Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and a bundled visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our Woodmere customers mostly book it in spring and fall, and that is when our crew is busiest here.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and gutter work are quoted together, so there is no second number to wait for. If you have heard a number from window cleaners in the area, ask what it covers before you compare.
What moves the quote on the day is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach, and multi-story buildings are priced on the same story count. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Clogged gutters take longer to clear, and gutters left that way can send water down the fascia and cause water damage. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing and flushing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so they do not change the quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Woodmere jobs the quote comes from the same handful of things every time, so the number holds up when the crew arrives. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the front of the house shows it first. Professional window cleaning on a house this size is quoted from a photo of the front before the crew comes out. A recent visit to a two-story house with a long front run of gutters and a bay of picture windows was quoted from stories and window count alone, and the crew found nothing that changed it. If you text us a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count, we can give you the exact number before you book. That is the only way to get a firm figure, and it takes a few minutes.

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 Woodmere customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Residential window work follows the same calendar as the gutters, so the two cleaning services stay on one date.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. Clean windows show that film first, since the low sun picks it out. In fall the leaf load is what we clear, and the storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year. Regular cleanings in both seasons keep the pollen paste out of the gutters between visits.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road tends to need one more pass in the year. Residential properties with trees hanging over the roof are the ones that usually need that extra pass. On houses with no trees and no sprinkler spotting, once a year in late fall is enough.
You can tell when the windows need it by haze you only see when the sun is low. Walk around and check every window on the sunny side for that haze. You can tell when the gutters need it by water sheeting over the edge in rain. Keep an eye on both between cleanings, not just on the calendar.
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.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us that photo. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week, and the spring and fall windows fill first.
We also clean gutters and downspouts on the commercial side, scheduled per building, and our crew handles the exterior glass on the same visit for homes. We serve residential and commercial properties, and residential properties get the same gutters-first, glass-last order. Our washing services cover exterior glass and gutters on the same visit, and our window cleaning services for homes include the screens and sills. Grime from the street builds up on the lower panes first, and runoff from the roof is the reason gutters go before glass. The crew uses a water-fed pole to remove dirt from the upper panes. Sites with several buildings, condos and multi-story buildings are quoted as one job so the crew can move through them in order.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before you book.
On our Woodmere jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those are what make the glass look dim from the street. Cleaning the inside does not reach them. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this visit covers the outside.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, and that is when the calendar fills, so ask for a date early. Our cleanings here cluster in those same two windows.
Not when we do it right. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. Regular cleanings keep the gutters clear, so less debris is left to wash down.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the same visit and are not billed as an add-on.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing on it. We rinse with purified water, not cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the frame to streak.
No, 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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
