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. On our Cedarburg jobs most customers book this in the spring and in the fall, so the schedule stays predictable.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We quote from those details, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and ask for a written estimate.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Window count and oversized picture windows change the glass time. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more flushing. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and cleaning will not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote covers exterior glass only, so no price on the phone ever mixes in interior and exterior work.
Pollen is the load we see most in spring, a yellow film on the glass and paste in the gutters that holds water. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the gutter material, and the crew adjusts them for the house. Many of our customers are homes with residential and commercial mixes on one street, and the same method works for both. Some houses need only a light pass, while others with heavy grime need a second rinse. Professional window cleaning and our regular cleanings are scheduled around the house, not around a fixed number, so the estimate reflects what is actually on it.
Our Cedarburg experience with one recent job is a good example. A two-story house with a long run of picture windows and a sprinkler line hitting the front glass had both gutters and glass cleaned in one visit, and the quote moved because of the spotting that needed a separate treatment. That job is written up on its own page with the details as the crew saw them.
To get an exact number, tell us the number of stories, the rough window count, and send one photo of the front of the house by text. That is enough for us to quote the window and gutter cleaning, and to say what will change the number on the day.

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 Cedarburg customers book both twice a year, in late May or June and again in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the season. Across Wisconsin, the rhythm of our window cleaning services is the same: spring for the seed drop and the dust, fall for the leaves.
In late spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutter elbows. In the fall the leaf load is wet and matted, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see clogged gutters that sagged under ice by the next winter. Wind and storm season can move both dates, so we book from what the house needs rather than the calendar alone, because a run that overflows is how water damage gets into the fascia.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust fast, and so do multi-story buildings on the same street. For these we suggest a third visit in midsummer, and we say so when we book.
We do not handle every situation the same way, because the two halves of a house need different things. Windows are the part that shows haze when the sun is low in the afternoon. Gutters are the part that shows its problem in the rain, as water sheeting over the edge.
If the glass looks hazy in low sun, or if water runs over the gutter edge in a storm, that is the sign it is time to book. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which visit comes next.
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 Cedarburg as a whole, on residential properties with residential window and gutter cleaning, and we also clean commercial properties on the same schedule. Professional window cleaning starts with a short estimate: call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the window count from there. Lead time is in the schedule we send you, and we tell you the first open slot when you call.
The busy windows are the same two as the season: late spring and late fall, when the spring dust and the leaf load both arrive together with many customers. During those weeks our calendar fills, so book early if you can. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
We keep the clean windows and clean gutters schedule tight, one run and one set of glass per visit, so each property gets the same care on every visit. Our crew checks every window and every downspout on the list before it leaves, and any sill that needs attention is noted in the photos.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the stories and a photo of the front of the house. We will send a written estimate and hold a date.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first, and then the outside glass, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
We do not give a figure over text. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we quote it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the number before any work starts.
On Cedarburg houses the outside carries most of the grime: the film from spring storms, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Interior glass does not pick that up, so the outside is where the visible dirt builds and where curb appeal is decided. We remove dirt from the outside glass on every visit.
Most of our Cedarburg customers book late spring and again in late fall. Those are the two windows when spring dust and leaves come down, so book early in those weeks. Condos follow the same two windows as houses.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the exterior clean. None of that is billed as an extra.
Not on this visit. Our washing services cover the exterior glass only, so we do not clean the windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing.
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 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.
