The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Platteville jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the pollen, the leaves and the grit pile up on the glass and in the gutters. Get your quote by phone or text and you will know the number before we arrive.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a gutter and window cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. Multi-story buildings are quoted the same way. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes picture windows and oversized panes, 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. Gutters and downspouts, along with screen rinsing and sill wiping, are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our window washing services use purified water on every residential window outside the house, with no harsh cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without streaks.
Our Platteville customers see the cost come down most when the crew can reach every run from one setup. Where the runoff from the roof has washed grime onto the lower panes, we rinse it off in the same pass, which lets us remove dirt before it dries onto the glass. Condos and multi-unit buildings usually get quoted per building rather than per unit, and that quote also comes by phone.
Our Platteville cases differ mostly in tree cover and window count. For an exact number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and the approximate number of windows, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will come back with a firm figure.

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 Platteville customers book these cleanings twice a year, once in late spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs.
In late spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters, and the seeds that come down with it. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, and the wet leaf mat is the thing that sags a run under the first freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed calendar.
Some homes need a third visit, on top of their regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need the spotting treated as well. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the glass can shed it. For these houses, our crew adds a visit so the windows and the gutters stay clear through the season.
You will see the window need on the glass: a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and a dull film that wrecks the curb appeal of the house. You will see the gutter need when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Either one means it is time to book, and if you also want interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate booking, since our visits cover 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.
Our crew cleans windows and gutters on residential properties across the city of Platteville and the houses in it, and the window cleaning services we provide are the same for residential and commercial buildings at every address. Our window cleaners work from the outside, so windows inside the house are not part of the visit, and the professional window cleaning we do is built around the glass and the gutters together rather than as separate jobs.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the stories and the window count. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. In the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and the leaves arrive, our calendar fills, so an early call gets you the slot you want. Clogged gutters and water damage are both easier to prevent than to repair, so we suggest booking before the first heavy rain rather than after.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the work runs in one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text.
Yes. The outside of a residential window in Platteville carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and the inside does not show those, so clean windows on the outside make the biggest difference.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and in the fall, so those are the windows when our calendar fills. To schedule service, call or text us before the first heavy rain.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included with the sills.
No. We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior work is not included, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
