Yes, 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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job 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 Hobart jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen, leaves and rain have built up on the house.
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.
The price comes from your number of stories and approximate window count. A professional window cleaning done together with the gutters costs less than two separate trips, and window washing booked the same way follows the same logic. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds when it arrives: a third story or a steep roof, since multi-story buildings take more ladder time, oversized panes that take longer to reach, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras. The windows inside are not part of the price.
On a recent Hobart job, the quote was driven by the window count and the back run of gutters, which sat behind a row of tall shrubs and were clogged with grit. We flagged it on the phone before we came, and the crew cleared it in the same visit as the glass. For a house with water damage showing on the fascia, we photograph it and report it, and we do not sell repairs. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect, so the quote covers the whole front. Tell us your stories and window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will give you the number before anyone climbs a ladder.

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 Hobart customers book these cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring, the pollen settles as a film on a residential window facing south and as a paste in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load fills the runs and the rain starts pulling the summer grime down the walls. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we watch the weather and call before we come, and you can schedule service by phone or text as soon as the calendar opens.
Some houses need more than two regular cleanings a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the sill and frame. You will know the glass needs attention when you see haze only in low sun. The gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain.
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 book the estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us your stories, your approximate window count and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date and a two-hour arrival window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. In the two busy windows of the year, when the spring pollen and the fall leaves arrive, our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your slot. We provide window cleaning services for residential properties and the exterior of condos and other multi-unit buildings. Our washing services cover the gutters and downspouts and the glass on every window. The crew also takes care of the runoff from the roof, so the wall below stays clean, and the frame is rinsed to remove dirt before the glass is done. If a window has grime on the frame or hard-water stains on the glass, we will say so on the phone and show you the photos after the visit.
Yes, it is the same two people, on residential and commercial buildings alike. We clean the gutters first, then the outside glass, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows. The glass gets purified water, and cleaning solutions go only on frames that need them.
The number comes from your stories and your approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written quote before we book.
On our Hobart jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Large picture windows show that haze most, so cleaning the outside alone is what most customers book, and it makes a visible difference from the street.
Across Wisconsin, spring visits run late May to June, and our fall visits run October to early November. Most customers book regular cleanings for both seasons, and we fill those windows first, so booking early keeps your slot.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the glass. The wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and then the windows are cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit unless they are packed with debris, in which case we tell you before we start.
This visit covers the exterior of the glass only, so interior and exterior glass is not in the price. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
