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 done together cost less than two separate trips. On our Franklin jobs, most of our customers book it for the spring and fall visits, when tree debris is heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
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 window and gutter cleaning done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, pollen film on the glass, 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. Cleaning solutions for baked-on grime are part of the quote too.
On our Franklin jobs the quote usually rises with how much is in the gutters and how many panes sit high on the wall. Multi-story buildings are quoted by story, and our crew measures both before the bid. Regular cleanings tend to leave less buildup to remove on each visit. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts, and you will see the stories, window count and any add-ons on one page. Interior and exterior glass are not the same job, and this visit covers the exterior only. Residential and commercial work is priced differently, so tell us which you have when you call.
| 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.
Across Indiana, most of our customers book two cleanings a year, and the spring visit usually lands in late May to June while the fall visit lands in late October to November. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In the spring visit the pollen film sits on south-facing glass. In the fall visit the wet leaf mat is the problem. Across Indiana, spring storms bring supercells with hail and tornadoes, and those can move the dates, so we book from what the house shows us.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, clogged gutters, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house near a busy road all pull the schedule forward. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag them on the visit so you are not surprised. Our crew runs both cleaning services as one routine, professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning, so the next date is set before we leave.
You will know windows need cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout, and the runoff ends up on the siding below. Left that long, the same backup can lead to water damage at the fascia.
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.
We clean residential properties across Franklin, and the calendar is the same for every window and gutter job we take. Our residential window cleaning covers the outside glass, and our washing services take in gutters and downspouts on the same visit. Condos are residential work too, so tell us when you call if the building controls exterior access. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and tell us the number of stories. We give a number from that, then set a date. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills first, so book early if you want a particular week.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when we are on the way. Schedule service with us once and the next visit can be set while the crew is still on site, so you do not have to chase a date. Ask for the clean windows and clear gutters on the same invoice, and we will show you each run and each pane in the photos we send afterward. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, which is why most of our customers keep both on one schedule.
Yes. The same two people do both on our jobs, in one visit. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back onto windows we have just washed.
We give the number by phone or text from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it before the crew comes out.
On our Franklin jobs the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust, road film, and sprinkler spots that come back. Cleaning the inside alone does not remove dirt that sits on the outer pane, so the haze stays.
Across Indiana, most of our customers book the spring visit in late May or June, after the spring storms have passed. Our calendar fills early in that window, so ask for the first open date when you call.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the run is flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the exterior work where we can reach them from the outside.
This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit, and we say so up front so you know what to expect.
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.
