Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and having both jobs done together costs less than two separate trips. Across Indiana, most of our customers book this in the spring and the fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest. Tell us your stories and a rough window count, and we give you the number we will charge.
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 single visit that does both the gutters and the outside glass costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and the same two inputs drive the quote for any residential and commercial building we are asked to look at. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are mostly purified water, so nothing is left behind to streak.
On the day, what moves the quote is what the crew actually finds. A third story or a steep roof means a longer setup for a boom or scissor lift. A large count of windows or oversized picture windows takes more time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers will not come off with any cleaning, so we flag it before we start. Our quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior cleanings are never bundled into one number.
On our Lawrence jobs, the quotes that surprised people were usually the ones where the windows had not been cleaned in a long stretch and the gutters were full of grime from the same trees. The fastest way to get your exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and a rough count of windows, and we will come back with a figure before anyone climbs a ladder. For regular cleanings, the first visit sets the baseline, and the next quote starts from what the crew recorded that day.
| 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.
Most of our customers in Lawrence book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this city. Across Indiana, the spring visit runs late May to June, after the seed drop has finished, and the fall visit is late October to November, after the last leaves have come down. Our crew handles the cleaning services for both in a single trip, which is professional window cleaning and gutter work done as one job, so the calendar stays simple.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In the spring the pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters, and the downspout elbows pack with seed. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and houses that skipped the fall visit tend to show sagging runs by the next winter. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we look at the house as it is when we arrive.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a heavier layer, and multi-story buildings pick up more grit on the upper runs. A customer with no trees and no sprinkler problem is usually fine with the two visits, while a house under heavy trees can end up on a three- or four-visit schedule.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a dull front glass hurts the curb appeal of the house. The sign that gutters need cleaning sooner is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, and left alone that can turn into water damage at the fascia. Either one is a good reason to call us before the next scheduled visit, and we will tell you plainly what we see when we get there. Our visits cover the outside only, so the windows inside are never part of the schedule.
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 homes across Lawrence, and the easiest way to book is a quick estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will give you a number from those two things. Our typical lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. During the two busy windows of the year, spring seed and fall leaves, our calendar fills faster, so booking early helps.
Every estimate is for exterior work only, which means the outside of the windows and the gutters. Nobody needs to be home for the job, and we call before we come, so you know when to expect the crew. Once on site, the crew works from the ground and from the ladder, cleans every window the house has on the outside, and sends photos of each run before they leave. Our residential properties and clean windows are handled the same way on every visit, and every residential window gets the same treatment from the ground or the ladder.
If you want a single visit that covers the window and gutter cleaning together, we will walk through each step on the phone so there are no surprises. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will confirm the date, the arrival window and the number before the crew is on the way.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows, done by the same two people in one visit, and we always do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the dirty runoff off the clean panes.
We do not give a figure in writing without the details. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, or the stories and window count for a condo, and we give it by phone or text. Tell us the stories and send a photo of the front, and we will quote it before the visit.
On our Lawrence jobs, the outside carries most of what dulls the glass, so that is where we remove dirt first: seed and grime in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Inside glass can look fine while the outside has a haze you only see when the sun is low.
Most customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, timed around the seed drop and the leaf fall. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills, so booking early helps. Call (866) 435-6328 for the next open date.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush the runs, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. Doing it the other way round means someone has to wash the windows a second time.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Window tracks are handled on the same visit where they are reachable from the outside.
No. Our window cleaning services on this visit are exterior glass only, so we do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home, and condos get the same visit as a house. 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. Text us a photo of the roofline if you have questions before we arrive.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
