Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, 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 Kentucky, most of our customers book spring and fall, and that schedule holds for Louisville homes too.
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 price for window and gutter cleaning follows the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and roughly how many windows when you call at (866) 435-6328. Sending a photo of the front of the house by text helps us give you that number without guessing.
On our jobs, a few things push the quote up. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A large window count, oversized panes and picture windows take longer to do properly. Glass caked with grime from a long gap between cleanings takes longer than a light haze. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any water can run through them. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate step that no ordinary cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras. The quote covers the exterior only, and we never price interior and exterior glass as one job.
Louisville houses vary a lot, so the quote follows the house rather than a formula. Most of our window washing services go to two-story homes with a moderate window count, and the repeat customers are the ones who keep the same schedule each season. We handle regular cleanings the same way, booking the next visit before the crew leaves so the calendar stays steady. Our crew measures the job with you by phone or photo, and the written estimate matches the invoice. Text a photo of the house front and we will confirm the number 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, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season. The spring visit comes after the seed drop and the spring bloom, and the fall visit comes after the leaves are down, before the first hard freeze.
In the spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packed into the gutters. Dust on the glass smears under rain and leaves a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The fall visit is the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes into the downspout elbows over the autumn. On houses that skip the fall visit, we see runs that sag under the weight of ice by the time winter is over.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule. Needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those homes need a third visit in the year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and ordinary cleaning solutions will not lift them, so those houses also need a closer schedule. A house on a busy road or near construction picks up more dust on the glass, and we plan for that too.
Clogged gutters are the first sign that a house needs a visit sooner than planned. Runoff sheeting over the edge in a rain tells you the run is full. Left alone, that runoff can soak the fascia and the soffit, and water damage at the eave is the most expensive thing that happens when a run goes unchecked. Windows need a visit when the haze shows at low sun, and gutters need one when water runs over the edge.
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 offers cleaning services across the Louisville area and handles residential and commercial jobs on the schedule that fits each house. The estimate comes by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate before a date is set. Booking runs on a fixed lead time, and the calendar fills fastest during the spring and fall windows when the tree dust and leaves are at their worst, so an early call gets you the slot you want.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so the job is done from the outside alone. For multi-story buildings, condos and larger homes, we schedule the visit with a boom or scissor lift on site and confirm the access before the day.
If you have a standing schedule, we keep it on the calendar with the same crew each time, which makes the job faster and keeps curb appeal steady through the year. Our window cleaning services cover every residential window on the house and take care to do well, and we tell you what we find on each visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will schedule service around your timing.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and downspouts, then the outside of the windows, in one visit. Gutters go first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by the run.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number before you book.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between seasons. The inside can stay clean while the outside still hazes at low sun, which is the reason we clean the outside alone.
Our customers here book in the spring and the fall, and that is when our calendar is busiest. Booking early in those windows gets you the date you want.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so we remove dirt from the run before a pane is touched. When a run is cleared, the grit and water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and downspouts are flushed as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit, and we do not clean windows inside the house. Pressure washing is not part of this service.
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, and our crew handles the rest.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
