Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book this combined visit in spring and fall, and the La Crosse crew works the same way.
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. Bundling gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones you would expect. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. The residential window count and oversized panes change the glass work, and heavy grime on the glass adds time. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. The crew confirms the quote before the visit. Our window washing and washing services follow the same rule: the price is set from what we see at the house, and regular cleanings are priced by the same method. Cleaning services for picture windows and other large panes are quoted by the pane. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and on this visit we clean the exterior only.
| 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.
Across Wisconsin, most customers book both twice a year, in late May to June and again in October to early November. That is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar.
At the spring visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters and holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust the booking to fit. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, need a third visit, because the spots return a day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site can also need more frequent visits for the window and gutter run.
Windows tell you when they need it: haze shows up only when the sun is low. Gutters and downspouts tell you too, when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the finish, and we use purified water on the outside glass to remove dirt without leaving a film. Residential and commercial buildings both get this schedule, and multi-story buildings are scheduled on the same twice-a-year basis. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage at the fascia, which is why the fall visit matters.
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 has worked across La Crosse, and we book the slot from a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, so book early for those months. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We are one of the window cleaning services that does gutters and glass together, which is what most of our La Crosse customers ask for. Other window cleaners may do only the glass, so it helps to know which one is coming. A professional window cleaning visit covers every window on the outside of the house, the screens and the sill, and the gutter run on the same ladder setup. The result is curb appeal that lasts until the next scheduled visit, and the crew will tell you if anything needs a different schedule to hold. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the stories and a photo, and we confirm the date.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so runoff from the gutters does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before the visit. The quote is what we charge.
On residential properties in La Crosse, the outside collects rain dust, sprinkler spots and seasonal grit, and those build up even when the inside looks fine. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the glass looks from the street.
Across Wisconsin, most customers book in late May to June and again in October to early November, and condos follow the same calendar as houses. Those visits catch the heaviest build-up of the year, so the calendar fills early.
Not on our jobs, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters lands on it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and they are not billed as extras.
Windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing either. The work is exterior glass and gutters only.
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. Our crew sends photos of every run and downspout before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
