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. Across Wisconsin, most of the houses we clean are booked for spring and fall, which is when seed and leaves build up enough to matter. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. The quote covers the outside of the house only, so interior and exterior glass are never bundled into one price on this visit.
Five things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take more care to dry without marks. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with pollen, seeds, needles and leaves, and that takes longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Wisconsin, a homeowner who sends a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories gets the most accurate number by text. Count the windows on each floor if you can, and let us know about any cleaning solutions you have used before, since residue changes how the glass dries. Our residential and commercial customers both get the same written quote, and regular cleanings usually land on a predictable price once the first visit has set the baseline.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will send back the number.

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 Grafton customers book both of these cleaning services twice a year, with the fall visit in late October to November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Wisconsin the spring visit lands in late May to June, after the seed drop, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves and before the first hard freeze. Homeowners comparing window cleaners often ask whether professional window cleaning is worth pairing with the gutters, and for most two-story houses one visit is the simpler answer.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and seed paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the downspouts. Across Wisconsin, summer severe storms can shift those dates, and we adjust the calendar when a storm leaves debris on the roof. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, so a three-story house is booked as a longer visit. Houses with heavy tree cover need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts and leave clogged gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass needs attention too, since the spots it leaves come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that stay clogged through a storm can send water down the wall and cause water damage at the fascia, so a backed-up run gets booked sooner. A house near a busy road or a construction site also gets more grime on the glass and more runoff in the gutters.
Clean glass does the most for curb appeal at the spring visit. Windows inside are a separate job, so this visit covers the outside of the glass only. The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain, which usually means the downspouts are blocked and the runoff has nowhere to go.
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 serve residential window and gutter cleaning across Grafton, including residential properties up to three stories, and we treat the city as one service area. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will confirm the quote and the earliest date on our calendar. Lead times vary with the season, and we will tell you what we have open when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks our calendar fills, so booking early keeps the visit you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We call before we come, so the visit is never a surprise. Our crew handles every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame around each pane, so you get clean windows rather than a partial job.
Yes, and it is the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean windows. You get one appointment and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a price on this page, because the house decides it. Send us the stories and a photo of the front, and we will tell you the number we will charge.
In Grafton the outside carries most of the grime: spring dust and seed, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up over the season. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film on the glass, so the outside is the part that changes how the house looks. Condos get the same outside-first treatment, since the weather marks the outside of the glass first.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, after the seed drop and after the leaves come down. Across Wisconsin the spring visit lands in late May to June. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you the next open date.
Not on our jobs. We clean the gutters and downspouts first, flushing each one, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the glass. Doing it in the other order means the crew has to remove dirt from the same panes twice.
Screens, sills and the frames around each pane are part of our washing services, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks on the outside are wiped as part of the same visit.
Our window cleaning services cover the exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this job. If you need either one, tell us and we will schedule it separately.
No, 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
