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 nothing that comes off the roof ends up on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Every residential window on the house gets the same care, which is what gives the front of the home its curb appeal. Across Iowa, most of our customers book spring and fall, once each season, when the leaves and grit are heaviest on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote by phone.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We would rather you hear it before the truck arrives than find it on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Gutters and downspouts get cleared in the same pass, so our crew sees the window washing and the gutter work as one run of the same ladder, which is why the bundle makes sense for most houses.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough count of the windows. The crew reads the photo for the roofline, the sprinkler heads and any runs that look packed. Where a house has a lot of glass or heavy grime, the washing services and cleaning solutions we bring are sized to the job, and the crew notes what it saw so the quote matches what gets done. Clogged gutters that have been left a long time can also hold water that drips back down the wall, and the runoff from that is one reason we start with the roof.
If you have a larger building or a set of condos, ask for a written estimate that lists each building separately. Our window cleaning services are priced the same way, so you see the cost of each building before anyone sets a ladder. The crew will also tell you when a run needs a second visit to remove dirt that a first pass leaves behind, and what we would expect to find on the next visit.

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 Iowa, most of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense. In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat settles into the downspouts before the first hard freeze.
Some houses need regular cleanings beyond the two a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and big picture windows show every one of them. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than the glass can handle. We will tell you which of these applies to your house after the first visit, and we will put the photos in the report so you can see what we found.
Two signs tell you the windows need attention sooner than planned. One is a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. The other is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain, which means the run is blocked or the slope has shifted. Either one is worth a call and a photo, and neither is something a homeowner needs to climb up to check.
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 Bettendorf and the homes and buildings around it. Our professional window cleaning crew keeps the cleaning services calendar tight enough to answer the phone the same week. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and the crew confirms the price and a slot. The lead time varies with the season, and we will give you the actual date when you call. Call before we come, every time, so you know the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills in both, so it helps to book early. If you are planning ahead, a slot in the shoulder weeks is easier to get than one at the peak, and clean windows stay clean longer when the job lands before the busy weeks. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew never comes inside, so the windows inside are left alone. The photos go to your phone as each run is finished.
We work on residential properties, and the same crew handles residential and commercial properties, including multi-story buildings, plus the jobs other crews skip because of height or access. Water damage from a clogged run is one of the reasons we are called out in the middle of a season, and the crew will look at the fascia and the wall beneath the run while it is up there.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the debris from the roof off the clean glass.
We give the number by phone or text from the stories and the size of the house, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Text a photo of the front of the house and the window count, and we will give you the exact figure.
Usually the outside takes the most punishment here. Dust, rain and sprinkler spotting collect on the exterior, so cleaning the inside alone leaves the haze in place. Our crew cleans the outside of every window, including the sill and frame.
Most of our Bettendorf customers book in late spring and again in fall after the leaves come down. Book early for either window because the calendar fills.
No, because we clean the gutters first and rinse the wall before we touch the glass. Washing the windows first means someone has to wash them again once the gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. None of this is billed as an extra on the invoice.
Not on this visit. Cleaning interior and exterior glass is a different job, and this booking covers the exterior only. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
