Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last so nothing dirty lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Indiana our crew works the same way every spring and fall, and most of our Zionsville customers book this combined visit.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs together in one visit come in below booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our gutter cleaning and window cleaning services share one crew, and the washing services are priced as one job, with window washing counted by the pane. Give us those two figures and a photo of the front of the house by text, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you where it lands.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that is slow to walk adds time. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that need a boom or scissor lift to reach. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed on the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning does not remove, so we flag it before we quote the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, since they are how we remove dirt the wash leaves behind. Condos and multi-unit buildings are quoted after we see the roofline.
Our crew cleaned a two-story house in Zionsville where the quote moved on two points: the front bay of picture windows and a run of gutters that had clogged with leaf mat and grit over several seasons. Those are the things we look at first, and the photos we send after the visit show exactly what was cleared. For an exact figure, text us the number of stories, a count of the windows, and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with it.

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 Zionsville customers book the window and gutter visit twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Pollen is the first thing we see on the glass each spring, a yellow film on south-facing panes, and a damp mat of seed and needle debris packed into the gutters in the same month. In fall the leaf load comes down and fills the runs, and wind or storm seasons can move both dates by a few weeks. Our cleaning solutions are mild enough for screens and frames, and the glass is rinsed with purified water so it dries clear.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment rather than another wash. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frame and sill. These are the cases where we suggest a schedule of regular cleanings instead of two a year, and we set it after the first visit. The same logic holds for residential and commercial buildings with heavy tree cover or sprinkler spotting.
Two different houses show the range. One customer who has no trees around the roof books twice a year and has not needed a third visit. Another, under mature trees and with sprinkler spotting on the front glass, is on three or four visits, because the gutters refill faster and the spotting has to be treated on schedule. We keep notes on each house so the calendar matches what the house actually does.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or streaks on the glass in the morning. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, call us and we will look. Your schedule for interior and exterior glass can differ, and this visit covers the exterior only.
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 have worked across Zionsville, and the crew knows the houses from the older blocks to the newer subdivisions, with a mix of brick, siding and multi-story homes. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate, so call (866) 435-6328 or text to schedule service, and give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We confirm the window count before a date is set. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking ahead for those months keeps your options open. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we arrive.
Our professional window cleaning crew handles residential properties with the same schedule as the homes, and we give every window the same attention, from the top floor down to the sill. Where a run of gutters has clogged gutters from a season of leaves, we clear the full length, not only the stretch that shows from the ground, because water damage usually starts behind the part nobody sees. For multi-story buildings we bring a boom or scissor lift and plan the work by section.
If you want the crew to look before you commit, send a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what we see and what the visit would include. A look at the roofline also shows how much the gutters affect curb appeal. There is no obligation to book from that message.
Yes, our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the number of stories, the size of the house and the window count. Text us those details and a photo of the front, and we will give you the figure before we schedule service.
On a residential window job in Zionsville the outside carries most of the grime: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots on the front glass. Cleaning the outside alone is a real improvement for curb appeal, and the windows inside can wait.
Most of our Zionsville customers book in the spring after the trees bloom and in the fall after the leaves come down. Those are the months our calendar fills first.
No, we do gutters first and glass last. The roof gets cleared, every downspout gets flushed, the wall drains, the sills are wiped to remove dirt, and only then does anyone touch the windows, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our professional window cleaning. Tracks are included on most visits and are noted on the estimate if they need extra time.
Exterior only on this visit, not interior and exterior together. We do not clean the inside of the glass or do pressure washing, but we will tell you what we see on the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
