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 an approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Springfield jobs, most customers book both in spring and fall, so the calendar tends to fill in those two windows. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a time that fits your stories and window count.
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 quote by stories and 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. We price gutters-only, windows-only and both-in-one-visit jobs separately, so you see the cost of each line before you book. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Clearing the gutters and downspouts is one line on the quote, and professional window cleaning that reaches the sills and frames is another, so both show up before the crew arrives.
On the day, the quote moves for a handful of reasons we see again and again. A third story or a steep roof changes how we set the ladders and the lift. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. The same ladder math applies to multi-story buildings, so every extra level adds time. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any flushing can happen. Clogged gutters that back up in heavy rain can lead to water damage at the fascia, so clearing them comes first. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove. The price does not cover windows inside the house, so the quote covers the outside glass only.
For a Springfield house, the cleanest way to get an exact number is a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. On one recent Springfield job, a two-story house with a long run of picture windows and a clogged rear gutter needed more time on the back side than the front, and that difference was what moved the quote. That job is on our site with its link. We do not add extras later for the same kind of work, so the number you hear is the one you pay. Window washing that includes the sills and frames is a single line in that number, and so is clearing clogged gutters on the back of the house. If you have a sense of how much curb appeal matters to you, tell us when you call so we can match the work to what you want the house to look like afterward.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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 Springfield customers book both twice a year, in the spring month when a dusty film builds up on the glass and again in the fall after the leaves come down, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Tennessee, the same two windows hold for most houses, but the exact timing shifts with the weather. For most residential properties the spring visit lands in mid to late May across Tennessee, and the fall visit in late October to November. Springfield gets 53.3 inches of rain a year, and March, April and May are the wettest months, so gutters carry the most water and debris in spring. The reason for the spring visit is simple: clean windows show the sky instead of a hazy film, so a residential window is the first thing we check. In spring we find pollen on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste of seed fluff packed into the gutter elbows, and the cleaning solutions we use lift it off without leaving a film behind. In fall the leaf load in the gutters is the main problem, and on houses that skipped that visit we often see runs sagging under the weight of wet leaves by winter.
Wind and storm seasons move the dates a little, so we watch the weather and call before we come. Some houses need a third visit, and we see that on properties with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between cleanings. On residential properties under heavy tree cover, regular cleanings keep the third visit from becoming a habit, and if you want that visit on the calendar, schedule service early so the crew can plan the route. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another reason for a third visit, because the spots it leaves come back a day or two after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction also collects more dust on its glass and runoff in its gutters, so it tends to need closer attention.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner than planned is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, on the glass facing the street. The sign that gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what we think is going on before we schedule anything.
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.
We clean the outside of windows and gutters across Springfield, from older houses with many small panes to newer homes with large picture windows. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, where you give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will get you on the schedule. Lead time for an open slot is a programmatic field, so we tell you the actual wait when you call rather than guessing here. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills, so booking earlier helps. The gutter-first order works the same on condos and on residential and commercial buildings alike, since runoff runs the same way on every building.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we do not come inside. Our crew sees the gutters and grime from outside, and the runoff from the roof is cleared down the downspouts as part of the job. Our washing services cover the glass, the frames and the sills, and the crew uses a water-fed pole to remove dirt from the upper panes. We also treat sills and frames that hold dirt, so the window cleaning services we provide reach past the glass itself. For a home with a lot of glass, the crew works through every window in one pass rather than leaving some for later.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we always do the gutters first and the glass last. Gutter debris and runoff come down the wall and across the glass if the order is reversed.
We give you the number by phone or text, built from the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle is cheaper than two separate trips, and the figure we quote is the one on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen film in spring, rain dust, and the sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Those are not removed by cleaning the inside, and on our jobs they are usually what makes the windows look dull. Keep in mind that interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this one covers the exterior only.
Our Springfield customers most often book in late spring and again in fall, after the leaves come down. Across Tennessee the same windows hold for most houses. Call and we will suggest the right week for your house.
No, because we clear the gutters first and let the wall drip dry before touching the glass. That order is the reason we do both jobs in one visit, since a second crew would have to clean the glass again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the bundle when they are reachable from outside. We do not bill them as extras.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only and do not do interior windows or pressure washing as part of this service.
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 unlock the side gate. We send photos of every run and every window to your phone before we leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
