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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Indianola jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when seed and leaves build up enough to matter.
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 window and gutter cleaning 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 you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. Oversized panes and high picture windows add time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Houses on regular cleanings usually take less time than ones that have gone years without one. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are billed by the foot, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs stronger cleaning solutions and is a separate treatment that no routine cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Indianola work, a two-story house with a row of picture windows and a light cover of seed on the gutters was quoted by stories and window count over the phone, then confirmed by a photo of the front of the house. The crew found the gutters held more seed and pollen paste than the photo showed, and the quote stayed where it was because the window count and stories had been right. If you send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the number of stories, we can give you the exact number before anyone comes out. Our price sheet for residential and commercial buildings is separate, so this page covers homes only. We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior window work is not part of it.
| 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.
Most of our Indianola customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in the spring after the seed drop, and once in the fall after the leaves are down. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs, and why our cleaning services are booked as a single visit.
In spring we find a dust film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is the bigger problem, a wet mat packed into the runs that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, and window cleaners who only go by the calendar miss the weeks that matter, so we book from the weather, not the calendar on the wall.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. Multi-story buildings with long gutter runs need more ladder setups, which adds time to the visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit on the sills faster than the others. Professional window cleaning with a water-fed pole reaches those panes without a ladder, so the third visit is about reach as much as dirt. On those houses we suggest a third visit, and we say so after the first job rather than on the phone.
Clogged gutters that go unchecked can lead to water damage at the fascia and soffit, so the sign to book sooner is water sheeting over the edge in rain. For windows, the sign is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon, and haze on the front glass is the first thing the street sees, which hurts curb appeal. Both are reasons to call us before the next scheduled visit. This visit covers the outside of the glass only, so windows inside are not part of the price.
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.
Booking starts with a phone call or a text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate in the same conversation. When the calendar is full in the two busy windows of the year, we tell you the first open date rather than promising a slot we do not have. To get on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and we start from there.
We clean residential properties and clean windows of every size, including picture windows and tall glass on two and three story homes. The crew cleans every window on the exterior, and each sill is wiped, so a residential window gets the same treatment whether it sits at ground level or on the top floor. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Once you have a date, you can schedule service by phone or text and we confirm the day before. Our window and gutter cleaning in Indianola is booked as a single visit with one crew, so you do not have to coordinate two companies.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, with gutters and downspouts done first and the glass last. The same two people go up the ladder for the gutters and then do the outside of the windows, so you deal with one company and one bill.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and our window cleaning services are quoted on that basis. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us those two numbers and we quote the exact figure before the visit, and that is the number you pay.
On our Indianola jobs, the outside collects grime from rain, road dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull from the street even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside alone is a normal visit for many of our customers.
Most of our customers here book in the spring after the seed drop and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Those two visits keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear through the seasons that load them most.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black runoff come down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass has to wait until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work on the exterior, and we remove dirt from the frame edges at the same time.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows, and we do not offer pressure washing services on this visit. That applies to condos as well as single-family homes.
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 the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. The crew brings its own water and power.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
