Yes, the same two people on our crew handle professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning, including 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 booking them as two separate trips. On our Madison jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when the leaves and tree grit build up. Use the estimator above to get your number, or call (866) 435-6328.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking window and gutter cleaning as two separate visits. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. This price is for a residential job; residential and commercial work is quoted on its own. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. A film of pollen on the glass is cleaned in the same visit as the rest of the outside.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A big count of windows, or oversized picture windows, adds glass to wash. The number here covers the exterior glass only, because interior and exterior work are separate jobs. Heavily clogged gutters, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a mineral treatment, not cleaning solutions, and it does not come off with regular cleanings.
Send us the stories, the approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text, and the number we give by phone is the number on the invoice. That is the process we use here, and it is all we need to give you an exact number.

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.
On our Madison jobs, most customers book gutter and window cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and seed mat packed in the gutters. April through June are the wettest months in Madison, so the gutters work hardest then. In the fall we find the leaf load packed into clogged gutters, and across Indiana storm season brings supercells with hail and tornadoes, so the dates move.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or multi-story buildings near a busy road or construction all put more on the glass and in the gutters. A sprinkler spot that comes back a day after cleaning is the most common reason we get a call back.
Windows tell you they need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low, since clean windows show no haze at any angle. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout, and that can lead to water damage at the fascia and wall 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.
Booking with us starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We work residential properties in Madison, and each residential window job starts with that estimate. Once we have it, we can schedule service for a slot on the calendar. Lead time is shown in the booking details. The busy stretches are the spring season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills, so booking early in those months gives you the most choice.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works every window from the outside, so you can go about your day.
Yes. The same two people on our crew handle both washing services: the gutters and downspouts, and the outside of the windows, in one visit, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure over the phone.
Often yes, because the outside collects grime, rain dust and any sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, and it is what shows curb appeal from the street. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside pane.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, once the tree bloom is done, and in the fall, after the leaves come down. Booking early in those months gives you more choice of dates.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so runoff from the gutters never lands on the clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. The window tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior glass visit, and we will tell you on the phone if anything falls outside that.
Not on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing. We clean the exterior glass only, for houses and condos alike.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
