Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing washes back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Sun Prairie customers book it in spring and fall, when leaves build up fastest.
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 number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The stories come first, and window washing is part of that one quote. Multi-story buildings add ladder time, and a professional window cleaning visit always starts with the stories. Most owners book the outside for curb appeal, and the windows inside are not part of this quote.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story adds time on the ladder. A high window count or oversized panes add glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Sun Prairie jobs, a house with a lot of window count and clogged gutters from a mature tree line is the kind of job that moved the quote most. The window cleaners on that visit did the gutters first, then the glass, which kept the water damage from the clogged runs off the panes. For the most accurate number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote over the phone.

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 Sun Prairie customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is when pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as paste in the gutters. Fall brings the leaf load, and the wet leaf mat is the thing that sags runs under ice later. Clean windows show the low sun clearly, and a residential window that goes too long shows the film first.
Wind and storm seasons can move these dates, and we adjust the schedule when they do, so you can schedule service whenever a house needs it. Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding the gutters through the season. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass between visits.
A sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. A sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain. Both show up on residential properties that have gone too long between cleanings, and both are easy to catch early if you walk the house each season.
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 homes across the city, and booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the time window. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328. Lead time is set by the current calendar, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall leaf seasons, and that is when our calendar fills. Booking early in those months keeps you on the schedule you want. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. We quote the interior and exterior glass as separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Gutter cleaning and window cleaning services are scheduled together so the crew handles the roofline, the gutters and downspouts, and then the outside of every window. Our washing services are booked as one job, and the crew works to remove dirt from the sills before the glass is rinsed. Runoff from the gutters is the main reason the glass gets dirty again, which is why we clear the runs first, and why the dirt does not come back onto clean glass. Owners of condos should say so on the call, since a shared roofline changes the gutter run.
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 washes back onto clean panes.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the job. Text us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside takes most of the load. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior, and the inside stays cleaner in comparison. Picture windows show the film most clearly, so they are usually the first place owners notice it. Outside cleaning removes what the weather leaves behind.
Most of our customers book in spring and in fall, the two windows of the year when leaves build up fastest. The same booking steps apply to residential and commercial properties. Booking early in those months keeps you on the schedule you want. Regular cleanings twice a year keep up with the leaf load.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. The leaves, grit and black water under them come down the wall, so the glass is done only after the runs are clear and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and the glass is rinsed with water rather than cleaning solutions. They are not billed as extras.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so the interior and exterior glass are quoted as two separate jobs. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
