The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the glass only gets washed once.
We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
Most of our Elizabethtown customers book both in the spring and the fall, and that is the calendar we work to here.
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.

What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles 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 on every residential window and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Elizabethtown job the quote moved because of the tree cover over the back run and the window count on the upper floor. The crew ran the flush and sent photos before leaving. For a number you can rely on, tell us the stories, the window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through the rest.
Our window washing is for the exterior glass only, and our washing services cover the gutters and downspouts, the runoff path, and the remove dirt step that comes before any glass gets touched. Our window cleaning services are built for condos and multi-level homes alike, and the grime that builds up on the outside is what we remove first. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are rinsed off with purified water, so nothing is left behind to streak.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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 Elizabethtown customers book both twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the window and gutter work.
In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits on the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the window before we book.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, or a sprinkler line that hits the glass, need a third visit. The sprinkler spots come back a day later, and the tree debris packs the downspouts between visits. A house near a busy road or construction gets the same treatment because the grit settles faster. The goal on every visit is clean windows that stay clean until the next date.
Residential and commercial properties follow the same calendar here, with the cleanings scheduled to the building rather than the season. Residential properties with a sprinkler line on the glass get the same schedule as any other house. We run regular cleanings for customers who want the work on a set schedule and we handle the interior and exterior of picture windows in the same visit when asked.
You will see haze on the glass when the sun is low and you know it is time. You will see water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in the rain and you will know the gutter needs attention. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service for the next date.
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 have cleaned across the city, and our crew knows the streets and the house types the cleaning services have to fit. Our window cleaners work the outside of every window on the house, which is what keeps the curb appeal up from the street, and we keep the professional window cleaning method the same from house to house.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the house front. Our lead time is posted on the schedule, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
The busy windows are the spring and the fall, when the spring tree dust and the leaf load bring in the calls. When the calendar fills, the earlier you book the better. Clogged gutters and water damage around the foundation are the two problems we see most when a house goes too long without a visit.
For multi-story buildings and tall homes, the lift and the crew work together, and we keep the exterior windows clean on the upper floors as well. We do not clean the windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Ask for a written estimate and we will put it in your hand.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the glass only gets washed once.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Give us those by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 and we quote it the same day.
Yes. The outside carries the dust, the rain film and the sprinkler spots, and clean windows inside can still look hazy from the outside.
Most of our Elizabethtown customers book in late spring and again in late fall. Those are the two times the leaf load and the spring tree dust are heaviest.
No, gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters runs down the wall and across the clean panes below.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the visit. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clear the tracks on every exterior window.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, 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.
