Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Indiana the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and most of our Portage customers also book in the fall, so the crew knows what the glass and the gutters look like by then.
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 our window washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Gutters and downspouts get flushed, screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Four things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass, and condos with a long row of them on one side take the longest. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with needles and grime, need more clearing before the water can run and the runoff can reach the downspout. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last one: it is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it.
Our window cleaning services start with a phone estimate. Text us the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and about how many windows face the street and the back. The crew can remove dirt from the glass and frames in one visit, and any etched or mineral spots get a separate quote before the work starts. Call (866) 435-6328 if you would rather talk it through.

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 Portage customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, a fall visit in late October or November and a spring visit that, across Indiana, usually falls in late May or June. Doing both in one visit with one crew suits the regular cleanings most homes need. The spring visit comes after the pollen film on south-facing glass, when the pollen paste has packed the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze can turn a wet run into ice.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, and the same holds for residential and commercial buildings beside tall trees. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we leave. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine dust that shows on the sills within weeks.
Watch for two signs between visits. Windows need it when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and haze can come from the interior and exterior glass alike, though our visit covers only the outside. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you which one it is.
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 crew provides professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning across Portage, for homeowners who want their window cleaners and gutter crew to be the same people. Our service covers residential properties, and every window on the outside of the house gets the same care. To schedule service, start with an estimate by phone or text using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we call before we come, so you know the day before. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the better your chance at a slot. Clogged gutters that wait through a busy stretch are the ones that end up with water damage at the fascia, and we would rather clean them before the spring rain than after. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, and most neighbors see the outside of the house first. We rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no residue to haze the glass. The windows inside are not part of this visit. Our crews handle single-family homes and multi-story buildings alike, and the estimate process is the same for both. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of every window in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. To schedule service, text a photo of the front and we will quote it.
Yes. On a Portage house the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and that dulls a residential window from outside first.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in late fall, the two windows that match the pollen and leaf seasons.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so you get clean windows that stay clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job on residential properties. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing on it.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
