Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing falls on clean glass. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work on New Berlin homes through the spring and fall seasons.
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. Doing gutters and exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window cleaning services and washing services are quoted the same way, so the window washing and the gutter work share one figure. Grime that has built up on the glass for a season takes longer to rinse than a light film. Heavier cleanings on houses that have gone years without service take the crew longer to finish, and regular cleanings on a set schedule move faster for the same reason.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof changes how long the crew spends on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take more time to reach and rinse. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the last item: cleaning will not remove it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. We quote exterior windows only, so interior and exterior glass are never bundled into one price. If the crew finds a roof repair, it is photographed and reported to you, and it is never sold from the ladder.
For a New Berlin house, the fastest way to get an exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. A ballpark from that photo is usually close, and the firm number comes with the estimate before anyone is scheduled. The crew checks the back of the house when it arrives, since the rear run is often where the most debris sits.
| 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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in late May or June and again in October or early November.
Each visit finds something different. In late spring, the pollen film builds on south-facing glass, and spring debris packs the gutters and the downspout elbows. Dust settles on residential and commercial glass alike, which is why spring is the visit to plan around. Road film and spring haze need different cleaning solutions, so the crew checks the glass before picking a mix. By fall, the leaf load is the main job, and wet leaf mats are heavy enough to sag a run that has been left alone. Clogged gutters that hold wet leaves can push water behind the fascia, and that is how water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we watch the weather with you.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the outside glass, and the windows inside are not part of this visit.
You will notice haze on the glass when the sun is low, and that is the sign the windows need attention. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter during rain is the sign the gutters need attention. You do not need to watch for either once you have a schedule; the crew reports what it finds on each visit.
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 works across New Berlin, on residential properties of all sizes, and our cleaning services are booked the same way for every one of them. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text to start, and we confirm the number of stories and ask for a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. Professional window cleaning is in the most demand then, and window cleaners in town see the same rush, so if you want a date in those months, ask us to schedule service early. Booking early also helps keep your curb appeal consistent through the year, since a clean fascia and clean glass are visible from the street.
Our crew uses a boom or scissor lift for multi-story buildings where a ladder cannot reach safely. Every window on the exterior gets reached, and every sill gets wiped. We do not promise a slot on a particular day until the schedule confirms it.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit on residential properties, gutters and downspouts first and glass last. The same people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows, so nothing is handed off between companies.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us the story count and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the exact figure before anything is booked.
On a residential window in New Berlin, the outside collects spring grit, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that interior cleaning never touches. Clean inside glass with dirty outside glass looks hazy from the street, so the outside is the part that changes how the house looks, and cleaning it is how you remove dirt the rain leaves behind.
Most of our New Berlin customers book in late May or June and again in October or early November. Those are the spring and fall visits, and booking ahead of those months keeps your slot. Owners of condos who share a roofline should confirm timing with their association before booking.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are finished.
Screens are hand-rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. On this visit we clean exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside and we do not do pressure washing; text a photo of the roofline if you want to know what we can reach.
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. The crew sends photos of every run before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
