Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass does not get dirty twice. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Indiana, most of the homes we service are cleaned twice a year, once in spring and once in fall.
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.
The direct answer: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, booking both in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and 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, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, 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. The jobs that take the longest are the ones with a lot of window washing left to do and gutters that have gone years without a cleaning.
Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will work out the number with you on the phone. Across Indiana we have seen the washing services and window cleaning services that cost the most come down to the same few factors: height, window count, and how long the gutters have gone without attention. Grime on the glass and gutters builds faster than most owners expect, and regular cleanings keep each visit short. Picture windows and the larger panes take more care, and we say so on the quote rather than adding it later. Interior and exterior glass is priced separately, but this visit covers the outside only.
| 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 both twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On the glass in spring we find a film of pollen on south-facing windows, and the pollen paste sits in the gutters after the seed drop. In fall the leaf load comes down all at once, and the wind and storm seasons move the dates a week or two in either direction. Some houses need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, or a house near a busy road or construction. Our window and gutter work on those houses is set on a shorter interval because the debris keeps arriving between visits.
Most of our customers who have only a few trees book once a year in late fall and find it is enough. Cleaning solutions are only part of it; the physical clearing of clogged gutters and the flushing of the downspouts is what keeps water moving. Residential properties follow the same logic, and so do residential and commercial buildings. On multi-story buildings the upper runs are the ones that go unnoticed until water damage shows up on the siding. You will know the glass needs attention when haze shows only in low sun, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain and the runoff lands on the siding below.
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 has cleaned gutters and windows across the Lafayette area, and the way to book is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate the same conversation. Our lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call, and we will tell you the honest first date rather than promise one we cannot keep. The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest, so booking early in those months gets you a slot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you are not surprised by the truck.
We are one of several professional window cleaning services and window cleaners who work in the area, and we know the schedule service here is what keeps the curb appeal of a house steady through the year. Every residential window we can reach from the ground or a pole gets cleaned after the gutters and downspouts are done, and we flag any sill with damage rather than guessing at it. Houses and condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order is what keeps the glass from being dirtied again after we clean it.
There is no fixed figure we can give without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and you can get it by phone or by text with a photo of the front of the house.
Usually yes, because the outside collects rain dust, dirt and sprinkler spots between visits. Across Indiana those are what dull a residential window before the inside does.
Across Indiana the spring visit falls in late May to June, and most Lafayette customers book the fall visit for late October to November. Booking one of those windows early gets you a slot on the calendar.
Not when the gutters are done first. When the glass is washed first, the leaves, grit and black water from the runs come down the wall and onto it, so we clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, and only then clean the windows.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt before they go back up, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks that need more than a wipe are noted on the quote before work starts.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing, but we are happy to quote those separately if you need them.
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.
