Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs down clean windows. 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. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and again in the fall, and we keep the quote on the phone the same as the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the number before we book.
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.
Window washing and gutter cleaning on residential properties are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our figures come from the stories and the residential window count you give us, so a call or a text with those two details is the fastest way to get an exact number.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that it changes how we work, oversized panes, including picture windows, and large window counts, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Cleaning solutions, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Minnesota, the jobs that cost the most are the ones where nobody has cleaned the gutters in a long time, because the window work waits on the water and debris that comes off the roof. Clogged gutters that have sat through several seasons also hold more weight, and a run that is already sagging can show signs of water damage behind the fascia, which the crew photographs and reports. Send a photo of the front of the house by text when you call, and we will tell you which of those we expect to see before we arrive.

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 Minnesota, most customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and most of those bookings are for cleaning services on a set schedule, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for regular cleanings. On our jobs, the spring visit lands after the spring seed drop, when a pollen film has built up on south-facing glass and the sticky paste has packed into the gutters. The fall visit is after the leaves come down and before the first hard freeze, when the wet leaf mat is the main thing to clear.
Homes with heavy tree cover over the roof need more visits, because needles and grit pack into the downspouts between cleanings. Houses with a sprinkler line that hits the glass need to schedule more often too, since those spots come back a day after cleaning. A house beside a busy road or a construction site also builds up faster on the glass. These are the cases where a third visit makes sense, and we will tell you which kind of house yours is on the first visit.
The windows need attention sooner when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and the gutters need it sooner when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, and that haze is the first thing people notice from the street.
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.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a number that is the number on the invoice. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week, and in the two busy windows of the year, when spring and fall debris peaks, slots fill faster, so booking early helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our washing services are scheduled around the weather, and we do not come out in wind or heavy rain.
Professional window cleaning covers the outside of the glass, the sills and the frames, and we flush the gutters and downspouts in the same visit. We check every window from the outside and tell you about any we cannot reach safely. Grime on the lower panes and runoff from a damaged gutter are the first things we look for, and we remove dirt from the frames before we leave.
Condos, multi-level homes and multi-story buildings take the same bundle approach, with the crew moving from the gutter run to the glass in a set order on each side of the building.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, so you are not waiting for a second company. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass, and that order is what keeps the clean panes clean.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, so we give it by phone or text. Send us the story count and an approximate window count, and the number you get is the number you pay.
Yes, because the outside takes most of the damage here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting build up on the exterior glass. The inside can look fine while the outside is hazy.
Across Minnesota, most of our customers book in spring and again in fall. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water from a gutter run down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included on the exterior side. None of that is billed as an extra.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, so we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing. If you want the interior and exterior of the same windows done, tell us on the call. If the building is part residential and commercial, say so too, so we can tell you whether the bundle fits.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
