The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Most of our Madison customers book it in the spring and the fall, when the spring growth and the leaf load 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we count every window on the outside. Booking gutter cleaning and window washing services together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes the setup. Window count and oversized panes, such as picture windows, change the time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it before we quote the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a house with tall trees along the back side, the quote usually turns on the tree debris in the back run and the size of the glass on the back wall. That is the kind of detail we use to quote. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. A set of window washing and gutters and downspouts work in one visit is often the simplest way to handle the whole exterior, and the crew will show you what runoff and remove dirt look like on your own roof before we start.
Residential and commercial jobs both get a written quote, and condos and other residential properties with several units follow the same logic, with the count of units and stories setting the quote. Tell us what you have, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone is booked.
| 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 Madison 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 for the calendar. Across Mississippi the pattern is the same: the spring visit and the fall leaf drop are what set the dates.
What we find on the glass in the spring is a pollen film on the south-facing windows and a pollen paste packed into the gutters and at the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall the leaf load comes down, and the wet mat sits in the gutters until it is cleared. Storm and wind seasons on the Gulf coast can move the dates, and we adjust the booking when that happens.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust than the rest. For those houses we suggest a third visit, and we say so after the first one.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning sooner is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which schedule fits your lot.
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 cleans gutters and windows across Madison, and the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring rush and the fall leaf drop. Book early for those dates. To schedule service, start with a phone or text estimate: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the slot.
We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew works outside and does not come in. Professional window cleaning on a residential window job in Madison is done from the ground or a boom or scissor lift, and the crew is careful around the roofline.
Our work covers the parts of the exterior that show first, and the curb appeal of a house often starts with clean windows and clear gutters. If clogged gutters back up, the water runs over the edge and can cause water damage at the fascia and the foundation, so we check the runs on every visit. Multi-story buildings are quoted by the number of floors and the count of panes, and the crew brings the cleaning solutions and the equipment to match.
Our crew handles the whole exterior with the same care on each visit, and the window cleaning services we provide are scheduled around your calendar. For window cleaners who will show up when they say they will, call (866) 435-6328.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they work gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the dirty water off the clean glass.
We quote from the number of stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. We do not give a figure in this answer, because the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes, if the outside is carrying tree dust, rain dust or sprinkler spots, which is common on Madison houses in the spring and fall. The outside is where most of the grime sits, so the glass looks different once it is done.
Most of our Madison customers book in the spring, after the spring rush finishes, and in the fall, after the leaves come down. Across Mississippi the spring and fall visits are the usual pattern.
No, that is why we work gutters first and glass last. Gutter debris and the black water under it come down the wall, so the glass is cleaned after the gutters are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are cleaned on request, and the crew tells you before the visit if a track needs more time.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so the windows inside the house are not on this visit's list, and we do not do pressure washing either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
