Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Grand Island jobs, most customers book both for spring and fall, so the crew arrives knowing what the house needs.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window washing separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, whether it is window cleaning services or washing services, and we do not add line items after the crew is on the ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes how many people and what equipment it takes. Heavy grime on the glass takes longer to remove dirt from, and so do oversized picture windows and a high number of panes. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and runoff from a clogged run can stain the siding under it. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate condition, and no cleaning removes it. Gutters and downspouts are cleared as part of the job, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one of our Grand Island jobs, the quote was driven by a two-story house with a long back run, a large number of windows and a heavy leaf load in the gutters, and the crew measured all three before giving the number. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and window count. For a quote on your house or one of the condos, text or call (866) 435-6328 with a photo of the front and the stories and about how many windows you have. We will give you the number before we book the date.

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 Grand Island customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing regular cleanings in one visit makes sense. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the downspout elbows. Where the film has dried on, the crew uses cleaning solutions on top of the purified water rinse. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and sits wet in the runs before the first hard freeze. The visit months are set from our Grand Island calendar, and the dates move with storms and wind seasons.
Some residential and commercial buildings need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film that shows up on the glass within weeks. After the first visit we tell you which of those your lot actually needs, and we do not guess.
Windows need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low, and the interior and exterior of a house see different dirt, so we clean only the exterior glass. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Those two signs are more reliable than the calendar, and we will point them out on the first visit.
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 do professional window cleaning on the residential properties across Grand Island, from single-story ranches to two-story homes, and we take on a few multi-story buildings when the access allows. To schedule service, call or text (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a number, and if you say yes we set a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The busy windows are spring and fall, when our calendar fills with the same schedule-service requests from many houses at once. Booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect, and clogged gutters are how water damage starts on siding and trim, so the crew clears them first. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit. Our cleaning services cover the gutters, the outside glass and the sill wiping in one visit, and they reach every window on the outside of the house, so there is one set of people on the property and one invoice at the end.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto every window we have just cleaned.
We do not quote a figure here because the number comes from your stories and window count. Tell us the number of residential windows you have, text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the exact price by phone or text.
For many houses it is. The outside carries the pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. Clean outside glass also means you see the view clearly from inside.
Spring visits run late May to June across Nebraska, and fall visits run late October to November. Booking early in those months fills our calendar fastest, so schedule service early if you want a particular week.
Not when we do it in the right order. Gutters first, glass last, so the wall and the runs are clear before anyone touches a pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the standard visit, and we tell you before the crew starts if a track needs extra time.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not 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, 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.
