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 dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Fox Crossing customers book it in spring and fall, and the crew that quotes the job is the crew that does it.
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 quote gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way. Once we have those two numbers, and a photo of the front of the house by text, we can give you the total over the phone, and that is the number on the invoice. Booking both jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips, because the same setup covers both.
On our jobs, a few things move the number more than anything else. Professional window cleaning on a third story or a steep roof means working from a boom or scissor lift, and that changes the setup. A large count of oversized picture windows takes longer per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more time at each run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it, and we will tell you so before we start. A quote for interior and exterior glass is a different job, and ours covers the outside only. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are not billed as extras either.
Here is how we arrive at the number for a Fox Crossing house. We ask for the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front. If the house has a heavy tree cover over the roof, we note it, because that is what fills the gutters fastest and shapes how often you will want us back. We walk through the price before the crew is on a ladder. If a second visit is needed for a run that is packed solid, we tell you on the phone, not at the door.
If you want the exact number before you book, call (866) 435-6328 or get it by text with the stories, the window count and the photo. That gets you a written estimate, and the crew does not need to see the back of the house to give it.

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 homeowners book cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Most of our Fox Crossing customers do the same. Across Wisconsin, the spring visit comes late May to June, after the pollen and seed drop has settled. The fall visit comes October to early November, after the leaves are down. Those two visits are the regular cleanings most houses need, and they run on the same calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most houses.
What we find on the glass in April is a pollen film on the south-facing windows and a sticky paste in the gutters. In late October the gutters are full of wet leaves, and by the time the first freeze comes the leaf mat is the thing holding the water. Across Wisconsin, summer severe storms can move the dates of either visit, and a hard wind season can load the gutters with debris well ahead of schedule. We adjust the calendar when the house tells us to.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof usually does, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass needs one too, since the spots it leaves come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects grime faster than one set back on a quiet lot. For those houses we suggest a third visit, but only after we have seen the first run.
Two signs tell you the windows need cleaning sooner than the calendar says. One is a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. The other is clogged gutters that sheet water over the edge in a light rain, because a full run is how water damage starts on the fascia. If you see either, call us and we will look.
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 residential window and gutter cleaning jobs across Fox Crossing as a whole, and we work the residential properties on the same route as the rest of Fox Crossing. This page covers residential work only, so if the job is a residential and commercial building, call first and we will tell you whether we take it. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We send back a written estimate, and once you accept it we put a date on the calendar. We call before we come, so the crew never shows up unannounced.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the late spring and the late fall, when the spring debris and the leaves arrive together for most houses. If you want a fixed date in those months, book early. Outside those windows there is usually an open slot, and we can tell you the next one when you call. A single visit covers every window on the house that can be reached from the ground or a boom or scissor lift, and the sill and the frame are wiped on each one. The goal is clean windows on every side of the house that we can reach.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters and downspouts first, then do the outside of the glass, so one visit covers both. Our washing services come as one crew, one setup and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and our window cleaning services are quoted by phone or text. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. There is no set figure we can print for you here. Send us the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we give you the total.
On a Fox Crossing house the outside carries most of the grime: spring dust, rain film, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Interior glass only gets dirty from inside, so cleaning the outside is what changes how the house looks from the street. Rain alone does not remove dirt from the outside of the glass, and that is also where most of the curb appeal comes from.
Most of our customers book in late spring, after the spring dust and seed drop settle, and again in late fall, after the leaves are down. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills, so booking early helps you get the date you want.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the leaves, grit and runoff from the gutters are gone before we touch the windows. If the glass was washed first, someone would have to wash it again, which is why we do it in this order.
Screens are rinsed and the sills are wiped on every visit, and that is part of the job. Tracks are wiped as well. Nothing on that list is billed as an extra.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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. The crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
