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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book spring and 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.
We price our exterior washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from those two details. This quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are never bundled into one price. Quotes for regular cleanings get the same kind of written estimate, from the same two details.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows cost more time per pane. Gutters that have had no cleanings in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by cleaning, so we tell you about it on the visit. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Anoka jobs, the houses with the most change in price are the ones where the crew has to work around a lot of trees and a long run of gutter. One customer had a two-story house under mature cover, and the crew cleared the roof twice in one afternoon because the first pass left debris in the lower elbows. Their quote went up only because the job took longer, and we showed them the photos before we invoiced. Outside of that, a cleaning solutions question comes up often: we use purified water on the glass and do not add solutions that leave residue. Residential and commercial properties are priced the same way, by stories and glass count, and both are quoted from one visit.
| 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.
Across Minnesota, most of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In Anoka we see the spring pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring month, and the leaf load in the fall month. Storm and wind seasons move those dates a little, so our cleaning services are booked to what is on the house, not to a calendar. Our fall visit falls October to early November, after the leaves are down, so the professional window cleaning and the gutter run are done once the leaf drop is finished.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters come back before the next booking. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster, and multi-story buildings and condos on the same road do too. For those houses, our customers are usually on three or four visits a year, and we say so after the first job rather than up front.
You will notice the windows need it when the haze shows up only when the sun is low, even though the windows inside look clean, and only a cleaning will remove dirt that rain has spread across the glass. Clean glass also matters for curb appeal, since the outside is the part the street sees. You will notice the gutters need it when clogged gutters start to sheet water over the edge in a rain, and that is the point where water damage at the fascia becomes a risk.
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 clean residential properties and commercial buildings in Anoka, and we schedule service by phone or text. For residential window cleaning services, send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date and a window for the visit. Our lead time is set on the calendar we publish, and it moves when the spring pollen or the fall leaf drop fills the schedule. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Unlike many window cleaners who only do glass, our crew handles window and gutter cleaning on the same visit, so a homeowner books one date for the whole outside of the house. The upper stories get clean windows from the pole, not a ladder, so we clean every window on the exterior and wipe the sill under each one as we go. For commercial buildings we also book one date per building, per visit, so tenants see one crew rather than two. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.
Yes. Many window cleaners only do glass, but the same two people here do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
We do not quote a figure without the details. Our window cleaning services and the gutter run are priced together from the stories and the window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and the number follows from that.
On the outside here, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass, and that is what you see from the street. The inside can be perfectly clean and the outside still hazy, and only a cleaning will remove dirt that rain has spread across the glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. The spring visit is after the pollen drop, and the fall visit is after the leaves are down. Condos are booked on the same calendar as houses.
No, that is the reason we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared first, the grit and the black water come down the wall before we touch the panes, and nothing is left to wash twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our exterior washing services. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing on this visit.
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.
