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 two separate trips. Our crew does this work in spring and fall, and most of our Appleton customers book the two together. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the number before we set a date.
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 our washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and downspouts with the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew works from those two measures before we ever pull up, so you know the figure before a ladder goes up.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do picture windows and other oversized panes that take more care to reach and dry. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more hours than a light run. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can clear the trough. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a different problem: the crew can flag it, but cleaning will not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers the exterior only, so a request for interior and exterior glass gets its own price.
On our Appleton jobs, the houses that take the longest are the ones where the gutters were skipped for a long stretch and the glass is coated in pollen and grime. Those are the homes where window washing and gutter work pay off most in one visit, and the cleanings that follow are quicker. Before we quote, send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the number of stories. That gets you the exact number without a site visit, and the crew arrives knowing what it is walking into.
| 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.
Across Wisconsin, the spring visit usually falls in late May to June, and on our Appleton jobs the fall visit runs October to early November. Most customers book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Regular cleanings in spring and fall keep the buildup small. Spring visits catch the pollen film on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packed in the downspout elbows. Fall visits clear the leaf load before it turns into a wet mat that freezes into the trough all winter. Summer severe storms across Wisconsin can move those dates, so we confirm the window with you before we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit, and clogged gutters from that debris are the usual reason a house needs one more pass between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, and those need attention beyond a standard pass. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime than a quiet street. Condos and multi-story buildings are harder to keep on a single schedule, so we plan them on the same cadence with the crew set up for the height.
You can tell when windows need it: the haze shows up only when the sun is low, and that is usually the signal. You can tell when gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Ignoring either for too long leads to water damage at the fascia and the wall beneath it, which costs far more to fix than a cleaning.
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 has worked across Appleton, and we book it the same way for every house. Start with a quote by phone or text: give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we can tell you the approximate window count and the price before we set a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the fall leaf months and the spring visits, which run late May to June across Wisconsin. Book early in those months to get the slot you want. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo of the house front.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, from the first floor to the top, and we handle the sill and frame on each one. Window cleaners who only work from the ground miss the upper panes, which is one reason we use a pole system for the second floor and above. Professional window cleaning with that pole rinses the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak, and the crew can remove dirt from upper panes without a ladder against the siding. The same pass goes on every residential property we visit, whether the house is a bungalow or a two-story. Our goal is curb appeal you can see from the street, and a booking that is easy to schedule.
Not every window company does, but we do. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so there is no second trip.
The number comes from stories and window count, and we give it by phone or text. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted on the same measures, so tell us which one the house is when you call. Send a photo of the front of the house and we quote the job before we set a date.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit on every residential window here. Dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots build up on exterior glass, and cleaning the inside does not touch any of that.
Appleton visits usually fall in October to early November, when the fall leaf load is ready to clear. Across Wisconsin, the spring visit runs late May to June, and summer severe storms can move any booking, so book early to get the slot you want.
Not when we do the work. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then touch the glass, so the runoff never lands on clean panes.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior pass where they can be reached from the outside.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing on it. Interior glass is quoted separately if you need it, so tell us when you call so we can plan the job.
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.
