Yes, 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 the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across Indiana, most of our customers book this combined visit in spring and fall, and we work the same way on every house we clean.
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 window washing and gutters by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs change the work more than anything else, because a third story or a roof we cannot walk means boom or scissor lift time. Multi-story buildings and tall houses also need more setup, and professional window cleaning on them is quoted by the story. Window count matters too, along with picture windows and other oversized panes that take more care. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we point it out on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Lowell jobs show how this plays out. Clogged gutters on a two-story house with a lot of glass cost more time than a clean single-story run, and a house with water damage behind a downspout gets photographed and reported before we do anything else. To get an exact number, send us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will come back with the figure before anyone is on a ladder. It is a question of exterior curb appeal and keeping the glass clean, and the crew will tell you what it finds.
| 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 two cleanings a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for regular cleanings. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass, and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, along with the wind and storm seasons that move dates on us. Houses under heavy tree cover, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a place near a busy road or construction usually need a third visit, and a residential window that catches sprinkler spray is the first one we check. The sign that clean windows have gone dull is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service for the first visit and we will tell you which schedule fits the house.
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 book the estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot. Lead time depends on the calendar, and during the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaf loads peak, the schedule fills faster. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We work on residential and commercial properties alike. The crew handles the washing services and window cleaning services that residential properties need, and we also take on small condos and storefronts, where the grime on the glass and the runoff from gutters and downspouts need the same attention. Some window cleaners only do glass and leave the gutters for a second visit, and we do both in one. We clear the buildup and remove dirt from the frames and sills, we clean every window we can reach from outside, and we leave the job with photos.
Some window cleaners only do glass, but we do both on exterior work in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us those details and we will quote it.
Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, and on our Lowell jobs the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from outside first. Interior work is not something we do on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and in fall, after the pollen and leaf drop, and that timing is where the crew finds the most build-up.
No, we clear the gutters first and flush the downspouts, then let the wall dry before we touch the glass, so nothing runs down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are done as part of the exterior job, and none of it is billed separately. Frames get cleaning solutions only where grime sits on them, and the glass itself is rinsed with purified water.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of this job, and pressure washing is not either.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. Text a photo of the roofline if you want us to confirm the stories before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
