Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Bellevue jobs most customers book the work in the spring and fall, the two windows when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Tell us your stories and a rough window count, and the number we give you 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.

On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a steep roof is hard to work from a boom or scissor lift, and a window count that runs high with oversized panes adds time too. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning will remove also move the number. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, so the quote covers every one of our washing services on the house.
Gutter and window cleaning is a single visit when we can work from one setup per side of the house, which is why we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text before we give a number. Residential and commercial jobs get the same quote sheet: stories, window count and a photo of the front. We use purified water on the glass and no cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left to rinse off the sills. Send the stories, the window count and a photo, and we will tell you what the visit costs before anyone is booked. Our crew also does the interior and exterior glass at some other jobs, but on this visit we clean the outside only, and picture windows on upper floors are reached from the ground when it is safe to do so.
Pollen film and paste are the two things that add time here in the spring, and clogged gutters from leaves add time in the fall. Regular cleanings keep the work to a single pass, so the first visit is usually the longest. Our crew can give you that schedule in writing once we have seen the house.
| 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 customers here book both twice a year, in the late spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Wisconsin the same pattern holds for the houses we clean, and it is the rhythm our window cleaning services are set around.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the downspout elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the gutters after the trees drop. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we call before we come. Plenty of window cleaners only book the glass, but gutters and glass on one visit keep both jobs on the same date.
Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a home near a busy road or construction tend to need a third visit. Gutters that overflow in a fall rain are the usual route to water damage at the fascia, so those get a second look. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning. Gutters on those lots fill again faster, so we tell the customer what the crew found on the first visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the curb appeal of the house, and the seal around the frames stays clean where dirt collects against it.
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 work across Bellevue, and our crew has cleaned the window and gutter cleaning jobs on the streets that fill up first in the busy months. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text where you give the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. That gets you on the calendar for a visit, and our schedule service confirms the date in writing.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, but we ask for the side gate to be open and the sprinklers off the night before, so the glass is dry and the ground is firm. On the day, the crew works from the outside to remove dirt from each frame and sill before the glass is rinsed. Residential properties in Bellevue are mostly two stories with a basement, which is the case our crew sees most, though every window and every sill is measured on the day. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
The two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, are when the calendar fills, so book early in those months if you want a fixed date. Outside those windows we can usually fit you in sooner. Our crew reaches clean windows and gutters on the same visit for residential window and gutter cleaning, one setup per side of the house, and we send the photos before the truck leaves.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will quote it before anyone is booked.
On our Bellevue jobs the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees, so the outside is where most of the grime is, and that is where the crew works to remove dirt.
Most of our customers here book in the late spring and again in the fall, after the pollen and leaf drop.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared first, the runoff is rinsed off the walls before anyone touches the windows, so you do not get the same water on the panes twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are done as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the outside of the glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of it, and pressure washing is not among our washing services here.
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.
