Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls from the roof 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. Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book us in spring and fall, when the glass and the gutters both need attention.
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, and doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and gutter work go on one quote, and the washing services for both come to one number. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Give us the stories and a rough window count and we can tell you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
On the day, the crew looks at what drives the price. A third story or a steep roof adds setup time. Picture windows and oversized panes add glass, and a lot of small windows add time. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer, because the crew has to remove dirt from each run before the water flows again. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Wisconsin, the work we do on residential and commercial buildings and condos follows the same pattern: the size of the building and what has been left in the gutters decide the time. Runoff from flat roofs is the first thing we check, because it tells us where the debris has backed up. Water damage is what we are trying to prevent, and the photos we send after each run show exactly what we cleared. If you want an exact number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, and we will send a written estimate you can compare.
| 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 of our customers book a window and gutter cleaning twice a year. The spring visit falls in late May to June, after the seed drop, and the fall visit in October to early November, after the leaves come down. The pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters are the two things we see most in the spring, and the wet leaf mat is what we find in the fall.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. The south-facing glass collects the most film, and a residential window under heavy tree cover picks up leaves and grit as well. Spots from a sprinkler line that hits the glass need a mineral treatment, and the cleaning solutions on a regular visit do not lift them, so houses like that get more regular cleanings. A house near a busy road or a construction site also collects more grime on the glass. Many of our customers in this situation book on a three- or four-visit schedule.
Here is the sign that windows need attention: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at it. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the outside only.
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 clean residential and commercial properties in Menasha, and the crew works on both kinds of job. Booking starts with an estimate for our window cleaning services by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number. Lead time depends on the season, and during the busy spring and fall windows the calendar fills faster, so book early. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we arrive, and the crew stays outside. Our professional window cleaning crew works with the same care on a single-family house as on multi-story buildings, and every window gets the same attention. Clean windows change the curb appeal of a house more than most people expect, and clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage we see on the same houses.
If you have window cleaners in mind already, compare the written estimate, the visit order and the photos we send after. We will tell you what we find on the roof and the glass, and we will not sell you a repair we do not do. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to ask for a written estimate.
Yes, on a residential window and gutter job the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the debris from the roof does not land on clean windows.
We give a number from the stories and the approximate window count, by phone or text. The figure we quote is the figure on the invoice, with no surprise add-ons.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Those are the things that make clean windows look hazy in low sun.
Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book in late May to June, and again in October to early November. Book early, because those dates fill up.
No, we clean gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping.
Screens, sills and frames are part of the exterior visit. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the frames as we go, and none of it is billed as an extra.
This visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house or 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 if windows face it, 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.
