The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you whether the spring or fall visit fits your house.
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.
Window washing is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Professional window cleaning and gutter work in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We do not quote windows inside the house, since this visit covers the outside glass only.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story, multi-story buildings with more ladder work, a roof too steep to walk, a high count of window panes or oversized glass, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes the time on the ladder, which is why we ask about them before we give a number.
On our Springfield jobs, the quotes that rise most are the ones where the gutters were never opened. Water damage from a clogged run often shows up on the fascia before anyone notices the gutter itself. To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street. Most of our Springfield customers get an answer the same day they ask. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect, so we go over every line before we book.

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 Springfield customers book gutter and window cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring cleaning follows the seed drop, and fall cleaning follows the last leaves.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing we see on a residential window, and the gutters hold a paste of seeds and needles. In fall, we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that washes down the wall beneath them. Storm and wind seasons can shift these dates, so we book around what the house looks like, not only the calendar.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up a fine layer of dust that builds fast. Those houses are on three or four visits a year.
Clean windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, or spots that return after rain. Walk the house once when the sun is low and look at every window, since the haze shows up there first. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in a rain means a run is full. If you see either, schedule service with us and we will come look.
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 provide washing services and window cleaning services across Springfield, and we book through a short estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you what the visit will involve and when we can come. Lead time depends on the season, so schedule service early, and we confirm the date before the crew is on the way.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when the leaves and grit are heaviest. Booking early in those windows is the easiest way to get the date you want. Outside them, we can often fit a visit in sooner.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the ladder and the ground without entering the house. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the work runs in one pass. We deal with the dirt and the grime on the outside of the glass, so clean windows stay clean longer between visits. We also clear the runoff and the debris from the gutters and downspouts, and we remove dirt from the sills as we go. We also handle the occasional condos in the area, which have their own gutter runs and glass layout.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean panes. Homeowners ask whether the order changes for residential and commercial buildings, and it does not: gutters first, glass last.
We give the number on the phone or by text after we know the stories, the size of the house and the window count. We do not quote a figure here because it changes with those details.
On our Springfield jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Clean glass on the outside is what you see from the street, and it is the first thing that goes cloudy between cleanings.
Most of our Springfield customers book in spring and fall, after the seed drop and after the leaves are down. Those are the two windows when the gutters and glass need it most, and many houses keep up with regular cleanings on that schedule.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Dirty water from a run washes down the wall, so cleaning the glass after the gutters keeps it from being spotted again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. The glass is done with purified water, so most cleaning solutions are not needed on the pane. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and we tell you before we start if anything needs more time.
We handle the interior and exterior question simply: we clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Picture windows are done from the outside in the same pass as every other pane. We do not wash the inside of the windows or do pressure washing on this visit.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
