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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our St. Andrews jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the dust and the leaves are at their worst. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number before you book. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
Our professional window cleaning quote comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, the same two facts window cleaners need before they can give any number. The bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows as two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Window washing, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew looks at what moves the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Multi-story buildings get their own quote, since they need a lift instead of a ladder. Window count and oversized panes change how long the glass takes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes. The windows inside the house are not part of this quote. Clear gutters and clean glass also protect curb appeal between visits. We tell you about each of these before we start.
Our most recent St. Andrews job is a good example of how the quote gets built. The house had clogged gutters on the back run, a window count that included several picture windows, and visible water damage on the fascia where the outlet had been overflowing for a season. The quote was set by the stories and the glass, then the gutter work was added once the crew saw the back run from the ladder. The customer got the same number on the phone and on the invoice. To get your own exact number, send us a text with a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has.
| 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.
On our St. Andrews jobs, most of our customers schedule service twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for them. Spring visits clear the seed and pollen that packs the downspouts, and fall visits clear the leaves before the cold. The film on south-facing glass and on every sill is at its heaviest in spring, and it can be hard to see until the light hits it at the right angle.
The gutter visits follow the leaves and the grit, and the windows follow the same calendar because the dust settles on the glass at the same time. On houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and those houses often need a third visit in the middle of the year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or construction gets a film that builds faster than a quiet street. Those are the cases where we suggest a third visit based on what we find. Clean windows hold up longer when the gutters above them run clear, so the two get scheduled together.
Most of our repeat customers across residential properties keep the same two-visit schedule for their cleaning services, and a few with heavy trees or sprinkler spotting come back more often. The sign that a residential window needs a visit is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and it usually shows up on every window at once. The sign the gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in the rain, which means the channel is full. To book a date, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text us to book the estimate. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before any appointment is set. Our crew calls before it comes, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not come inside, and we do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit.
Booking fills up in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so if you want a slot in those months, call early. Lead times in those windows are longer than the rest of the year, and the crew keeps a steady schedule through the rest of the year as well. The crew works through the week and the schedule is built around the weather, so the date is confirmed on the phone before the truck is sent out.
Our window cleaning services and washing services cover the outside of residential properties, including homes with picture windows and houses with gutters and downspouts that run full in the rain. On multi-story buildings and condos we bring a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and we clear the runoff and remove dirt and grime from the glass at every level. Clean windows and clear gutters both depend on getting the timing right, and that is what the schedule is built around.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run back onto the clean windows.
Residential and commercial exteriors are quoted the same way. We give you a number by phone or text based on the stories and the window count. There is no fixed figure we can publish here, because those two things decide it. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the price before we schedule anything.
On our jobs in St. Andrews, the outside carries the grit, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass long before the inside gets dirty. Cleanings of the outside alone keep the glass clear where the light comes through, picture windows included.
On our St. Andrews jobs, most customers book in the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest. Regular cleanings on that schedule are what most of our repeat customers keep. Those are the busiest windows of the year, so booking early gets you a slot.
No. Gutters come first and glass comes last, so the leaves, the grit and the black water from the gutters come down before the windows are touched. Doing it in the other order means the glass gets dirty again before the job is done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, with purified water and no cleaning solutions. Cleaning interior and exterior glass is a different job, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Before we come, turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
