Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them as two trips. On our Indianapolis jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is why we built the page around those two visits.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate built from the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle, gutters and window washing in one visit, comes in below booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are the same ones we see on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a large window count add glass hours to any professional window cleaning job. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before they run. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and so does hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which cleaning alone does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the windows inside the house are not part of the quote.
The houses that cost us the most time usually have something stacked up without anyone noticing: clogged gutters that have been overflowing onto the siding for seasons, or a run that has been leaking water damage into the fascia. We photograph those before we start and show you the photos before we bill for anything beyond the agreed scope. Our crew has worked on multi-story buildings and tall homes in Indianapolis where the lift setup was the biggest single line, and we say so in the estimate rather than discovering it on the ladder. If you are weighing curb appeal against a single visit, the honest answer is that the glass and gutters are both easier to do on the same setup than separately.
| 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 customers book both twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The reasons are the same everywhere: the spring visit clears the seed and pollen season, and the fall visit clears the leaf drop before the first hard freeze.
At the spring visit, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the thing we notice first, along with the seed and tree debris packed into the downspout elbows. At the fall visit it is the wet leaf mat in the gutters and the grit that comes down with it, and every window below the run picks up that grit too. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we call to schedule service before we come rather than working from a fixed date.
Some houses need a third visit on top of the two regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, is one case. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because those are the spots that come back a day after a cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction catches more dust on the sills and frames, and it is worth a mid-season check. We will tell you which of these applies to your lot after the first visit.
You will know it is time for clean windows again when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down 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 cleans gutters and the outside of each residential window across Indianapolis, and the easiest way to find out whether we have a slot near you is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. Give us the number of stories and a rough window count, and we come back with an estimate and the next open date. Lead time depends on the season, so the calendar in late spring and late fall fills faster than in the middle of summer.
Our crew works on residential properties, and on residential and commercial sites across the city, including condos and multi-unit buildings where the same setup covers several roofs. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not come inside, and we call before we arrive so you know the crew is on the way. Crews on jobs in Indianapolis use a boom or scissor lift where the roofline is out of reach from a ladder, and we set it up with the same care as any other visit.
Our crew handles the washing services and window cleaning services a homeowner expects, along with clearing gutters and downspouts, and we remove dirt and grime from the glass and frames in the same pass. Runoff from a clogged run is the usual reason a neighbor's wall stays stained, so the gutters go first on every visit. If your schedule is tight, tell us the window you need and we will tell you whether we can fit it.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing them together means the glass is clean when the gutters are finished, not wiped down again afterward.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked. We do not quote a figure without seeing those two things, because two houses with the same square footage can need very different amounts of time on the ladder.
Both the interior and exterior glass collect dust, but in Indianapolis the outside carries most of the buildup: film from spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that show up the next day. The inside is usually clean from ordinary use, so the outside is where a cleaning makes a visible difference.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June and again in late October or November. Those two visits follow the seed season and the leaf drop, so the glass and the gutters are both at their worst right before we arrive.
Not if the gutters are done first. When we clear a run, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across any window below it, so we flush the downspouts and give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass. We rinse with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
Screens are rinsed, frames are wiped and sills are wiped as part of the exterior glass cleaning. Picture windows get the same treatment from the outside, and tracks do too. None of it is billed as an extra on this visit.
We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. This is exterior glass and gutters only, done by the crew in one pass.
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 water and power.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
