Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Call (866) 435-6328 and the number we give you is the number we charge. Most of our Apple Valley customers book it in the spring and the fall, and the crew comes out ready to work.
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 stories and the approximate count of every window on the outside, and both jobs bundled into one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On residential jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew sees on the day: multi-story buildings with a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, a residential window count with oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. A crew that finds these will tell you before the work starts.
Our Apple Valley customers tend to share one thing: most of them have a long run of window washing to do on a house that has been sitting under trees. One customer we cleaned had the back run packed solid and a sprinkler line hitting the picture windows every morning, and the first visit was mostly a matter of clearing the clogged gutters and finding out where the water damage was starting. Picture windows like those carry much of the curb appeal on a house like that. You can see that job here. The quote on a house like it still starts with the number of stories and a photo of the front, so we know what to bring up the ladder. Text us a photo of the house front and tell us the stories, and we will say what the number is. Professional window cleaning on a house with that much going on is faster when the crew knows what it is walking into.
| 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 |

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 our spring visit falls in mid to late June, and the fall visit runs October to early November here in Apple Valley, so most customers book both twice a year and get one crew in one visit each time. Most of our customers here are on the same calendar for cleaning services, so the gutters and the windows come off the same schedule. Setting the regular cleanings on one calendar is the easiest way to schedule service for both jobs.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutter elbows, and in the fall the leaf load is what we pull off the roof. Across Minnesota the storm season brings severe storms and straight-line winds, so a hard blow can push a visit earlier than planned.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. Between visits, the clean windows stay clean longer when the gutters above them are kept clear, so the crew checks both on each visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more on the glass than a quiet street does.
Two customer examples, one on a twice-a-year schedule and one on three or four visits under trees, are linked from this page as the cases come in. Ask us when you call and we will tell you which one looks like your house.
You will know the windows need a visit when you see haze that only shows when the sun is low, and you will know the gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 in Apple Valley and the neighborhoods our crew has worked, and the list of nearby cities sits below this section. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties in Apple Valley, and the same crew takes residential and commercial accounts. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate and a date. Our lead time is shown on the booking page, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew does not come inside.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gets you a slot. Commercial sites like condos, office buildings and retail strips are scheduled a few weeks out, and we ask for the building count and the access details up front, so we can schedule service around the tenants. The crew goes where the work is, and we take on the grime from the glass and the gutters and downspouts in the same visit.
On a site with runoff pooling at the foot of the wall, the crew will note it, photograph it, and tell you whether the gutter or the grade is the cause. Our washing services stop at the gutter and the glass, and any grading work is a separate job that we will name up front. We will remove dirt from the glass and clear the gutter, and we will not sell you more than the job needs.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last so nothing dirty lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We will not guess it here, because the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs in Apple Valley, the outside carries the spring dust, the rain film, and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks worse from the street than it does from inside the house. Cleaning the outside alone fixes most of what you see from the yard.
Across Minnesota the spring visit falls in mid to late June, and most of our Apple Valley customers book the fall visit for October to early November. Those two visits cover the seasonal load.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so we rinse the siding and wait before touching the windows. Once the glass is done, it gets purified water from the pole rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to dry as a film.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. We do not bill them as extras, and tracks are included in the same visit.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. The interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and the exterior is all this visit covers.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
