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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Kansas, most of our customers book this in the spring and the fall, when the pollen and leaf loads are heaviest 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.
We give you one number on the phone, built from the stories and the approximate window count, and that is the number on the invoice. When you book window and gutter work together, the bundle comes in under two separate visits, and we tell you the exact saving when we quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it moves the quote up, as do window counts with oversized panes and gutters that have not been opened in years. Packed needles and leaves take longer than a light load, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. The glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing soapy is left behind to streak. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is a separate problem that no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit instead of pretending it will come off.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. We will walk you through the rest. The quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is always priced as separate jobs. The crew can also see the picture windows and the rest of the glass from the pole, so there is nothing to measure on your end. If you book regular cleanings, each visit starts from the same stories and window count. Residential and commercial glass is quoted separately, so ask by phone if the building is not a house. A written estimate is available on request if you want it before you book.

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 customers here book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one professional window cleaning crew doing both cleaning services in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our Topeka jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky tree residue packed in the gutter elbows, and the fall visit catches the leaf mat that rots into the downspouts over winter. Storm and wind seasons can move either date by a few weeks, and we call ahead when they do.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder work, and heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers are on every three or four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. A gutter that overflows for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia, and we flag it early. Those are the cases that earn a third visit, and we say so before the second one.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun gets low, and it hurts curb appeal faster than most people expect. We clean the outside, which is what the street sees; the windows inside stay yours to handle. Clogged gutters show up as water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either one between visits, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at it.
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 clean residential properties across Topeka, and we are happy to look at the glass on any house you want done. Booking starts with an estimate for window and gutter cleaning by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number and a window. Most estimates come back the same day they arrive, and the crew calls before it comes out, so you know who is on the ladder and when.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills then. To schedule service for a fixed slot, ask when you book rather than waiting for the call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. If a particular window is hard to reach from the ground, the crew tells you before the visit whether it can be done from the pole, so you are not surprised on the day. Every residential window on the outside of the house gets the same finish, so the clean windows look even from the street, and the sill gets wiped with the frame.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, so it is one appointment and one invoice across our window cleaning services. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto the clean panes.
We do not give a figure in writing; the number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and our washing services are quoted by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you the number before you book.
Yes, for the outside alone. The outside collects dust, rain grime and runoff from the roof, plus sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and the inside does not pick those up. The glass looks better from the street once the outside is clean.
Most of our Topeka customers book in the spring and the fall, when the leaf loads and the spring haze are heaviest. Condos get the same two windows, so booking in one of them keeps the calendar from filling up on you.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. When gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the downspouts are flushed and the wall stops dripping.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped and tracks get cleaned as part of the window job. Rinsing the screens helps remove dirt that would otherwise wash onto the clean pane. None of that is billed as an extra on our invoice.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
