Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Fairland jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest.
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 gutter cleaning and professional window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and gutter cleaning share one quote, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, a few things change the quote. On multi-story buildings, the ladder and the boom or scissor lift take more time, so a third story or a steep roof adds to the quote. Window count and oversized panes add time at the glass. Heavily clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, since no cleaning removes it.
When we get a quote request, we ask for the number of stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Those three things get you an exact number before the crew is scheduled. The same goes for a clogged gutter run or a house with water damage at the fascia, which we note at the start so there are no surprises on the day. Our window cleaners work from the outside only on this visit, windows inside are not part of the quote, and we do not charge for a second pass if a pane is missed. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and that is what most neighbors see first. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send the number before a date is booked.

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.
On our Fairland jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky paste in the gutters are the first things we find. In fall, it is the leaf load and the wet mat that forms in the runs. Storms and strong wind seasons can push those dates, so we check the roofline before we book.
Some houses need a third visit, and we see the same cases each year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters full between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. On residential properties near a busy road or a construction site, grime builds up on the glass faster than on a house further back. On those houses, cleaning services three or four times a year keep the gutters running and the windows clear.
A residential window tells you when it needs a visit: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or film on the sills. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, schedule service by phone or text. Every window and sill gets the same attention on each visit, so the second visit costs no more per window than the first.
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 have worked across the neighborhoods of Fairland, and we book by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a visit window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a slot in those months, book early. Our crews handle gutters and downspouts together with the glass, so our washing services cover the work that would otherwise need two appointments.
Runoff from a gutter that is not cleaned lands on the siding and the walkway below, and that is where most of our callbacks start. We clear the grime from the glass and the frames and remove dirt from the sills before we leave, and we send photos of each run. Our window cleaning services follow one routine, and condos get the same visit as a single-family house.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
We do not give a figure on the page. The number for cleanings on a two-story house comes from the stories, the size of the house and the window count, and we give it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 before any work is booked.
On our Fairland jobs, the outside carries the most of the dirt: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film on the glass, so the outside is where most of the visible haze comes from. Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass together, but this visit covers the exterior only.
On our Fairland jobs, most customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Regular cleanings in those seasons keep the gutters and glass from building up, and those are the months our calendar fills, so an early booking gets you a slot.
No. We do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Frames get the same cleaning solutions as the glass. Tracks are included in the same visit, and nothing is billed as an extra line item.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing, so the crew works from the outside and leaves the interior alone. Picture windows get the same pole treatment as every other pane on the outside.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. The same exterior visit covers residential and commercial properties. We send photos of every run before we leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
