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 the runoff from the roof never lands on panes we have already cleaned. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Our crew has done this work across Kansas, and most of the calls we take are for the spring and fall visits, when pollen and leaves have built up on the glass and in the gutters.
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 quote for window and gutter cleaning in Atchison comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window washing separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew handles the window cleaning services and the gutter work with the same two people, so there is no second setup fee, and the washing services for both stay on one invoice.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that change the figure. A third story or a steep roof means more ladder time and a boom or scissor lift on some runs. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take longer to rinse. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out heavy with grime and packed leaf matter, and they take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler heads hitting the glass is the one thing a standard cleaning will not remove, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is what a typical Atchison job looks like from our side. One customer with a two-story house and a long rear run had us out last year, and the quote moved mostly because the back gutters had not been cleared in several seasons and a lift was needed to reach the second-story glass. The crew flushed each downspout until the runoff ran clear and photographed every run before and after. Other houses differ, so the quickest route to your exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count.
Gutters and downspouts that have been left alone collect runoff that stains the siding below, and the crew clears that too. Ask us to remove dirt from the sill line at the same time, since it costs little more on the same visit. Condos follow the same pricing as houses, by stories and window count, but shared gutters and downspouts on a building need a look first.
| 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 Atchison customers book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste, and by fall the leaf load is the main problem. Plain water lifts most of it, so the crew uses few cleaning solutions on the glass unless a film needs one. Across Kansas, the timing shifts a little with weather, but the pattern holds. The same timing applies to residential and commercial buildings, since seasonal debris and leaf fall follow the calendar rather than the property type. Storm and wind seasons can move a date, so we book against what the house has actually collected.
Some houses need more than two visits. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit that pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers are on a three- or four-visit schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those houses need a closer look each time. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the exterior, and it may need an extra visit as well. For a typical house with no trees and no sprinkler spotting, twice a year covers it, and regular cleanings keep the glass and the gutters from getting ahead of the crew.
You will see windows need attention when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the sky. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. If either happens between visits, call us and we will look. If you want the interior and exterior done together, we only do the exterior on this visit, so ask about the interior separately.
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 window cleaners and gutter crew work the whole of Atchison, and we book slots by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm date and time window. Lead time depends on the season, and during the busy stretches of spring and fall our calendar fills, so it helps to book early. Professional window cleaning and gutter work follow the same order on every house: the crew calls before it leaves and again when it arrives. Clean glass and clear gutters also add to the curb appeal of the front of the house, and the photos we send show the difference.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and anything that needs the windows inside cleaned or a repair is noted in the report rather than handled on the visit. Clogged gutters are the usual reason we are called out between scheduled visits, and water damage to the fascia or siding often starts at the same runs. We would rather clear a run before the water finds the wall than clean the glass under a leak. Multi-story buildings in Atchison follow the same booking path, with the lift arranged in advance. The crew cleans every window it can reach safely from outside, and the rest goes in the report.
Yes, the same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on the clean windows afterward.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and the same method applies to residential properties in Atchison. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the figure before the crew is scheduled.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries most of what collects here, including the spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film on the glass.
Most of our customers book in late spring and again in fall, which is when the spring film and leaves build up. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service early in those months, since the calendar fills.
Not if the order is right. Gutters go first, so the runoff clears before anyone touches the windows, which is why we do not reverse the order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks take a little longer, and we note them on the quote.
We clean the exterior of every window on this visit, and we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing here. If you want the interior and exterior done, book that separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn off sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
