book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar. The same spring and fall pattern shows up on residential and commercial glass alike, since leaves and dust do not check the property type.
In the spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste builds in the gutters, so that is the first thing the crew checks on the glass and in the runs. Across Indiana, late May to June is the usual spring window, and May, June and July are the wettest months here, which is when clogged gutters, runoff and water damage are most likely to show up. In the fall the leaf load is what we find, and it packs the elbows of the downspouts before the first hard weather. Snow falls from November through March here, about 21.7 inches a year, so the fall visit has to happen before the first snow sits on the roof. Across Indiana, spring storm season brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, and when a storm moves through we reschedule rather than work a wet roof.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a third visit. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings are quoted by their stories and window count, the same as a house, so the visit length follows that count. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so haze on the inside glass is a separate matter and not a sign the outside needs cleaning.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you whether it is due now or can wait for the next scheduled visit. Call (866) 435-6328 and book a date.
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 window cleaning services cover gutters and downspouts and exterior windows on residential properties across Crawfordsville, and we book by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and a date. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the next open slot when you call.
The calendar fills in two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season. If you want a slot in those months, book early for the cleanings, because our schedule service fills first for the homes that have heavy tree cover or spotting from sprinklers. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for upper floors, and every window the pole can reach gets the same pass, so you do not need a ladder against the siding for the glass.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Gutter and window cleaning is done with the same care on every house, whether it is a small ranch or a multi-level home, and every residential window gets the same professional window cleaning standard across the whole job. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and both show from the street. We use purified water on the glass and reach for cleaning solutions only where a film will not lift with water alone. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule or text a photo of the roofline for a quick estimate.
Yes. On a residential window and gutter job, the same two people do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, so you have one crew on the ladder rather than two trips.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, so we give it by phone or text, and condos are quoted the same way. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send a written estimate.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here, from pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so that is where the crew starts to remove dirt.
Across Indiana, late May to June is the usual spring window and October to early November is the usual fall window, and our Crawfordsville customers tend to book in those same stretches.
No, because we clear gutters and downspouts first and clean glass last. Runoff from a gutter lands on whatever glass sits below it, so if the glass were washed first, someone would have to wash it again after the gutters were done. We do it in the order that avoids that.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras.
We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so an interior and exterior job is not part of this quote.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
