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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Niles jobs, most customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and that is the rhythm we plan the crew around.
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 doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Multi-story buildings are priced on the same stories-and-count basis, so a third floor is the first thing we ask about on the phone. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have gone years without being opened and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions go on the windows.
Most of the time the quote comes down to how the house is built and how it is kept. A house with heavy tree cover and a wet season will carry more debris into the gutters than a house with a clean roofline, and we see that in the first run we clear. Companies that sell by the linear foot tend to land in a similar place, but the stories and the window count are what we actually measure. For a number that holds up, send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the stories and a rough window count, and we will work from that.
On one recent Niles job, the quote moved up because the house had a steep side roof, a sprinkler line hitting the lower glass, and a back run that had not been opened in years. The work was done in one visit, and the photos of each gutter run and each window went to the customer before the crew left. You can see that job here: Niles case.
If you have questions about how the bundle is priced or what the crew will check, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send back a written estimate. We quote interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, and this price covers the exterior only. If the property is part residential and commercial, say so when you call so the quote covers the right part.
| 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 Niles customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring after the seed drop and once in the fall after the leaves are down. That is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for this city, and regular cleanings on that schedule keep the gutters and the glass in step with each other.
In the spring we find a film of pollen on the south-facing glass and a paste of seed and grit in the gutter elbows. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat and clogged gutters that have sagged under the weight, mostly on houses that skipped the visit. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we plan the visit around the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packing between visits, a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean, and a house close to a busy road or active construction picks up a layer of grime faster than most. A run that stays clogged for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia, so we flag it on the first visit. A multi-story building with a lot of glass takes a longer visit, and the crew sets that time with you before the date. On those houses we tell you early and set up the extra visit with you.
On our Niles jobs, one customer with no trees over the roof stays on the twice-a-year schedule, while another with heavy tree cover and sprinkler spotting is on three or four visits a year. Those two patterns are what we see most, and the first visit tells us which one your house is closer to. Clean glass and clear gutters also help the curb appeal of the house hold up between visits.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun, and the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. Either one is a good reason to call before the next scheduled 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.
Our crew has cleaned gutters and windows across Niles, from the older residential streets to the newer houses on the east side of town, and the same two-person crew handles the window and gutter cleaning on every visit. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will tell you what the visit will cover and when we can get to it. Booking one of our cleaning services takes that one call, so call (866) 435-6328 to get started.
The lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks the calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps you on the date you want. Professional window cleaning on a two-story house is usually a morning's work, and the crew confirms the time when they call the day before. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not go inside.
Residential properties are the bulk of what we clean in Niles, and every window on the outside gets the same treatment, from the ground-floor picture windows to the upper stories. A residential window on an upper floor is done from the pole, not a ladder leaned on the siding. Each sill is wiped, and frames and screens are cleaned along with the glass so the clean windows stay clean between visits. The windows inside stay out of this visit.
To schedule service, call or text the number on the page with your stories and a rough count of windows, and we will send back a written estimate and the first open date.
Yes. Our gutter and window washing services are done by the same two-person crew on one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last so the wash from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
We do not quote a fixed figure on the page because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Our window cleaning services are priced the same way, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number on the phone.
On our Niles jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: tree dust in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that leave a film on the glass. Cleaning the inside will not remove dirt from the outside of the glass, and inside glass will not stay clear while the outside is coated.
Most of our customers here book in the spring after the seed drop and again in the fall after the leaves come down. The exact dates depend on the weather that year, and a condo with a shared gutter line is checked with the building before we book.
Not on our visits. We clear the gutters and downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the runoff from the gutters is not on the windows we have just done.
Screens and sills are part of the visit and are not billed as extras. Tracks are wiped along with the sill on most houses.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit, so if you need either one, tell us when you book.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
