Yes, 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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew does this work in Mequon through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, and we know which runs and panes tend to need attention first.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The phone scope works the same way for a residential and commercial property, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing the screens and wiping the sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions come out only where purified water alone will not lift the film, and our washing services are quoted from the same count.
Our crew cleaned a two-story home in Mequon where the gutters had gone a long stretch without attention and the back run held a full season of leaves. Stories, window count and the state of the gutters set the quote on that house, and the crew photographed each run before and after. The regular cleanings we book for the same house are quoted from the same count, so the second visit never comes as a surprise. To get your exact number, text the stories counted and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will come back with a quote before anything is scheduled.
Our window cleaning services cover the outside of every window we can reach from the ground or a lift, and the gutter cleaning runs in the same visit. Before we arrive, we confirm the scope so the number on the phone matches the invoice. The windows inside the house are not part of this quote, so interior and exterior glass get confirmed up front. Once work starts, the crew goes gutters first, glass last, so the window cleaning comes at the end of the job.
| 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.
Most of our Mequon customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Across Wisconsin, spring visits run late May to June, and fall visits run October to early November. What we find at each visit follows the calendar: pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the downspout elbows in spring, and the wet leaf mat in the gutters after the fall drop. Summer severe storms across Wisconsin can move those dates, so we schedule off what the house looks like, not the calendar alone. Because freeze risk is part of a Mequon winter, a clear gutter run going into the cold months keeps ice from backing up under the shingles.
Some houses need a third visit. We see it most under heavy tree cover where the roof is loaded with needles and grit, where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and on houses near a busy road or active construction. Those are the cases where cleaning services get booked more often than the usual two times a year. Multi-story buildings and taller homes are the other common case, since they need a lift or extension setup, so they go on the calendar earlier. Clogged gutters that hold a full season of debris overflow in the first heavy rain, and left alone that water can lead to water damage at the fascia and the siding below. A third visit is booked only when the house calls for it, not as a default.
Windows need attention when the haze or grime only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when runoff sheets over the edge in a rain. Plenty of window cleaners only look at the glass, which misses the frames and sills where dirt collects, so the crew checks both and works to remove dirt from every one. Professional window cleaning on this house means the outside, the frames and the sills, all in one visit. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect, and the haze is usually the first thing a neighbor notices. The windows inside stay as they are, since this visit is for the outside.
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 Mequon, and we book the estimate by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busiest windows of the year are when our slots fill fastest. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Residential properties and condos both come up in our route planning, and we handle each window and each run on the house the same way.
When you schedule service with us, we confirm the window and gutter cleaning scope, the date and the arrival window, so every window on the house is accounted for. A residential window is the same job whether it sits on the first floor or the third, and the crew sets up for clean windows on every elevation before the glass is touched. Each sill gets wiped, and the crew checks that every window is done before the ladders come down.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, and gutters always come first.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will return a figure before anything is booked.
On houses here, the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime, so the glass can look dull even when the inside is clean.
Most of our Mequon customers book in late spring and again in fall, and the crew sets the dates from what the house shows.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the roof is cleared before any window is cleaned.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, not billed as extras.
On this visit, our window cleaning services cover the exterior of the windows only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing services.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
