Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty from the roofline 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 the two jobs separately. Across Nebraska, most of the homes we work on are booked for spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. Text a photo of the front of your house to get the number before we come out.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and we set it from the stories and the approximate window count. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the quote in writing before a date is booked.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes the time on the job, so we look at them before we give a number.
Our cleanings are done with a water-fed pole and purified water, so the glass dries without streaks, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed until the water runs clear. We skip cleaning solutions on the glass, because purified water does the job. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, so the number on the phone covers only the outside. Regular cleanings on a set schedule keep the cost predictable from one visit to the next, and the residential and commercial jobs we do follow the same order.
For a Kearney example, one house we did had its gutters opened after two seasons of packed debris, and its window count was high because of several large picture windows on the south side. The quote was built from those two facts, and nothing else was added. Your number will come from your own stories and window count, not from another house.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Kearney customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is the pollen film on south-facing glass and the seed packed into the gutters, and fall is the leaf load that clogs the downspout elbows. That rhythm drives most of our cleaning services here.
When we are on the roof in spring we find a film stuck to the glass and seed paste in the gutters. In fall, clogged gutters are usually the wet leaf mat that sits on the gutter floor and blocks the outlets. Wind season and storm season can move both dates, so we book around the weather rather than the calendar.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, usually need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and tree cover keeps the gutters loading between visits. A house close to a busy road or a construction site also gathers more grime on the glass. Our window cleaners adjust the schedule to the house, and professional window cleaning is only worth doing on the right interval.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain, and that overflow is how water damage starts on the fascia and siding.
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 clean residential properties, condos, multi-story buildings and commercial buildings around Kearney, and the crew works the whole city rather than one district. We offer window and gutter cleaning as one booking, and every residential window gets the same order of work. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will tell you the approximate window count and the date we can come. Most of our slots fill during the two busy windows of the year, so asking early keeps your preferred week open. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Once a date is set, the crew arrives in a two-hour window and works from the roofline down. Every residential window that is reachable from the ground or the pole gets done, and a sill is wiped on every window we clean. Our goal is clean windows and clear gutters on every visit, which also helps curb appeal. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Yes, the same two people do both washing services in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the roofline does not land on clean panes.
Pricing for window cleaning services here is set from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside carries the grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Those sit on the exterior glass and are not touched by cleaning the inside.
Across Nebraska, spring visits run late May to June and fall visits run October to early November. Those are the windows when the film and the leaf load are heaviest, and we will tell you which one your house needs after the first look.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then let the wall dry before we touch the glass. That order keeps the runoff off the panes, and it is the whole reason we do them in one visit. Clearing the roofline first also helps remove dirt before it reaches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, so they are not billed separately. Tracks are included on the windows we clean from the outside.
No, we do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want the inside done, that is a separate booking with a different crew.
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 the 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.
