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 dripping off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Waunakee jobs, most customers book the spring and fall visits, so the calendar tends to fill in those windows. Text a photo of the front of your house and we will tell you 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, so a window washing job done in one visit with the gutter work costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our washing services follow the same count, stories first and then the windows.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized picture windows and a high row of glass add time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, take more work than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the count, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no cleaning removes, so we flag it up front. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this quote covers the outside only.
On a recent Waunakee job, the quote came up because the house had two stories, a wide run of picture windows on the south side, and gutters that had gone several seasons without a clean. Those three things set the time on the ladder, and the customer knew the number before the crew arrived. Customers on regular cleanings get the same count at each visit, so a repeat booking does not start from zero. To get your exact figure, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate.

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.
The crew does residential and commercial jobs, and most of our Waunakee customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. That is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense.
In spring, the pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and the spring debris packs the gutters. Fall brings the leaf load, and clogged gutters backed up by a wet leaf mat are what push water up the downspouts and into the eaves, which can lead to water damage. Plain water will not lift all of that film, so our cleaning solutions go on the south-facing glass where it has dried. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, so we look at the house before we set the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, so those customers are on every three or four months. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass get the same planning at the start. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up more dust. For those homes we plan the extra visit at the start.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. The windows inside are not part of this visit, so the haze you notice first is usually on the outside glass. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Either way, text us a photo of the roofline and we will say which visit fits.
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 the outside of windows and gutters in Waunakee for homeowners who want the work done in one visit, with cleaning services that stay on the ladder until the last sill is wiped. We check every window from the outside before the ladder comes down. Clean glass and clear gutters are the quickest way to improve curb appeal on a Waunakee house. We work with a limited number of crews, so a slot fills the way it does for any professional window cleaning company that keeps its schedule tight. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will tell you the next open date and whether it lands in a busy window.
Window cleaning services start with the estimate. To schedule service, we ask for the number of stories and an approximate window count, and we look at the photo to see the roof pitch and the glass. We call before we come, and we confirm the morning the crew leaves. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Window cleaners who take the time to check the schedule ahead of time keep the job on track, and that is how we want to run every visit.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
We do not quote a figure for residential properties without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the size of the job, and you can get it by phone or by text with a photo of the front of the house.
For a residential window in Waunakee, the outside collects film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up faster than the inside. Cleaning the outside alone makes the house look right from the curb.
Our Waunakee customers most often book in the spring, after the pollen drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Anything washed first would need a second pass to remove dirt that lands on it from above, so we avoid that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit, for a house or a condo. We do not clean the inside of the glass or do pressure washing, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
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.
