Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Iowa, most of our customers book this in the spring and the fall, when the seed and leaf loads are heaviest.
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, with nothing added on the day.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows and a high number of panes, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts is part of the job price, and so are screen rinsing and sill wiping, which are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are included too.
Getting an exact number is simple. Send us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you what the job runs before we book it. The residential and commercial jobs we run, including multi-story buildings, follow the same method that builds a quote here.
| 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 Iowa, most of our customers book both services twice a year, once in spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
In spring we find a film of pollen on south-facing glass and a paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and clogged gutters full of wet leaves are the usual cause of water damage we see at the eaves. Our fall visits usually run late October to November, and across Iowa spring visits run late May to June. Storms and wind seasons can move these dates, so we keep an eye on the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, since the cleanings twice a year do not keep up. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house close to a busy road or construction all tend to need one. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the glass from building up in those cases, so regular cleanings are worth setting up early.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters show water sheeting over the edge in the rain. Our cleaning services cover both, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, so we are glad to set up the next visit.
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 schedule service by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot and the lead time before we come. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive.
Our crew handles window and gutter cleaning on houses across North Liberty. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties and residential window work across the area. We clean every window on the outside, sill and frame included, so the glass and the sill line up when we finish, and clean windows and clear gutters both come out of one visit.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a date in those months, book early. Book a date now and we will hold it for you.
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 runoff from the gutters off the clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us the stories and a photo of the front, whether it is a house or a condo, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number before we book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the most of what dirties a window here. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up as grime on the glass, and cleaning the outside alone is enough to remove dirt that rain only pushes around.
Most of our North Liberty customers book in the spring and the fall. Across Iowa the spring and fall visits are the busiest, so booking early keeps your date.
Not if we do it in the right order. Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is done after that.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the outside clean. None of these are billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We keep the interior and exterior work separate, and pressure washing is not part of our washing services on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
