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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Frankfort jobs most customers book it in spring and fall, so the crew you meet on the phone is the crew on the ladder.
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 price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, whether the job is professional window cleaning, gutters, or both. Your rate for your house comes from those inputs, and nothing is added later for flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens or wiping sills, which are part of the job.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Window count and picture windows change the glass work, since oversized panes take longer. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, and no cleaning removes it.
On our Frankfort jobs, one customer with a two-story house and a lot of glass on the south side called for a quote after a long spring. The crew priced the bundle after a walk around the house, and what drove the number was the window count and the gutter runs that had not been opened since the house changed hands. The full case is linked below. To get your own number, send a text with the stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will come back with the price before anyone books a date.
The pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the two things that build up fastest here, so most of the work on a spring visit is the same two jobs. Our crew handles residential and commercial buildings, and the way we figure the quote is the same for both. For a residential house the inputs are stories and window count. For a commercial building we also look at how many separate roof sections drain into the gutters.
Some owners ask whether cleaning solutions are used on the glass. We use purified water fed through a pole, so the glass dries without spotting, and we only add a cleaning solution where the grime calls for it. That choice is part of how the crew works and does not change the price. Interior and exterior washing services never share one quote, since the bundle is exterior only. Regular cleanings keep the job predictable: a house cleaned on a steady schedule needs less time per visit than one that has gone a year without.
| 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 Frankfort customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The spring visit comes after the seed drop finishes; the fall visit comes after the last leaves fall and before the first hard freeze. Across Kentucky the dates shift a little with spring storms, hail and tornadoes, so we confirm the window when you book rather than guessing.
What we find at each visit is consistent enough to plan around. In spring a film of dust and seed sits on the south-facing glass, and the windows inside stay as they are because interior glass is not part of the visit. In fall the wet leaf mat blocks the runs, and the runoff from it spills down the wall. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, and a storm in between often means a quick look at the gutters after the wind has finished.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit between cleanings, and clogged gutters that back up can lead to water damage on the fascia and siding. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than one on a quiet street. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass often fall into the same pattern.
There is one customer we can point to here. A house on a quiet street with no trees over the roof books twice a year, spring and fall, and the gutters stay clear between visits. A second house on a wooded lot with a sprinkler line running into the front windows books three or four times a year. The case details, with what we found on each house, are linked from the coverage section.
You will know the glass needs cleaning when you see haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout. Our window cleaners are on the same schedule as the gutter crew, so one call covers both. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, and both come out of the same 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 crew has cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Frankfort, and we handle the same window and gutter cleaning on every residential window and at each residential property we visit. Booking starts with a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you the estimate before a slot goes on the calendar. The lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills quickly in those weeks, so the sooner you call the sooner we can schedule service. Booking a slot outside those windows is easier, and a house cleaned in a quieter month still gets the full job: the gutters are flushed and flow-tested, and every window on the outside is done.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we do not come inside. We work on the outside of the house, so the only things we ask are the basics: the side gate unlocked and the cars off the driveway if windows face it. We clean each sill on the outside as part of the job, so the frames and sills come out even with the glass.
We work on residential properties throughout the city, condos included. Each job is set up to remove dirt and grime from every window on the outside, and on the clean windows we leave behind, the difference shows the day after the rain.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters first and the glass last, so the same two people do both in one visit, and nothing gets washed twice.
Yes, but the bundle is cheaper than two trips. Our washing services start with the gutters and downspouts and finish with the exterior glass, so one visit covers both.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We will not guess a figure here, because the quote is the number you pay.
Yes, for the outside. The rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass whether or not anyone touches the inside, and our crew uses purified water to remove dirt and grime without leaving spots.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, and the dates are confirmed when you call.
No. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the glass you have just finished, because the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall before the windows are touched.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window job, rinsed and wiped as we work, and they are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
Condos are quoted the same way as a house, by number of stories and window count, after a walk around the building.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
