The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Kentucky, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and that is the rhythm we plan our crew around.
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.
Professional window cleaning and gutter work are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing plus gutters in one visit costs less than booking them apart. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that takes more rigging, a window count that includes oversized panes and picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Windows inside the house are not part of this price. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Kentucky the houses and multi-story buildings that surprise us most are the ones where the gutters were skipped for a long stretch, because the cost of clogged gutters shows up as water damage on fascia and siding, and that work is outside this visit. We would rather you know that before the crew arrives than after. Tell us the stories, the rough window count, and whether the trees hang over the roof, and the estimate we send will reflect exactly that.
| 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 customers in Richmond schedule service twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why our cleaning services bundle gutters and residential window cleaning into one crew visit for a home with both jobs due at the same time. Across Kentucky the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in late October to November. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows, and the fall visit catches the wet leaf mat and whatever the storm season dropped. Across Kentucky, spring severe storms, hail and tornadoes can move these dates, so we book from what the house actually looks like rather than a fixed calendar.
Homes with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need regular cleanings beyond the twice-yearly schedule, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits every window on one side of the house causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag those on the first visit. Houses close to a busy road or a construction site collect a film that runs onto the sill faster than you would expect, so they tend to stay on the calendar more often than a quiet street.
Plenty of homes on our route need only the twice-yearly schedule, and we will tell you on the first visit which of these cases your lot falls into. Haze on clean windows shows up first when the sun gets low, and you will see water sheeting over the gutter edge in a hard rain. Either sign means it is time to book the next 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 washing services run across Richmond, covering residential properties and the homes around it, and we book window cleaning services on a first come basis as the calendar opens. Booking is simple: text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories, and we send a written estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and during the busy windows of spring and fall the calendar fills, so the sooner you call the sooner you get a slot. We call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the glass, and it does not come inside. If something needs a separate job, such as a clogged drain line or a sagging run, we photograph it and put it in the report rather than selling it to you on the ladder.
We also clean the gutters of condos and small multi-unit buildings, since the same runoff and grime problems show up there, and we handle the remove dirt step with the same care whether the job is a single house or a row of units.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last in one visit, which is why we book both together. We serve residential and commercial properties with the same crew.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
Usually the outside is where the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect, so a window can look fine from inside and still show the worst of it. The outside is also where curb appeal is decided, and our crew cleans the outside glass on every visit.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after the pollen season and before the first hard freeze. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what the calendar looks like.
Not on our window washing jobs. We clear the roof, the gutters and the downspouts before we touch the glass, so the runoff has finished before the windows are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, using purified water rather than cleaning solutions. Tracks are included in the visit, and we will flag anything that needs a separate treatment.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior of your windows are not one job here, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. Text a photo of the roofline if you want us to check it before we book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
