Yes, the same two people handle professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Somerset jobs, most customers book regular cleanings in the spring and fall, once the tree dust has settled and again before the leaves drop.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our quotes cover residential and commercial buildings alike. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
On our Somerset jobs, the quote moves with a handful of things the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles, seeds and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are part of the price too.
For one of our Somerset customers, the quote came up because of the window count and the sprinkler line that hit the lower glass. The crew counted the windows from the front and the side, photographed the spotting, and gave the price on the phone before anyone set a ladder. The customer had asked for the exterior glass and the gutters on the same visit, and the crew cleaned the gutters first. You can get the same kind of number for regular cleanings by sending us a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and a rough count of the windows.
| 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 Somerset customers book both gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for those cleanings.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall, it is the leaf load that comes down, and the wet mat that sits in clogged gutters through the winter. Water that sits there through a freeze is a common route to water damage, and freeze risk is real in Somerset. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates by a few weeks, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we book.
Some houses need a third visit as we see it. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Runoff from a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Houses and multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site collect a film that the outside of the windows picks up quickly. In each case we would rather plan a third visit than wait for the complaint.
A window needs cleaning when you see a haze on it that only shows up when the sun is low, and that haze takes the curb appeal off the front of the house. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the 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 clean gutters and exterior windows across Somerset, and we handle the window and gutter cleaning for residential properties, condos and businesses that want clean windows at street level and above. The same crew handles each residential window, whether it sits at street level or on the second floor. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate from those details. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come.
The busy weeks are the two windows of the year when tree dust and leaves are heaviest, and our calendar fills during them. Booking early in those months gives you more choice of day. Outside those windows the schedule is looser.
When you schedule service with us, the crew asks about access, the side gate and any sprinkler line that runs along the glass, so the first visit goes without a return trip. We clean every window on the outside that the crew can reach safely, and any sill that needs wiping gets wiped as part of the visit. That is how we remove dirt and grime from the frame, not just the pane.
Yes. Our crew does both as part of one set of washing services, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters runs down onto windows we have already done.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. We give it over the phone or by text, and it is the number on the invoice.
On our Somerset jobs the outside carries most of what dirties the glass: tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spotting. The windows inside can be perfect, and the outside will still look hazy in the low sun.
Across Kentucky, spring visits usually run late May to June. In Somerset, the fall visit runs late October to November, when leaves are heaviest on the houses we clean.
Not if the gutters are cleaned first. The leaves, grit and black water under them come down the wall and across any window below, so the crew clears the roof, the gutters and downspouts, then waits a few minutes before touching the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and they are not billed as an extra line item.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and the interior and exterior of a window are different jobs. We also do not do pressure washing here.
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 while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if anything about the house is unusual.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
