Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. On our South Burlington jobs, most customers book spring and fall, and the number we give 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.
We give one number for the job before the crew arrives, and it is the number on the invoice. The quote starts from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window washing services as two separate trips. The starting figure comes from those details, so you can check it against your own house before the crew arrives.
On the day, the crew finds what sets the quote. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means more time on the lift, and multi-story buildings take the longest. A large window count, or oversized picture windows, takes longer on the glass. Clogged gutters, the ones not opened in years or packed with needles and leaves, take more work than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate job, because no ordinary cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Quotes also depend on how much grime has built up since the last visit. Houses that get regular cleanings come in lighter, because there is less to remove dirt from each time. To get your exact number, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with the stories and rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will tell you where it lands.

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 South Burlington customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit each time makes sense for both jobs. Spring brings pollen, which settles as a yellow film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down and packs the gutters and downspouts before the first freeze, and that is when clogged gutters cause the most trouble. Storms and wind move the dates a little from year to year, so we call ahead rather than working from a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need attention before they harden. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than most. If your windows look hazy only when the sun is low, that is the sign the glass needs cleaning. If water sheets over the edge of a gutter in the rain, the gutter needs cleaning, and water left running down the wall can cause water damage.
Both jobs run on the same calendar, so we schedule the window cleaning services and the gutter visit together. Before any visit we let you know what we expect to find, and after it you get photos of every run. Ask for a written estimate when you call, and we will set the date with you.
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 crew cleans gutters and windows across South Burlington, and we serve residential properties across the city rather than one set of streets. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you what the visit will cover. The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves come down, so calling early in those months keeps your slot open. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date with you before we book it.
We are a crew of professional window cleaning people, so the same two hands do the gutters and the glass, and nothing gets handed off between trips. The crew cleans every window on the outside of the house in that one visit, and a residential window gets the same care whether it is a picture window or a small kitchen pane. Other window cleaners may split the work, but we keep it in one visit to protect the glass from gutter runoff. Condos get the same quote as a house, by stories and window count. If a building is part residential and commercial, tell us on the call and we will say whether the crew can take it. Nobody needs to be home for the outside work, and we call before we come. If you want your curb appeal kept up through the year, we can schedule service on a steady rhythm.
Yes, our crew does both. The same two people clean the gutters first and then the glass, so you deal with one visit instead of two.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you can get it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window in this area takes in pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those are what turn the glass hazy, and a cleaning is what removes that dirt.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the pollen and the leaves have come down. Call us and we will check the calendar for the date.
No. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, so the wall has time to stop dripping before the windows are touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and the glass is washed with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. We also do not do pressure washing.
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, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
