Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and in fall, and the crew that quotes the job is the crew that does it.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote does not include windows inside the house, since the crew works from the outside.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote. A third story or a steep roof means longer ladder setups. A large count of windows, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit rather than charging for something we cannot fix.
On one Sussex job the quote moved because the house had a steep roof, a large count of windows including several picture windows on the south side, and a back run that had not been cleared in several seasons. The crew found clogged gutters with the downspouts half-blocked, and the water damage showed up as soft fascia at two corners. That is the kind of detail that changes the number, so we ask for the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text before we quote. Those three things are enough to get the exact number for your house, and the window washing, window cleaners' tools and professional window cleaning are all in the quote we give you.
A clean front does more than the glass alone; it is the curb appeal people notice from the street. If your windows and gutters are getting close to that point, text us a photo and we will tell you what the crew would do.
| 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 customers here book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew and one visit makes sense on the calendar. Across Wisconsin the pattern holds: spring after the seed drop and fall after the last leaves come down.
In the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and seed and catkin mess packed in the gutters. In the fall visit the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a run under the first ice. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all put more grit on each residential window and more debris in the runs. On those houses the sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning, and the windows need a second look, so we schedule service for those houses more often than the twice-a-year default.
Regular cleanings keep this from building up between visits. The sign windows need a cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, it is time to book a visit so we can keep every window and every run in working order.
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 book Sussex gutter and window cleaning through a quick phone or text estimate, where we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there the crew checks the calendar and gives you a slot. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when spring and fall loads are heaviest, our calendar fills faster, so booking early helps. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
Our crew has cleaned houses in several parts of Sussex, and the work is the same on each: gutters and downspouts cleared and flushed, then the glass done last. We clean residential properties across Sussex, and the same order of work applies to commercial properties, condos and multi-story buildings for owners who want it on a bigger scale. Runoff from a clogged run can take paint and grime down the wall, so we treat the wall as part of the job and not an afterthought. Clearing the runs first means the crew does not have to remove dirt from the glass twice.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive so the gate and cars are sorted in advance. For washing services, window cleaning services and gutter jobs alike, the crew works from the outside and sends photos of every run and every window to your phone before they leave.
Yes, it is the same two-person crew doing both jobs in one visit, for residential and commercial properties. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not end up on clean windows.
We do not give a figure on this page. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it over the phone or by text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front and we will quote it.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen film in spring, the rain dust, and the sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so the crew does not need cleaning solutions to clear it. The inside can look fine while the outside is hazy in low sun.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, and that is when the seed and leaf loads are heaviest. Houses under heavy tree cover often need a third visit, and we will tell you which pattern your house follows.
No, the order is what prevents it. Gutters first, glass last, so anything that runs off the roof is cleared before the windows are cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior work.
We do not clean inside the windows, so this is an exterior-only job, not interior and exterior work. We also do not do pressure washing; we clean the outside of the glass and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
