Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together in one trip costs less than two separate visits. Across Indiana, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when pollen and falling leaves build up fastest on the house.
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 is that we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs are done in one visit for less than two separate bookings, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. We do not quote a price from a photo of the house alone; we need the stories and a rough window count first. Our window cleaning services use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and the same quote method covers residential and commercial buildings.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. Multi-story buildings take longer, and a third story or a roof too steep to walk needs a boom or scissor lift. Oversized picture windows and tall sills add time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and a run that backs up for a season can cause water damage at the fascia. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced on the day you book. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing no cleaning removes; we flag it on the first visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are separate scopes, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Here is how to get an exact number. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and tell us roughly how many windows face outward. We will confirm the window count on the phone. Most of the time that is enough to give you a firm figure before anyone books a date. If the gutters have not been opened since the last owner, mention it, because that is the single biggest surprise on a first visit.
Some of our Mishawaka customers have a lot of mature trees over the roof, and their gutters fill faster than a house with an open yard. Others have a sprinkler line that hits the glass, which leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Both change the scope, and we tell you before we start, not after. Ask for the estimate in writing if you want the details on paper before you decide.
| 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 services twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. The calendar follows the house rather than the date on the wall. Our fall visits usually land in late October to November, and regular cleanings then keep the leaf load from settling in the gutters.
In spring, the pollen drops onto south-facing glass as a yellow film and settles into the gutters as a paste that holds water. In fall, the leaf load arrives all at once and the wet mat blocks the downspouts before the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we book from what the house is doing rather than a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover means clogged gutters come back quickly, with needles and grit packing the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that return a day later, which is the sign a mineral treatment is needed rather than another wash. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a fine grime that clouds the glass faster than a quiet street. We see these patterns on our own jobs, and we set the schedule with you based on them.
You will notice the glass needs cleaning when a faint haze shows only when the sun is low, and that haze takes away from curb appeal. You will notice the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign means the visit is due, whatever the calendar says. Water damage is the one to watch, since May, June and August are the wettest months here.
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 window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city, and we work through each residential window on the house in one pass rather than in separate trips, so the clean windows and the cleared gutters are finished on a single visit. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the next open slot. Lead time varies with the season, and we give you the actual date when we confirm the booking rather than promising a fixed wait. Our cleaning services cover residential properties across the city, and the booking steps are the same for each one.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop. In those weeks the calendar fills, so if you want a slot in April or October, book early rather than waiting for the first warm day. Outside those windows, we can usually schedule service with a shorter lead time.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Professional window cleaning means the crew calls before it comes, both on the way and when it arrives, so you know the crew is on site. Ladders go up only after the gate is open and the cars are off the driveway, and every window and every run gets photographed before the truck leaves.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we do the gutters first. That order keeps the dirty runoff off the glass we have already finished.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we confirm the figure before you book.
Yes, if the outside carries the film, grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Those sit on the outer surface, so washing the windows inside the house does not remove them. We clean the exterior glass to remove dirt from the outside and leave the inside to you.
Across Indiana most customers book in spring and fall. Our Mishawaka customers tend to book in the spring season and again when the leaves drop, which is when the glass and gutters need it most.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends the leaves and grit down the wall, so we rinse the siding and let it drip before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services. Tracks are included in the same pass when they are reachable from outside. We do not bill those as separate extras.
We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not pressure wash on this visit. The work is exterior glass only, with the gutters and downspouts done alongside it.
The same steps apply to condos. You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
