The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing drips back onto 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. Most of our Waupun customers book it in the spring and fall, which is when our crew sees the most buildup on the roofline and the glass.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Booking professional window cleaning and gutter work together means one setup and one drive, not two. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate before we arrive.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: multi-story buildings, such as a home with a third story or a steep roof the crew has to work from a boom or scissor lift to reach, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Waupun experience is that homes with heavy grime on the glass and clogged gutters often need the full package for curb appeal, and the crew checks for signs of water damage at the fascia while the ladder is up. We do exterior window washing only on this visit, so windows inside are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing here. Ask for a written estimate and we will break it down by stories, window count and the gutter runs before anyone climbs.
| 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 Waupun customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule. Our cleaning services follow the seasons: in spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and sticky tree residue packed into the gutters, and in fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits on the roofline until the first hard freeze.
A residential window looks fine from the street until the sun is low and you see the haze, and that haze is what our crew removes on the visit. Every window on the house gets checked on the visit, since haze builds unevenly from one side to the other. Regular cleanings on the twice-a-year schedule keep most residential properties in town in good shape. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, need a third visit because the spots come back a day after cleaning. Houses on a busy road or near construction also tend to need the extra visit.
Gutters need the work when water sheets over the edge in the rain, and windows need it when the haze stays even after a rain. Our crew can schedule service for your home at the spring and fall windows, and we will tell you on the first visit whether you need a third one.
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 window cleaning services reach exterior glass and gutters across the city, and the neighborhoods we work most often are the ones our customers ask about by name when they call. Booking starts with a phone call or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate before a slot is held. The lead time on your slot is listed in our schedule, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall leaf months, when our calendar fills.
Gutters and downspouts take the most time when they have not been opened in years, and runoff from a roof with heavy grime can stain the siding below the run. Our crew will remove dirt from the gutter runs and the glass on the same visit, and our washing services are designed to finish the window and gutter work in one trip. We do residential and commercial work, including condos and multi-unit buildings, and for those we schedule the visit with the building manager ahead of time.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last. That way the dirty runoff from the gutters is not left running down clean windows. The glass is finished with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left behind to streak.
We do not quote a fixed figure on the web because the number depends on the stories, the window count and the gutter condition. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will give you the number before we book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that the inside never sees. On our Waupun jobs the outside glass is where most of the haze builds up between cleanings.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, after the spring and fall leaf drop. We find the same buildup on the glass each season, and the crew can fit you in once you confirm the date.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass is washed only after the downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work on each visit, and picture windows count as oversized panes, which can move the quote.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior cleaning is not included, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want the inside done, let us know and we can talk about it on the estimate.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
