Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our spring and fall visits are the ones most of our Lake Monticello customers book, and we keep the same schedule across the year.
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.
Our washing services are priced 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 windows as two separate jobs. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more ladder and boom or scissor lift time. A large window count, or oversized picture windows, adds glass to clean, and window cleaning services on a house like that take more time. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting and the grime it leaves behind is not something a cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit rather than promise it away. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On a recent Lake Monticello job the quote was driven by two stories, a window count near the upper end of a typical house, and gutters that had gone several seasons without a clearing. The crew cleared the runs, flushed each downspout until it ran clear, and then did the glass from the same setup on each side of the house. Gutter cleaning and window washing done together is the practical way to handle that kind of house, because the same ladder position covers both. On residential properties, regular cleanings keep the job shorter each time, which is the simplest way to keep the quote down over the years.
| 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.
On our Lake Monticello jobs most of our customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in late fall, which is why one crew doing one visit for the gutters and the glass makes sense. In late spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main things we see, and the window and gutter work clears both before summer, with gentle cleaning solutions that take off the film without leaving streaks. In late fall the leaf load comes down and packs the runs, and the glass picks up dust that the first winter rains set into the frames. Storms and wind seasons can move either date, so we confirm the day with you by phone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding debris into the runs, so the gutters fill faster than the glass gets dirty. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment rather than another pass. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grit on the glass and in the gutters between visits. Our schedule works the same for residential and commercial buildings, but on our multi-story buildings and larger homes the third visit is usually the one that catches clogged gutters before they start pushing water behind the fascia and causing water damage.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain, which often means the runs are full and water is backing up toward the fascia.
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 works across Lake Monticello, and we book slots on a first-call basis during the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and leaf months fill the calendar. The easiest way to schedule service is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with a rough count of stories. We send a written estimate and a date window, and we call before we come, so nobody has to guess when the truck is pulling up. Typical lead time depends on the season, and we give you the actual date when you book.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew stays outside, does not come into the house, and sends photos of the finished runs and glass before they leave. If you are comparing window cleaners or looking for professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services that handle both in one visit, this is the setup we offer. Our crew handles residential and commercial exterior jobs with the same process. We aim to keep the schedule steady so every window and every run gets the same attention, which helps the curb appeal of the house, and we schedule service around the weather rather than squeezing jobs in.
Yes. Our crew does both, and the window and gutter work is done from the same ladder setup in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The price is set by stories and window count, and we quote it by phone or text from those details, condos included. We do not give a figure without them.
Usually yes, because the outside of a residential window takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that the inside never sees. Cleaning the inside glass cannot stop that outside film from building up, and it will not remove dirt from the outer pane.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and late fall, which fits the pollen and leaf seasons. Call (866) 435-6328 to get the next open date.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black water come down the wall as the runs are cleared, so the glass waits until that runoff has stopped.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so none of them is a separate line on the invoice.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Cleaning windows inside is not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing here.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
