Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book us in spring and fall, after the seed drop and again once the leaves are down.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter cleaning as two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is the one on your invoice. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the washing services and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, the number of windows and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Runoff staining under a run that has been overflowing takes extra time too. Each of these changes the time on the ladder and the setup, and some of them change how long it takes to remove dirt that has baked on, which is why we ask about them up front.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and a count of every window, rough is fine. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, because interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing, so the quote covers only the outside glass and the gutters. If the property is a condo or a multi-story building, say so on the call, since the stories and window count are what we price from.
| 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, most of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Booking the window and gutter work together turns two regular cleanings into one ladder setup per side of the house and one trip for us.
In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, so the first pass is about getting that off before it bakes into the finish. In fall, the leaf load is the job, and the wet mat it makes is what sags a run over winter. Across Wisconsin, summer severe storms move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed calendar, and the glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction picks up more dust on the glass than the rest, and picture windows on the front of the house collect the most of it. For those, we suggest a third visit rather than waiting for the spring or fall call.
The first sign a window needs cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a quick wipe will not remove dirt from it. The first sign a gutter needs cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain. If you see either, call to schedule service rather than waiting.
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.
To schedule service, we book professional window cleaning and gutter work by phone or text once we have your stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and the calendar, and we will tell you the next open date on the call. The two busy windows are the spring season and fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills first, so the sooner you call, the easier it is to get the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when we are on the way. The crew does not come inside, and nothing needs to be unlocked except a side gate if the back of the house is reached through one.
Our cleaning services stay the same for residential and commercial buildings in Beloit, and our window cleaning services follow the same steps on every job. Most of the work here is on older houses and multi-story buildings where the gutters have gone a long time without a cleaning, which is where clogged gutters cause the most trouble. Left alone, that water backs up behind the fascia and turns into water damage on the wall below. Our approach is to find those runs early and clear them before the next storm does the job for us, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal.
Yes, our crew does both on a residential window job. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both at once means one setup and one trip.
The number comes from your stories and the approximate window count, which is how we price residential properties. Text us a photo of the house front with those details, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the exact figure, counting every window, before the visit.
Yes, because the outside carries grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up on the exterior glass between cleanings, so exterior work is a separate job from the windows inside the house.
Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book in spring and fall, and spring visits usually fall between late May and June. In spring the winter film of grime comes off the glass and gutters, and in fall the leaf load is the main job. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service for the season you need.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black runoff come down the wall, so the glass has to wait until that is finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, so they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the window.
Exterior only on this visit, because interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. Our crew will clean windows from the outside, and we do not do pressure washing, so the quote covers only the outside of the windows and the gutters.
No, 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.
