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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Most of our University Park customers book it each spring and fall, so the calendar is familiar to us and to you.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge on a residential window job.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk the full length, oversized picture windows that take more time per pane, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We never quote interior and exterior glass as one job, because this visit covers the exterior only.
For a University Park customer with a two-story house and a steady sprinkler line, the quote we gave on the phone held on the day, because we asked for the stories and a photo of the front of the house before the visit. That is the process we keep: stories, window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text, then the number. If you have a rough count of your glass, the photo is still worth sending, because a glance at the roofline tells us more than a count will.
Window washing, washing services and window cleaning services are all quoted the same way, by the job and not by the pane, so you are not paying for each sill separately. Regular cleanings are cheaper to plan around than one large catch-up job, and we will tell you on the first visit which schedule your lot actually needs.
| 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 University Park customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On the glass in spring we find a pollen film on south-facing windows and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the elbows.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the count on residential properties. Under big trees, needles and grit build up, and clogged gutters are the usual result between visits, so those homes run on a shorter cycle. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a mineral problem, which we flag on the visit. A house close to a busy road or active construction also needs a closer look more often.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, you are already due, and a single visit will tell you whether the schedule should shorten.
Window and gutter cleaning on a shared calendar keeps the two jobs in step, and the cleaning solutions we use on the glass are chosen for the water we have here. Residential and commercial properties follow the same logic, though commercial buildings are scheduled per building and on their own timetable.
Multi-story buildings and condos are scheduled on their own terms, and windows inside are not part of this visit, but the wider point holds: a clogged gutter can lead to water damage at the fascia, which is why we check the runs on every pass.
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 have cleaned homes across University Park, and the estimate starts with a call or text giving the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we book a visit date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside, and we call before we come.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so it helps to book before the spring or fall load peaks. A slot is confirmed once the estimate is accepted, and the lead time is given on that call.
We run professional window cleaning with the same two-person crew for both the gutters and the glass, which is why the visit is one visit. Our window cleaners work from a pole where the glass allows it and from a boom or scissor lift where it does not, and every window gets the same attention to remove dirt, not only the ones visible from the street. That consistency is part of the curb appeal we care about: a clean roofline and clean glass read as one finished house.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will confirm the date and the window count on the same contact.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass below.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote the job on the call.
For most University Park homes, yes. The outside carries the grit, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and none of that is touched by cleaning the inside.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in fall. Book before the spring or fall load peaks so the slot is open when the work is needed, and call (866) 435-6328 to lock it in.
Not if the order is right. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the runs has already drained before the windows are touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we will tell you on the call if anything needs a separate quote.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit either.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
