Yes, 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 in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Emporia jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up.
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 work by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and windows together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with seeds and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote is for the exterior, and if you want interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate quote.
On our Emporia jobs, the first thing we see is seed paste in the gutter elbows and film on south-facing glass. Once the crew has looked at both, the quote stands. Stories, window count and what is in the gutters decide the number, so the fastest way to an exact price is to text us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house.
| 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.
On our Emporia jobs, most customers book both cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Kansas, spring visits usually land in late May to June, and in Emporia fall visits fall in late October to November, with the weather setting the exact dates each year.
In spring the pollen film is on the south-facing glass and seed paste is in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that leave clogged gutters and block the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move either date, so we book against what we see on the house rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit between regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Runoff from a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects more dust on the frames. Professional window cleaning on these houses runs on a shorter cycle, and that is the call we make after the first visit.
You will know it is time when a haze shows on your clean windows only in low sun. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Water that sheets down the wall is how water damage usually starts, so do not wait for that.
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 is simple: you text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count, and we send a quote the same day. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are at their worst, so an early text gets you an earlier slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Call (866) 435-6328 if you would rather talk it through.
Our crew does window and gutter cleaning across Emporia, with the same two-person process on every house. Whether it is one of many residential properties or a row of condos on a shared lot, the crew sets up the same way and works gutters first, glass last. The crew quotes residential and commercial buildings by the same stories and window count, and multi-story buildings get the same setup. Every window on the exterior gets the same purified-water rinse, with no cleaning solutions left on the glass. On a residential window the frame gets wiped and the sill is cleaned before the crew leaves.
We schedule service around your calendar and the weather, and we confirm the window the day before. If a slot is tight, tell us your first choice and we will tell you the closest date we can hold.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two people on one visit. We do the gutters first so that dirty water does not end up on the clean glass.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anyone is booked.
On our Emporia jobs the outside carries most of the grime: film from the air, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning it removes dirt that shows in low sun and helps curb appeal, even when the inside looks fine.
Our Emporia customers usually book in spring and again in fall, after the leaves come down.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Cleaning the glass before the gutters means washing it twice, which is why we do not do it that way.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
Exterior only on this visit. The windows inside are not part of it, and we do not offer pressure washing services.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. 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.
