Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Milton. We go gutters first, glass last, so the wash water never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works a lot of Milton homes, and most of our customers book a spring and a fall visit.
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 professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The starting point for window washing on a Milton house is a floor, not a quote.
On our jobs, the things that move the number are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Work on windows inside the house is a separate quote.
On a recent Milton job, the quote went up because the house had a third story and an oversized picture window over the porch roof, and multi-story buildings need a longer ladder setup. The gutters had clogged gutters packed to the elbow with seed pods. The crew cleared the run, flushed the downspouts, and reported water damage behind one fascia board in the photos sent before they left. Stories, window count and what the gutters hold are what we ask about first, and a clear photo of the front of the house sent by text lets us give you an exact number and shows us the curb appeal of the house as well.

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 Milton customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. What we find on the glass in spring is a pollen film on south-facing panes and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters and leaves grime across the lower sash.
Some houses need regular cleanings beyond the two visits. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting a residential window (those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning), or a house close to a busy road all leave more dirt behind. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates on either side, so we schedule service against the weather rather than the calendar.
After a few months, clean windows look hazy when the sun is low, and every window facing the same direction shows it first. You will see when gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during 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.
Our crew works across Milton, and we can give you a slot after we see the house. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and the two busy windows of the year, the spring visit and the fall leaves, are when our calendar fills first. Our window cleaning services book up in those same windows, so book early if you want one of those dates. We call before we come, so you are not standing at the door wondering when the truck will show up.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior washing services. The crew stays outside, clears the gutters and downspouts first, and sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before they leave. Runoff from the roof is what carries grime onto the glass, so that order is how we remove dirt rather than moving it around. Residential properties, condos and multi-story buildings are all work we take on, with the same visit order each time.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the wash water never reaches clean panes.
We do not quote a figure off a chart. The number comes from stories and window count, and you can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with a photo of the front of the house.
Usually the outside carries more of the dirt here: tree dust in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the exterior glass. Interior and exterior glass do not need the same schedule, and clean interior panes will still show that haze when the sun is low.
Most of our Milton customers book regular cleanings in late spring and again in late fall. Booking a slot before the spring or fall peak is the easiest way to get the date you want.
No, the order is what prevents it. Gutters go first, the downspouts are flushed, and the picture windows and the rest of the glass are done only after the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit on residential and commercial jobs alike. We do not bill them as extras.
Not on this visit. We do exterior glass only, using purified water and no harsh cleaning solutions, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
