The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here, 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 Horizon City jobs most customers book it in the spring and fall, when the leaves and grit are at their worst.
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.
The price on your gutter and window cleaning depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows face the outside. We quote it over the phone or by text from those two things, and the number we quote is the number we charge. The same two inputs set the quote for residential and commercial jobs, and the quote covers the gutters and downspouts as well as the glass. Doing the two jobs in one visit costs less than booking window washing services and gutter work on separate days, and the bundle saving is shown on your estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets to the house. A third story or a roof too steep to walk changes the setup. Large picture windows and oversized panes take longer than standard ones. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, packed with grit and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Grime built up on the sills adds time, and condos with shared gutters take longer to sort out before the crew can start. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate question, because cleaning does not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one Horizon City job, the house had two stories, a long south-facing run of glass and a gutter that had not been opened in a long time. The crew cleared the gutters first, flushed every downspout, and then cleaned the glass, so the runoff never reached the clean panes. You can tell us your stories and window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact number 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 Horizon City customers book both services twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On the glass in the spring we find a film of pollen on the south-facing windows and a paste of leaves in the gutters, and in the fall the leaf load is the thing that matters. We use purified water to remove dirt and pollen so the glass dries without a film, and cleaning solutions are used only on spots that water alone does not lift. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar.
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, and those are mineral marks, not dirt. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a fine film faster than one on a quiet street. Books for these houses are usually on a three- or four-visit pattern, and regular cleanings on that schedule keep the gutters from backing up in a hard rain.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Gutters tell you when they need it too, usually when water starts to sheet over the edge in a hard rain instead of running through the downspouts. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, and neighbors notice them first. If you see either problem, call us and we will check the house on the next 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 window cleaning services and gutter cleaning run across Horizon City, and we go to the houses where a slot is open rather than making you wait for a route. You get an estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a booking window. In the busy spring and fall months the calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the easier it is to pick a day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew calls before they come, and it does not come inside. The job is professional window cleaning done on the outside of the house from ladders, a boom or scissor lift on multi-story buildings where the roofline calls for one, and a water-fed pole for the upper windows. If the crew finds a problem that is not part of the job, such as a loose fascia board, it is photographed and reported, not sold.
The residential properties we see most often here are the ones that have gone a full season without anyone looking up at the roof, where clogged gutters have started to back water toward the fascia, or where water damage is beginning to show on the trim below. Catching that early keeps the glass and the gutters working together and the repair bill small.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first, flush every downspout, and then do the outside of the windows, so the runoff never reaches the clean glass.
We give the number by phone or text before any work starts, based on the stories and the window count of the house.
A residential window in Horizon City collects dust, rain spots and sprinkler marks on the outside, which the inside does not. Cleaning the outside keeps clean windows looking right even when the inside is already done.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, as described above. If your house has heavy tree cover, you may want a third visit.
Not on our jobs, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, someone has to wash it again once the gutters are cleared.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and we clean the frames of every window we do. Tracks are included in the same visit.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. Windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Interior and exterior glass requests are quoted separately if you ask on the call.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
