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 booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew cleans the outside of windows and gutters with the same setup each time, and most of our customers book that combined visit in the spring and fall.
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. Booking the gutters and the windows together in one visit costs less than paying for two separate window cleaning services, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will return a written estimate.
Several things move the quote, and the crew sees them on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the boom or scissor lift. Window count and oversized panes change how long the glass takes, and gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work per run. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last item on that list, and no cleaning removes it. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are never billed as extras.
To get the exact number, send us the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house. Our crew checks the roofline from the ground and confirms the figure before anyone books a date. The same questions come up on most of our Cudahy jobs, so the estimate usually takes one call. If something changes once the crew is on site, such as grime that needs a second pass or a picture windows run that takes longer than expected, we say so before the work continues.
Residential properties and commercial buildings both get the same estimate, because the price follows the stories and the glass rather than who owns the building. A residential window job is quoted the same way for a homeowner or a property manager. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and we only quote the exterior on this visit. Regular cleanings on a set schedule cost less per visit than a one-time job, and we will tell you which schedule fits the house when we talk.
| 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 Cudahy customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In the spring, pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and pollen paste packs the gutters. In the fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs over winter. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates by a few weeks, and we adjust the schedule when that happens.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover both collect needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and runoff from a full gutter that sheets over the edge streaks the siding below it. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the glass than a quiet street. A window and gutter plan for residential and commercial buildings should match how the building is actually used, and we will tell you which of those applies once we see it. Water damage can start when a gutter stays full through the wettest months here, April, June and August, so a backed-up run gets cleared first.
The easiest sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon, and it often shows up on the windows inside too, which we do not clean on this visit. The easiest sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which means the run is full. Cleaning solutions alone do not remove dirt packed into a gutter, because the buildup is physical and has to be cleared by hand. Clogged gutters are the first thing we check.
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 provides cleaning services on residential properties across Cudahy, and the neighborhoods we clean most often are the ones we list on the call. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call. The two busy windows of the year are when our calendar fills, so booking early in those months helps.
Our window cleaners do professional window cleaning from a boom or scissor lift on tall houses and from a water-fed pole on the lower floors. The same crew that does the window washing also clears the gutters, so there is no second trip and no second setup. We call before we come, and we do not show up without a confirmed date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Each job gets the same steps: the roof blow-off, the gutter clear, the downspout flush, and then the glass. Every window is checked before the crew leaves, and the sill is wiped on the way out. Curb appeal improves most when the gutters and the glass are done in the same visit, which is why we bundle them. If you need to schedule service for a commercial building or one of the condos in a complex, tell us when you call and we will plan the route around it.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows, so the glass stays clean after the gutter run.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will give you the exact figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries pollen, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Those build up between visits, so the outside needs its own cleaning.
Most of our Cudahy customers book in the spring and the fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up. Booking early in those months gets you a better date.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Once the runs are clear and the downspouts are flushed, the wall dries before we touch the windows.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills, and clean the frames as we go.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do interior cleaning or pressure washing. Tell us if you need either and we will refer you to someone who does.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
