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 an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Shiloh jobs, most customers book it for spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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. Our quotes are built from those inputs, so tell us the stories and the count of each residential window when you call, and we will tell you where your house falls before we book.
On the day, the crew finds a handful of things that move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take longer to reach and rinse. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers does not come off with regular cleaning, so we note it and quote the treatment separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Shiloh job, the quote moved because of window washing on an older two-story house with a lot of glass on the back elevation, and a gutter run that had not been opened in a long time. The crew reported the packed downspout elbows and the staining on the glass in the photos they sent before leaving. Houses like that take longer and cost more, which is why we ask about stories and window count first. For a number on your house, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it is. Our crew handles washing services for both the glass and the gutters, and we give you the exact figure before we book.
Our exterior window cleaning gets rid of the film left by dust and rain, which is how dirt settles on the frames and sills. Crews have to remove dirt from the frames and sills before they rinse the glass, or it runs down the clean pane. Gutters carry a lot of that same grime down into the downspouts, and the runoff from those downspouts is what stains the wall below. Our crew clears the gutters and downspouts and rinses the glass with purified water, so the dirt that was on the frames and in the gutters goes with the wash rather than dropping back onto clean glass. If you want an exact quote, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front and we will send you a written estimate.

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 Shiloh customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. In spring the pollen film is thick on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs the gutters and elbows. In the fall the wet leaf load comes down and sits in the runs until the first hard freeze.
Storm and wind seasons can move those dates a little, and when a late storm drops a lot of debris we move the visit up. Some houses need a third visit, and the crew brings its own cleaning solutions for the frames and sills while the glass gets purified water. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming into the gutters between visits. 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 picks up a lot of dust, and the glass shows it fast. Those houses are on three or four visits a year, and we say so after the first look.
Our customers who do not have trees over the roof usually book once a year in the late fall and find that is enough for the glass and the gutters. Our customers under heavy trees or with sprinkler spotting come back for regular cleanings every few months. We track what we find on each visit and tell you which schedule your lot needs. Residential and commercial properties follow the same rule: the building decides how often it needs cleanings, not the calendar.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low, usually in the morning or the late afternoon. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain instead of falling into the downspout. Either sign means it is time to book, and both are easy to check from the ground with the sun behind you.
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 houses across Shiloh, and we work the city as a whole rather than one street at a time. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. We give you a quote that day and a date once the calendar is set. Lead time depends on the season, and our calendar fills first in the busy spring and fall windows, so book early if you want a particular week. Clean gutters and clean glass do a lot for curb appeal, and both come from the same visit.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know the day. Our professional window cleaning uses a water-fed pole for upper floors, which means fewer ladders leaned on the siding. Many of our Shiloh customers choose the bundle because one visit is simpler than scheduling two trade crews, and the bundle keeps the window cleaning services on one invoice.
We also clean the glass on multi-story buildings, condos and the gutters on homes with heavy runs, and the crew is set up for both. Residential properties get the same two-job visit. If a house has been left too long, the gutters can hold enough water to cause water damage at the fascia and along the wall beneath, so we check for that on the first visit. Our window cleaners work outside only on this visit, which is why interior and exterior glass are kept as separate questions when you call, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared first so the wash does not run back down the glass.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit, with gutters done first and the glass last.
We give that number on the phone or by text, based on the number of stories and the size of the house. The quote is the number you pay.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that show through the glass. Clean windows start on the outside. The inside can look fine while the outside is hazy.
Most of our Shiloh customers book in the spring and the fall, and that is when we see the heaviest pollen and leaf loads.
No. Gutters come first and glass last, so the debris and water from the runs are gone before any window is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned on every window, and none of that is billed separately.
On this visit we clean the outside of the glass only. Windows inside the house are not part of the quote, and we do not do pressure washing.
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.
