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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Kentucky, our crews find that most homes are ready for the work in spring and fall, which is when we see the buildup that matters. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows, and call (866) 435-6328 for the number.
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 number we quote is the number we charge, and we set it from the stories, the approximate window count and what the crew finds in the gutters. Give us those three things by phone or text and you have the figure before anyone is scheduled, and if the job is a residential and commercial mix, say so on the call. The window and gutter cleaning bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the exact saving shows on your estimate.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes and high picture windows that need the boom or scissor lift, gutters nobody has opened in years, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is also a factor, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and cleaning solutions and equipment are not billed as extras. Interior glass is outside this quote, so an interior and exterior job is priced as a separate visit.
On a recent job in a neighborhood where the houses sit under heavy tree cover, the crew found needles packed into the downspout elbows and a window count higher than the homeowner had guessed, and that combination is what set the quote. Those are the details we check on the phone before we set a date. To get your number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories. If you want regular cleanings, the same phone-and-photo estimate applies to every visit.

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 Erlanger customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar, and clean glass with clear gutters is the quickest curb appeal a house can get. Spring and fall are the two times when the buildup on the glass and in the gutters is heaviest, and our crews see it on every visit.
In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that settles in the runs and leaves the gutters clogged, and clogged gutters are the first thing to spill over in a storm. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, and when they do, we shift the visit rather than leave the gutters full through the next rain.
Some homes need a third visit, and multi-story buildings are one reason, because the upper glass takes longer to reach. Heavy tree cover over the roof is the other common reason, since needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or active construction picks up extra grime. Our crews are professional window cleaning specialists, and our cleaning services cover the gutters too, so they can tell you on the first visit which pattern your home follows.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, and left alone that can turn into water damage at the fascia. Windows inside the house are not part of this service, so a film on that glass is a separate question we answer on the phone. Many window cleaners only do the glass, which is why we book both in one visit. Both signs show up in the photos we send after every visit.
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 crews work across Erlanger, and we clean residential properties on the same schedule as the rest of the city. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. From there we set a date to schedule service, and the lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week. The two busiest windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and the calendar fills quickly then, so book early if you can.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we ask you to leave the side gate unlocked. Our goal is to make the service easy for you and to give every window and every gutter run the attention it needs, so you finish with clean windows and clear gutters, from the top of the roof down to the sill on each residential window. We do the work the same way for every home, so the estimate you get on the phone is the job you get on the day.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches the clean windows.
The number for washing services on a two-story house in Erlanger comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. We will not guess it here.
On our Erlanger jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where the grime builds up first, and the crew is there to remove dirt from that side only.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. If your home is one of several condos in a building, tell us on the call so we can work out the access.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the gutters has already stopped before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the tracks are part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
