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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Wisconsin, our customers book professional window cleaning twice a year, in spring and fall, and the crew that quotes the job is the crew that does it. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house to get a quote.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings start from the same two questions: how many stories the house has, and roughly how many windows face the street and yard. Booking window and gutter cleaning in one visit is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately, because the setup and the trip are shared. We only quote exterior glass, so the price never mixes in interior and exterior work. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, the upper runs take longer to reach safely, and a steep roof adds time too. Oversized panes and picture windows take more time per pane. Clogged gutters cost more to clear than a run on regular cleanings, and a run packed with needles and leaves takes the longest. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is a separate treatment, because standard cleaning solutions do not lift it, so we flag it before we quote.
On our West Allis jobs, the quote is built from a short phone or text exchange: stories, window count, and a photo of the front of the house. Send the photo and we can tell you where the lift or ladder will need to go before the crew is scheduled. If you want an exact figure, ask for a written estimate. We will send it before any work is booked.

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.
Across Wisconsin, spring visits fall in late May to June, and most of our customers book both jobs twice a year: once in spring, and again in late October to November after the leaves are down. Booking one visit for both jobs makes sense because the same ladder position serves both, and it is the simplest of our cleaning services to plan. Our crew works from the outside and reaches every reachable run and pane in one trip.
In spring, pollen settles as a yellow film on south-facing glass and turns into a paste in the gutter elbows. In fall, the leaf load arrives all at once and sits wet in the runs until the first hard freeze. Across Wisconsin, summer severe storms can shift both dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we set the visit. Most multi-story buildings under heavy tree cover, with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or near a busy road and construction usually need a third visit, because the grime and the spotting come back faster than the seasonal schedule expects.
On our jobs, the homes that need a third visit usually have one of those three conditions. A house with little tree cover and no sprinkler spotting usually does well on the two-visit schedule. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low, and it wears down the curb appeal of the front of the house. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, and a run that overflows season after season can lead to water damage at the fascia.
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 schedule window and gutter cleaning for residential properties and small buildings in West Allis, and we can be on the ladder within a few weeks in most months. Booking works like this: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text, or call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the same. We give you the estimate on the spot, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
The busy weeks are late spring and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a spot in either window, schedule service early, because a single truck covers a set number of houses each day. Clean windows last longer between visits when the gutters are kept clear above them, which is why we book the two jobs together. We clean every residential window the crew can reach from the outside and report any pane we cannot reach safely.
Yes, on our West Allis jobs the same two people handle the window cleaning services and the gutters in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water from the gutters does not run down onto the panes we have just finished.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from the stories, the window count and the gutter condition, and we give it by phone or text before the visit. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries grime, the pollen film, the rain dust and any sprinkler spotting. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside, so the two jobs are separate.
Across Wisconsin, most of our customers book in late May to June and again in late October to November, after the leaves are down. If the house has heavy tree cover or sprinkler spotting, we will suggest a third visit based on what we find.
No, we do gutters first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water from the runs come down before anyone touches the windows. The runoff is cleared off the wall before the glass is done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned on the same visit. None of it is billed as a separate extra.
Our washing services on this visit cover exterior glass and gutters only. Cleaning the windows inside is not part of the visit, and we do not do pressure washing either. The gutters and downspouts are cleared on the same trip.
No, 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. If the property is one of several condos on a shared roof, tell us when you book so we can check gutter access first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
