Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book both jobs in the spring and again in the fall.
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.

Send a photo of the front of the house by text and we can tell you which of these applies to your lot.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a steep roof that is hard to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add time on the glass. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Window washing and washing services are the same visit as the gutter work, and our window cleaning services cost less bundled, so you are not paying for a second setup. Our crew clears the roof, then works through the gutters and downspouts, and the water and grime from them are handled before the glass is touched. Runoff from the roof is the reason that order matters. We also remove dirt from the frames and sills on the same pass, so the windows look finished when we leave. For condos and townhomes with shared roofs, and for most residential properties, we confirm the stories and window count before we quote so there are no surprises at the door.

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 book both jobs in the spring and again in the fall, and we keep one crew on the calendar for both visits. Across Wisconsin, a spring visit clears the seed and pollen that built up over winter, and a fall visit clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In spring there is a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste of seed and dust in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, which packs the downspout elbows and holds water against the fascia. Storms and strong wind seasons can move the dates, and after a big storm we are happy to come back out for a quick check.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters 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 grime on the glass. If your house has one of these, we will tell you after the first visit and suggest a schedule that fits it.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspouts. Cleaning solutions from the store do not replace a cleaning, and the regular cleanings we do keep the buildup from getting that far.
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 work across the city of Watertown, and our window cleaning services run on a regular route. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text, and to schedule service we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. That lets us give you a firm number before we set a date. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so it helps to call early in spring and fall. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our professional window cleaning crew handles residential window glass and gutters with the same care. We know that curb appeal matters to homeowners, and clean windows and gutters do a lot for the look of a house. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage at the eaves, so clearing them on schedule protects the fascia and the siding below.
Multi-story buildings take more planning, and we set the lift and the crew size to match the height of a residential and commercial building. Our work is exterior only, so we do not clean windows inside the house, and the crew does not come inside. Ask us about the lead time for your address when you call, and we will give you the day we can actually reach.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the clean glass.
The number comes from stories and window count, so there is no guessing. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the bundle before we set a date.
Yes, because the outside carries the spring dust, the rain film and any sprinkler spots. Those build up on the glass and are what you see when the sun is low, even if the inside is clean.
Most of our customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Spring clears the winter buildup and seed, and fall clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
No, because we clear the gutters first and wait for the wall to stop dripping before we touch the glass. Doing it the other way round means someone has to clean the windows twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are wiped on the same pass when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit, not interior and exterior work. We clean every window we can reach from outside, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
