Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. Most of our Cedar Falls customers book it in the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves have built up on the house.
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 quote covers cleaning services on the outside of the house. Doing gutters and windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. The phone number covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never folded into it.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a steep roof adds time to reach safely, and oversized panes and picture windows take more care. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run that was done last year. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning at all. A run that has backed up for years may already be doing harm at the fascia, and the crew tells you when it sees it. A boom or scissor lift is sometimes needed for the back of a tall house, and we tell you before we bring one.
Keeping up with regular cleanings lowers the quote, because a run that is cleared every year takes far less time than one left for a decade. Every visit starts with the gutters, then the glass. To get your exact number, send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you what the job will cover.

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 Cedar Falls customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste of seed and grit packed in the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is the main thing, and on houses that skip the fall visit, clogged gutters sag under winter ice by March. Booking both seasons keeps that from happening.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the gutters and downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction gets grime on the frames faster than most, and we remove dirt from the frames on every visit, not just the pane. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we look at the house each time rather than going by the calendar.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout, and that water is what leads to water damage at the wall. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, so catching the haze early is worth it. If you see either, call us and we will book a date.
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 clean residential window and gutter cleaning jobs across Cedar Falls, including homes in the older neighborhoods near downtown and in the newer subdivisions on the edges of town. We book professional window cleaning for every house, and the gutter work comes with it. Our crews work on residential properties of all sizes, and we treat every window on the house the same way, from the big panes to the small upstairs ones. Each sill gets wiped as part of the job, so you do not pay for it separately. Clean windows and clear gutters are what you are booking, and that is what we deliver.
To book, you call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We send an estimate and set a date that fits. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves come down and the spring haze builds up, our calendar fills faster. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and the gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters does not land on clean panes.
Our washing services are priced from the stories and the approximate window count. Send us both by text, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before anyone comes out.
The outside carries most of what dims a window here: spring haze, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that come back. Cleaning the outside alone takes care of the layer the weather puts on the glass.
Most of our Cedar Falls customers book in the spring and the fall, after the spring haze builds and the leaves come down. Those are the two visits that keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear.
No. We clear the roof edge, flush every downspout, and give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass. Gutters first, glass last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks come with the visit, so there is no separate line item. Send the stories and a photo by text for condos or any residential and commercial building, and we tell you whether the same visit fits.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing here, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
