Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the glass stays clean. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Indiana, most of our customers book both in spring and fall, when the leaves and grit are heaviest on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will ask for the stories and a photo of the front.
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, whether it is window washing, professional window cleaning or both. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that is slow to work, a window count that includes oversized panes and picture windows, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years and 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. We will call back with the figure before anyone is booked. Gutters that have gone long without cleaning often show clogged gutters at the outlet, and the packed runs can hide water damage behind the fascia that only shows once the debris is out. Water left standing in a clogged run spills as runoff down the wall below. The crew photographs both when it finds them and sends the photos with the report, so you see the condition before we ask for a decision.
| 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 twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Cleaning services booked on that pattern suit most residential window and gutter customers, and regular cleanings keep the grime from setting. At each visit we look at the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters, and we check the leaf load in the fall. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road all bring on a third visit, because spots that come back a day after cleaning point to water rather than dirt.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and it shows up on every window that faces the weather. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. To schedule service, our crew sets the next visit from what it finds on the glass and in the runs, and books the date with you before we leave the house. A visit that lands before the haze builds is the easiest way to remove dirt from the glass.
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 works across West Lafayette, and we book from a phone call at (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months keeps your preferred date open. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. The crew handles residential properties and also cleans commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings and condos, so the same two-person approach covers residential and commercial jobs. Our washing services cover the glass and the runs, and our window cleaning services follow the same visit pattern. We will name the lead time for your house when we give the estimate.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first so that dirty water does not run across the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will call back with the figure.
On our West Lafayette jobs the outside carries rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime that build up between visits, and that is what takes the curb appeal off a house. Interior cleaning does not remove any of it, so the outside is where the buildup shows.
Across Indiana, most of our customers book two cleanings a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November. Booking early in those months keeps your date open.
Not when the gutters are done first. Gutters first, glass last keeps the leaves, grit and black water off the windows below.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, and nothing is billed as an extra.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of this job. The glass is rinsed with purified water on a water-fed pole, so no cleaning solutions are left on the frame.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
