The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the wash water never lands on clean glass. We price our window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 for your quote. On our Onalaska jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, and the crew gets the same walk-through each time so you know what to expect.
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.
Our cleaning services are priced by stories and approximate window count, and the window and gutter bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is done with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to dry as a film. This quote covers houses, so for residential and commercial buildings ask for a separate estimate.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, 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. Multi-story buildings take more ladder setup, so a third story adds setup time to the quote. Each one shows up on the day, and we photograph it before we start, so you hear it before work begins rather than at the door. If you also want interior and exterior glass done, ask about it when you call, because this visit covers the outside only.
Here is how a recent Onalaska job went. The house had a steep front roof, a full window count across two stories, and gutters that had gone several seasons without a clean, which is where water damage tends to start at the fascia. The crew cleared the runs, flushed the downspouts, and used the pole to remove dirt from the glass after the gutter water had drained off the wall. The quote we gave matched the invoice because we measured the stories and counted the windows before we ever set a ladder. If you send us a photo of the front of your house by text, along with the number of stories, we can give you the exact number without a site visit.
| 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 Onalaska customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring work deals with the seed season, when a pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the sticky seed mat packs the gutters. Fall work deals with the leaf load, which comes down in a wet mat that sags runs and sits in clogged gutters through winter, and the professional window cleaning is timed to come after it drops.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those customers book regular cleanings every three to four months. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than a quiet street. Multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover tend to see the most build-up, and gutters left clogged between visits can lead to water damage, so we tell you during the estimate which pattern your house matches.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and water spots that do not wipe off, which also wears down the curb appeal of the front of the house. Gutters tell you when they need it too, usually by water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either sign between visits, text a photo and we will tell you whether it is the glass, the gutter, or the slope.
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 Onalaska on residential properties, from older single-story homes to two-story houses with multi-story frontage, and the window and gutter cleaning is done the same way on each one. A residential window at the back of the house gets the same pole work as the front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front. The lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, fill the calendar first, so it helps to book early.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Once a slot is set, you get a confirmation with the arrival window, and the crew works from the outside of the house only. If something cannot be reached safely, the crew photographs it and reports back rather than guessing. You get the photos of every window and every gutter run before the crew leaves.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit, and our washing services cover the gutters first and the glass last, so the wash water from the gutters does not run down onto clean windows.
We give that number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. The quote is the number on the invoice, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. Repeat cleanings are quoted the same way.
In Onalaska the outside takes the spring film, the rain dust, and the sprinkler spotting that builds up over the season. Inside glass can look fine while the outside has a haze you only see when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Spring work comes after the seed and pollen drop, and fall work comes after the leaves drop. Text us a photo and we will tell you which visit makes sense for your house.
No, gutters first and glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so we wait for the runoff to drain before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the outside of the window.
Exterior only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of the job. We also do not pressure wash 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 while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If your home is one of several condos in a building, check with the association before the crew arrives, since the outside walls and gutters may not be yours to book. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
