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. Most of our Glenn Heights customers book it in spring and fall, so the schedule stays predictable. Tell us the stories and a rough window count, and we will give you 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.
We price 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 on the invoice, whether you book professional window cleaning alone or the gutters too. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras, and any window washing on the outside is included in the same quote.
On our jobs, the quote moves with multi-story buildings, meaning a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, with a window count heavy on oversized panes, and with gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and we quote that before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the first visit and price the treatment separately if you want it.
Our Glenn Heights cases show the pattern. One house had clogged gutters running two stories up with a row of picture windows across the back, and the quote came from the stories, the glass count and the leaf load in the runs, nothing else. Another had water damage starting at the fascia from runs that overflowed in every storm, and we priced the cleaning and noted the slope problem in the report. If curb appeal from the street is what you are paying for, send us a photo of the front of the house by text with your stories and window count, and we will tell you what the number looks like before anyone climbs a ladder.
| 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 Glenn Heights customers book both cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the film on a south-facing residential window and the paste packed in the gutters are the main things we find. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through winter. Storms and wind seasons move those dates a little, and we adjust the schedule when they do.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film that settles on the sill and the frame faster than the rest of the block. For those we book a schedule service at the interval the house needs, not the one on the calendar.
Once a year is enough when the lot has few or no trees and the sprinklers stay off the glass. For the rest, we say what we see at each visit and set the next date from that. You will know it is time for a visit when the windows look hazy only at low sun, and when water sheets over the edge of the gutter during rain.
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 residential properties across Glenn Heights, from single-story houses to two-story homes with a lot of glass, and condos get the same exterior-only visit and the same quote method. The crew works the exterior of every window and every gutter run on the house, and we do not leave the job half done. Our washing services and window cleaning services come as one visit, so the crew clears the gutters and downspouts before the glass. Booking starts with a phone call or text: give us the stories and an approximate window count, send a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm number. Lead time is set by our calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first open date.
The busy stretches are spring and the fall leaf window, when most of our customers book at once. Book early for those and the slot is easier to hold. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way. Before the glass, the crew checks the sills for grime, because runoff from a dirty gutter leaves its streak there, and we remove dirt on the sill first.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never lands on the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we quote the exact figure before the visit. If the building is more than a house, ask on the phone first, since residential and commercial jobs are quoted case by case.
In Glenn Heights the outside carries the pollen film in spring, the rain dust after storms and the sprinkler spots, and none of that touches the inside of the glass. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the house looks from the street.
Regular cleanings in spring and fall are the pattern most of our Glenn Heights customers keep. Ask for a written estimate and we will hold a date that fits the pollen or leaf window.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is washed only after the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included where they are reachable from the outside. We rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the glass to streak.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only; we do not clean windows inside, and the interior and exterior of a pane are never one job here. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
