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 the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Kansas, most of our customers book it in spring and again in 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: our window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter cleaning separately, and the number we quote by phone or text is the number on the invoice. Here is what moves that number on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and panes with heavy grime take longer per pane than standard glass. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with leaves and seed, need more hands and more water before they run clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes gets flagged on the visit so you know what you are paying for.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, so the washing services on the glass do not add a second charge. We quote the exterior only, so interior and exterior work never lands on one bill from us. Regular cleanings keep the crew moving faster on the next visit, because the grime has not had time to bake onto the glass.
Here is how a quote gets built for any house. Send us the stories, the window count and one photo of the front, and we return the number before anyone books a date. Our crew does not guess on the phone.
| 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 Kansas, the spring visit falls in late May to June, and our Ottawa fall visit lands in late October to November, which is why one crew doing the window and gutter cleaning in one visit makes sense on the calendar. In late spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and a pollen film in the gutters, and the downspout elbows are often packed with seed. Film on the glass usually needs cleaning solutions as well as water. In late fall the leaf load is the thing: a wet leaf mat that sags a run under the first ice if it goes uncleaned, and clogged gutters can push water into the fascia, which is how water damage starts. The same timing holds for residential and commercial buildings, since leaves and seed do not check the property type. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and we would rather come a week early than a week late. Windows inside the house are a separate job and stay on their own schedule.
Houses and multi-story buildings under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, usually need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Other homes that need a third visit are the ones with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, where the spots come back a day after cleaning, and houses near a busy road or construction, where the dust settles fast. Few or no trees and no sprinkler problem usually means once a year in late fall is enough, and after the first visit we tell you which of those your lot actually needs.
You will see when windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the pane looks dull in one spot. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit your house needs first.
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 crew has cleaned across Ottawa, and a slot usually comes up as the calendar allows, with the two busy windows in late spring and late fall filling first. To book, text or call with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate and a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you are not waiting on a truck. The professional window cleaning and the gutter work are scheduled as one job, which means one set of visits and one invoice on the same day. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, so the cleaning services are planned around the whole house.
Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for the upper stories and a ladder for the lower glass, and they clean every window on the outside, not just the ones facing the street. The sill gets wiped with each pane, so the frame does not streak after the glass dries. Booking is simple: give the stories, the window count and a photo, and our crew confirms the date. For the spring visit, call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar before the spring film builds up, and to schedule service for the fall visit, text a photo of the roofline when the leaves start to drop.
Yes. Our crew clears the gutters and downspouts and does the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters runs down clean glass. It is the same two people on the same job.
We do not quote a standard figure. For a residential window count on a two-story house, the number comes from the stories, the window count and the state of the gutters, and you get it by phone or text before any date is booked. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries the grime. Dust film, rain grit and sprinkler spotting sit on the exterior glass and in the frames, and they do not come off with an inside cleaning. Our crew cleans the outside only, so the glass that faces the weather is the glass we clean.
Spring visits across Kansas run late May to June, and our Ottawa fall visits fall in late October to November. Storms and wind move those dates a little, so we would rather come a week early than a week late.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black water come down the wall in runoff when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned to remove dirt as part of the exterior job. They are not billed as extras, and tracks are included in the same visit.
Exterior only on this visit, for residential properties. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
No, you do not need to be home, including at condos where the crew works from the outside only. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
