The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back down the wall onto clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Most of our South Sioux City customers book in the spring and fall, which is why we built the crew and the calendar around those two visits.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs change how long the crew spends on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the glass time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hours, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove, so we say so before the visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed as part of the quote, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our approach is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the job involves before anyone climbs. A residential window job on a two-story house is quoted from that number, and a window washing estimate from a photo is close, but the estimate from a photo for our washing services is close, and the crew confirms the count on arrival, and you will hear it before work starts if anything differs. Our crew has handled gutter and window jobs of every size, from a single-storey ranch with a dozen panes to tall houses with picture windows that need the pole from the ground. Those large glass panels take more time than standard windows, and they are the first thing we measure. Our window cleaning services include the same work whether the house is small or large: purified water, the frame wiped, the sill wiped, and the outside of every pane that can be reached. Professional window cleaning means the water comes from a pole, not a bucket, and grime on the sill gets wiped rather than rinsed. This quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior work is never bundled into one price without a separate quote. Our cleanings are priced the same way each time so that you can book regular cleanings without guessing what the next one will cost.
| 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 South Sioux City customers book both jobs 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 Nebraska, spring visits land in late May to June. Our fall visit runs October to early November, and the crew arrives with the same ladder setup for both. What we find in spring is the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits on the glass and in the gutter runs. Storm and wind seasons can move either date, and the crew will call before a visit if the forecast shifts the schedule. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings near heavy tree cover pick up needles faster than single-level houses, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than others, so the crew can remove dirt from the frames on the same visit. Our crew checks the window and gutter runs on the first visit and tells you which schedule your house needs. For windows, the sign you need a cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze is the film building up between visits. For gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which usually means the runs are clogged rather than undersized. Clogged gutters that go unchecked can lead to water damage at the fascia and foundation, which costs far more than a cleaning. We do not offer a do-it-yourself guide for this work, because the ladder and the water pressure are where the risk is, and our crew handles both the gutters and the glass in one setup. Commercial properties in the area follow a similar schedule, and we handle residential and commercial jobs with the same crew approach.
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 works on residential properties across South Sioux City, and we clean houses and buildings on every side of town. Booking runs through a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we schedule service from there. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows, the spring months and the fall leaf months, fill the calendar fastest, so ask early if you want a particular week. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners work from the ground and with a pole, and the gutter work is done from the ladder, so the crew does not come inside and does not need access to the house. We call before we come, so you will know the arrival window the day before and again when the truck is on the way. For multi-story buildings and busy properties with many units, we handle the window cleaning services in one scheduled visit, and the crew works through every window and gutter run on the list. Our approach keeps the work tidy: the ground is covered, the glass is dry before we leave, and the frame and sill are wiped clean. We use purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind on the glass to streak, and clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal from the street. If you need the schedule adjusted, call the number on the estimate and we will work with you on it.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, for houses and for condos, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass below.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front, and we will quote the job before anyone is booked.
Yes, because a residential window collects the film, rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside, and those build up between visits. Cleaning inside does not touch them, so the outside is where the haze comes from.
Across Nebraska, spring visits land in late May to June, and the fall visit runs October to early November. Those are the windows when the film and the leaves do the most damage, and they fill the calendar first.
No, as long as the gutters and downspouts come first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and grime on the frame comes off with the window job. We use purified water instead of cleaning solutions, and all of it is included in the price, not billed as an extra.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move the cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
