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. Across Indiana, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that is the calendar we work to here in Shelbyville.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what it comes to.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder than single-story ones, so the story count goes on the estimate first. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the cleaning solutions for frames and sills are included too.
Across Indiana, the houses we see most often arrive with a window and gutter cleaning need that has been building since the last visit, and the first step is the same everywhere: count the stories, count the windows roughly, and tell us what the gutters look like from the ground. We do not need a tour of the inside, since this is an exterior job and interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate conversations. The same count works for residential and commercial jobs, but the figures on this page are for homes.
Regular cleanings are priced as one visit, so a regular schedule does not add a surcharge for each run. Ask for a written estimate before the crew is booked and you will see every line, including the flush and the haul-off, before anyone climbs a ladder. This is also the point to mention if the house has picture windows or a large number of panes on the second floor, since those change the time on the ladder more than the square footage does.

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 jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on that schedule. On the glass in spring, which runs late May to June across Indiana, the pollen film sits on south-facing windows and the pollen paste sets in the gutters. The fall visit, late October to November, clears the wet leaf load before it packs. Clean windows are a large part of the curb appeal a house shows from the street, and both visits keep that glass clear. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, and we schedule around them rather than ahead of them.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit reach the downspouts and clogged gutters between cleanings. A clogged run that overflows in a wet spring can lead to water damage at the fascia, and April, May and June are the wettest months here. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after the cleaning. A house close to a busy road or an active construction site collects grime faster than the rest. These are the properties where our cleaning services get booked on a tighter cycle, and they are easy to spot in the first estimate.
What we find on the glass tells us most of what we need to know. Our window cleaners look for haze that only shows up when the sun is low, which is the sign windows are overdue even if they look clear from the street. On the gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain, and that usually means the runs are full, not that the slope is wrong. Professional window cleaning on a schedule keeps the glass from ever reaching that point.
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 books window and gutter cleaning around Shelbyville on a rolling calendar. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a window in the next call. Lead time depends on the season and is given to you when we confirm the booking.
We clean residential properties and every residential window on the same visit, which is what most homeowners here ask for. Our crew works the outside of every window on the house, including the upper stories, and we wipe the sill and frame on each one so the clean windows read as finished from the street. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits described above. Those are when our calendar fills first, so the sooner you call, the easier the date. Outside those windows there is usually more room. Give us the stories and the window count now and the estimate is ready before the crew is scheduled.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, working gutters first and glass last so the dirty runoff does not land on clean panes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work come on one appointment and one invoice.
We give that number by phone or text after we know the stories and the approximate size of the house. There is no range we quote without those details, and the number we give you is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what dulls the glass here: pollen film in spring, road grime, and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside pane, so the outside is where the visible haze comes from.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, when the pollen and the leaves have built up. If your house is under heavy trees, a third visit can make sense, and we will say so on the estimate.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the leaves and grit from the gutters run down the wall and across it, so the order is the reason the windows come out clean.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and none of it is billed as an extra. Our washing services include all of it, and it is listed in the estimate you get before the crew arrives.
No, on this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, so windows inside the house stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need those, tell us and we will say what we can and cannot do.
You do not need to be home. Condos work the same way, but tell us which windows and gutters are yours before we book, since shared glass may belong to the building. 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.
