Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across Kansas, our crews book this pairing in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves come down hardest.
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 price for window and gutter cleaning comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window counts that include oversized panes, clogged gutters that nobody has opened in years and that are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Work on multi-story buildings takes longer to reach, and a run left clogged for years can turn into water damage at the fascia. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get an exact number, send the stories, the rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house. A cleaning solutions question, a question about residential and commercial jobs, or a question about cleanings you have had before all go into the same estimate. We do exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate work, and picture windows are counted by pane. If you already do regular cleanings on the same schedule, tell us, because that changes how we plan the visit.
| 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 Merriam customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Cleaning services scheduled on that rhythm catch the pollen film on south-facing glass and the tree seed and needle paste packed into the gutters, then the leaf load that follows. Professional window cleaning on that rhythm also removes the grime before it bonds to the glass. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates by a few weeks, so we book against the weather, not the calendar.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In the spring, the film on the glass and the paste in the gutter elbows are the first thing on the ladder. In the fall, it is the wet leaf mat and the grit under it, and on houses that skipped the fall visit, clogged gutters show up as sagging runs by winter. Some homes need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or multi-story buildings on a block near a busy road or a construction site. Those are the jobs where window cleaners see the glass dirty again within weeks.
Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain, since that runoff can lead to water damage at the fascia and sill, and windows need it when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Many owners book for curb appeal, because that haze is the first thing a visitor sees. If you are not sure which applies to your house, text us a photo of the roofline and we will say.
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 do window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Merriam, and a residential window gets the same care whether we are quoting one house or a block of homes. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text, and give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times depend on the season, and we will tell you the first open date when we quote. In the two busy windows of the year, the spring months and the fall leaf months, our calendar fills, so book early if you can.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we tell you when the crew is on the way. The goal is clean windows, every window done the same way with purified water, and the sill and frame wiped as clean as the glass. If a window is hard to reach, we say so on the call instead of on the ladder.
Once you schedule service with us, you get a confirmed date, a window count, and a per-run gutter plan. Condos are quoted the same way as houses, by stories and window count. We also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners in neighboring areas, so if you have a second property, we can book it on the same route.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, which is why the bundle costs less than two separate trips. Gutters go first, glass last.
We do not give a figure in writing without seeing the house. Our washing services are quoted from stories and window count, and you get the number by phone or text.
On a Merriam house, the outside carries film from trees, rain dust and sprinkler spots, none of which the inside stops. A professional crew can remove dirt and grime from the outer glass and frame, which the inside wash never reaches. Outside grime also hurts curb appeal, since the glass can look clean from inside and still be hazy in the low sun.
Our Merriam customers book in the spring months and again in the fall leaf months. Across Kansas, spring and fall are the common windows for window cleaning services.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When clogged gutters are cleared first, the grit and runoff have already dropped before we touch the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing, so the windows inside stay as they are.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
