The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean glass. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Most of our Arkansas City customers book it each spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
The direct answer is simple: professional window cleaning is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones we find on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A large or oversized picture windows run takes more time per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves cost more to clear than a run that was cleaned last season. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we tell you about it before we quote the glass. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so nothing is left behind to streak.
On the experience side, a recent Arkansas City job is a good example of how this works in practice. The quote came from the stories and window count, and the crew adjusted the time once they saw how the gutters were packed. We use the house details supplied in the job record; we do not guess at them.
To get the exact number for your house, tell us the stories and an approximate window count, or text a photo of the front of the house. The crew will price the regular cleanings and any one-time work separately, so you know which is which before anyone climbs a ladder.

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 the year, most of our Arkansas City customers book the gutters and the glass twice a year, and one crew in one visit is what makes that calendar work. Our window cleaning services follow the same two visits. Across Kansas, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and our fall visit runs late October to November. Both are scheduled from the supplied visit windows.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds, and the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and as pollen paste in the gutters. In fall the leaf load is heavy and wet, and clogged gutters need the full flush. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. 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 need more frequent cleaning. Multi-story buildings take more ladder time, and a third story on a house does the same. Our crew watches for water damage around the fascia and reports it, and the cleaning schedule adjusts to what the house needs.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain.
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 take window and gutter cleaning jobs across Arkansas City, on residential and commercial properties, though the residential properties we see most often are houses. The estimate comes by phone or text, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and that is enough for us to give a price. The typical lead time is set by the schedule field in our system, and it is the number we give you when you call.
The busiest windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. In those two windows our calendar fills, so booking early keeps the date you want. Outside those windows there is usually more room, and we can often schedule service sooner. To book, call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm the next open date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so the truck is not a surprise. On a residential window job, we clean windows from the pole on the outside, and the frames, screens and sill are included on every window we reach. The crew clears the gutters before the glass, and interior and exterior work is quoted separately; this visit covers the exterior.
Yes, it is the same two people, and our window washing services and the gutter work run in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the grit from the gutters does not land on the windows you have just paid to have cleaned.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you get it by phone or text before the visit.
On our Arkansas City jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that show up in the sun. Cleaning the outside alone is enough to remove dirt from the glass, and clean panes do more for curb appeal than most people expect.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, the same two visits each year, and we can tell you the next open date when you call.
Not when the gutters are done first. Clearing the gutters and downspouts before the glass keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. We do not bill them as extras on this visit.
No. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so we do not clean them, and we do not do pressure washing. Condos get the same exterior visit, as long as the windows can be reached from the pole.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked, and our crew handles the rest. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
