The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing washed down the wall ends up on clean glass. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Kentucky, the spring and fall visits matter most for gutters and glass, when leaf load, grit and grime build up together, and clean windows and clear gutters do the most for curb appeal.
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.
Gutter and window cleaning is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because one crew sets up once and works the same house in a single pass. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We use purified water, not cleaning solutions, so the glass dries clean.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the equipment and the time. Window count and oversized panes change the glass work. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and an overflowing run can lead to water damage near the foundation. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that regular cleaning does not remove, and we say so before we quote it.
For a clear number, the fastest route is a photo of the front of the house sent by text, plus the number of stories and a rough window count. We can usually give the quote from that alone, and the quote does not change on the day unless we find something we did not see in the photo. If you also want the inside glass quoted, say so when you call, since this visit covers the exterior of your windows only. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately.
Picture windows and large panes take more time to rinse and dry, and we account for them in the count. If your house has several of them, tell us when you call so the crew brings the right setup. Regular cleanings keep the job quicker over time, because the gutters stay clear and the glass does not build up as much grime between visits.
Residential and commercial jobs are both quoted from the same details: stories, window count, and what the gutters hold, whether it is a residential window job or a professional window cleaning visit. We do not add surprise line items, and we do not hold back a fee for the end of the visit. You hear the number before work starts, and the invoice matches it. To get that number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and ask for a written estimate before you book a date.

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.
Across Kentucky, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits in Madisonville run November to early December. Gutters and glass both need the spring and fall visits, so one crew and one visit makes sense for both jobs.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky grime packed into the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load and wet leaf mats that sit in the runs through the cold months. Storm season across Kentucky brings spring severe storms, hail and tornadoes, so we book around the weather rather than against it.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters send runoff down the wall instead of into the downspout. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets dust on the glass faster than most. On those houses we plan the schedule with the customer after the first visit, rather than guessing up front.
You will know windows need cleaning when haze shows up that you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 book window and gutter cleaning around Madisonville by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front and the number of stories, and we will tell you when we can come. Lead time is set by the calendar, and we give the actual date when we confirm the estimate rather than a promise we cannot keep.
The calendar fills in the two busiest windows of the year, when the spring tree drop and the fall leaf load arrive together with storm season. If you want a spot in those weeks, ask early. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. Residential properties and multi-story buildings are on the schedule, and each house or building gets the same visit order.
When you book, tell us about the outside of every window you want cleaned and about any sill or screen you would like handled. Once we know the house, scheduling a visit is straightforward. Ask for a written estimate, or book a date, and we will confirm it in writing.
Yes. The same two people do both jobs in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We clear the gutters and downspouts before the windows so the dirty water from the runs does not land on clean glass.
Our cleaning services for gutters and windows are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not quote a range without seeing the house, but the number we give you is the number we charge.
The outside carries most of the grime on a typical house: pollen film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Our window cleaning services for the outside also make the inside look better, because the view is no longer hazed.
Spring and fall are the seasons to book, after the spring drop and again after the leaves fall, when the gutters and glass need the most attention. Booking both jobs at once is the way to get clean windows and clear gutters on the same visit.
No. We clear the gutters to remove dirt and debris and flush every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass. That order keeps the water off the windows we have just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included as well on exterior windows.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit, so windows inside stay as they are. Condos and houses are handled the same way, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn 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.
