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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our New Haven jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, once the trees have bloomed out and once the leaves are down.
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 doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window washing and window cleaning services are quoted as one bundle, so you pay once for both washing services. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Quote details, including the bundle difference, come from the stories and window count you give us.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that is hard to work safely, oversized panes and high upper windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Heavy grime on the glass adds time, and so does runoff staining under a clogged downspout. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a typical two-story house with a large run of picture windows across the back and gutters packed with grit under heavy trees, the quote runs higher because the crew spends more time on each run. The crew clears gutters and downspouts run by run, flushes each downspout until it runs clear, wipes the sills and will remove dirt from the frames before leaving. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it is and roughly how many windows face the street and the yard. Companies that price by linear footage land in a similar place, but we work from what is on your house. Condos and commercial buildings in the same area follow the same method, quoted per building and scheduled around the lease.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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, the spring visit runs late May to June. In New Haven, the fall visit lands in late October to November, and most of our residential and commercial customers book both gutters and exterior windows at both ends of the year. Our visit covers exterior work only, so interior and exterior cleaning are never mixed on one invoice. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this schedule.
In late spring the glass picks up a pollen film, especially on the south-facing panes, and the downspout elbows fill with pollen paste. Spring film and fall leaf grit call for different cleaning solutions, so the crew adjusts the approach by season. In late fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and it stays in the gutters into winter. Heavy tree cover over the roof, or a sprinkler line hitting the glass, changes the picture: those are the homes that come back for a third visit, because the spots return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster as well. Cleanings are scheduled to match these conditions rather than a fixed calendar.
Most houses on our schedule keep to two regular cleanings a year. A house with a heavy canopy and a sprinkler line may come back three or four times a year. Once we know what your lot does, we set the cadence and say so in writing.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running through the downspouts.
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 window cleaners serve residential properties across the New Haven area, cleaning gutters and exterior windows on each home, and we follow professional window cleaning practice throughout. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. From there we give a firm date.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are the spring rush and the late fall leaf drop, when the calendar fills and the cleaning services we offer are in highest demand. Book early in those months to keep your preferred date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the windows inside stay untouched on this visit, but we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way.
We also watch for water damage on the way in. A downspout that is backed up or a run that is sagging is photographed and noted in the report, so you see it before it becomes a repair problem. Multi-story buildings and homes with clogged gutters get the same careful route to the top floor, and every window on the house is checked before we leave. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, which is why we check the sills and frames too.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so dirty gutter water does not run down onto the glass.
The quote comes from the stories and the window count, not a flat guess. Text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you the number by phone or text.
Our residential window work uses the same water-fed pole and purified water on every home we clean. Commercial jobs are quoted per building and scheduled around the lease.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Inside glass is a separate question we do not handle on this visit.
The fall visit in New Haven lands in late October or November, and across Indiana the spring visit runs late May to June. Call to schedule service before the calendar fills, since both windows fill fast.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and frame wiping is included too, so the clean windows come out with no dust left on the frame.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
