Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew does this every spring and fall across Wisconsin, so we already know which houses need the glass and the gutters done together.
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 window washing is priced by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give over the phone is the number we charge, and clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story means more time on the ladder. A large window count or oversized panes means more glass to reach. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need longer than a light clearing. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, and we say so before the work starts.
Across Wisconsin the easiest way to get the exact number is to send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street and yard. Washing services for picture windows and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way, and condos are quoted by stories and window count too. We do not use a guess; we use the house in front of us, and a clear view of the gutter line and the glass tells us most of what we need to know about the time involved. Dirt, grime and runoff from the roofline are the usual reasons a window looks worse than it should, and our crew plans to remove dirt from the glass and the gutter line when we give the number. If the job needs a third visit, we tell you before we start, not after.
| 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 in Burlington book both jobs twice a year, once in late spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Wisconsin the schedule follows the same pattern.
At each visit we find the same things. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutter elbows. In late fall the leaf load and the wet mat are what we clear. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we check the roofline before we book the next slot. We rinse with purified water, so few cleaning solutions are needed to get the glass clear.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or active construction all put more debris on the window and gutter line between cleanings. Those are the properties where regular cleanings pay off, because the spots that come back a day later are usually sprinkler mineral, not dirt.
The sign windows need attention is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at 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.
Our crew cleans gutters and exterior windows across Burlington and the surrounding area, and we have the professional window cleaning equipment for multi-story buildings and steep roofs. Our window cleaning services and gutter work run on the same schedule. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, or call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service. We give you the number on that call. Residential and commercial jobs are both quoted by phone or text, so tell us what the building is when you call.
The busiest windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills. Booking early keeps the slot you want. Once the slot is set, we clean every window that is reachable from the outside. Lead time depends on the week, and we tell you the next opening when you call.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we take care to keep the glass and the gutters clean while we work so the job ends with clean windows and no water damage left behind from clogged gutters. Our cleaning services and window cleaners work the same way on every house, and we treat curb appeal as part of the job, not an extra.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, so you do not need a separate company for the gutters. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff never lands on clean windows.
We give the number by phone or text, based on stories and approximate window count, because the house decides the time on the ladder.
On our jobs the outside of a residential window carries most of what dims it: spring grit, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear even when the inside is already fine.
Most residential properties we clean in Burlington are booked in spring and in fall, once the spring rush and the leaf drop are done. Across Wisconsin it is the same two windows of the year.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before the windows are touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks and other add-ons are quoted before the visit so you know the number in advance.
Our visit covers the outside only, with no pressure washing. If you want the windows inside or the interior and exterior done together, ask when you book, and we price that separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
