Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Bloomington jobs most customers book it for the spring and fall visits, and those are the two windows we plan around. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will quote it from your story count.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the price moves with a few things we find on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew sets up the boom or scissor lift. A large window count and oversized picture windows add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the quote before the crew starts. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning, and we say so up front. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are part of the price too.
On a Bloomington job, what we see most often is a house with a lot of window area and a gutter run that was missed in the last cycle. The fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with your story count and a rough window count. We will come back with a written estimate before anyone books a date. The regular cleanings are priced on the same basis every time, so the number you get now holds for the next visit.

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 Bloomington jobs most customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar.
Every spring we find a film on the south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutters, both from the late spring pollen drop. In fall the leaf load is what we clear first, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that sagged under the weight of wet leaves by the time the snow came. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, and we would rather call you than come out early.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back through the summer. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the average lot. Condos and other multi-story buildings with a lot of glass sometimes need a mid-summer pass for the same reason.
Left too long, gutters and downspouts that overflow keep water running down the fascia and into the wall, and that is how water damage starts. Haze on the windows is usually something you only notice when the sun is low, and that is the sign the glass is due. Clean glass and clear gutters also matter for curb appeal, since they are what the street sees first. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain is the sign the gutters need the crew, not a second bag of leaves from you.
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 schedule window and gutter cleaning around the same calendar every year, and the busiest stretches are the two windows when the leaves are heaviest. Booking early in those windows keeps your slot. Lead time is listed on your estimate, and we call before we come, so nothing shows up unannounced.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with your story count and a photo of the front of the house. We will reply with a written estimate and a date window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. Our residential window and gutter work covers the houses we clean across the city, and we also do residential properties where the owner wants the outside done in the same visit.
The crew sets up to clean windows on every side of the house, from the ground or from the boom or scissor lift where the height calls for it, and every window on the outside gets done. Each sill gets wiped down on the way out. If a pane is out of reach, the crew photographs it and says so before leaving.
Yes, the same two people do both on our jobs. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run down onto clean panes.
The number comes from your stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The same method is used for residential and commercial buildings, but this page is written for houses.
On our Bloomington jobs the outside picks up rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots between visits. Those collect on the outside first, so the outside is the layer we are there to remove dirt from.
Our customers here book in late spring and late fall, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves come down. Those are the two times we see the most buildup.
No, we clean gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is gone before the windows are touched. Doing it the other way round means washing the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the washing services on this visit include tracks when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the glass inside the house, so an interior and exterior job is a separate booking, and we do not do pressure washing on this one.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and 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.
