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 nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book the work in 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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Professional window cleaning and gutter work are priced together, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but we quote by stories and window count so the number holds. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Clean gutters and glass also do more for curb appeal than either job alone.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. Multi-story buildings and a steep roof both take more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a large window count add hours. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the water can run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: it sits in the glass, and cleaning will not remove it. Windows inside the house are a separate job and are not in this quote.
Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house by text. That lets us give you an exact figure before the crew is scheduled. Clogged gutters and water damage from a backed-up run are worth mentioning when you call, because they change how long the ladder work takes. We can also tell you whether the glass around a patio or a set of picture windows needs extra time, and that is settled on the quote, not on the day.
| 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 Blaine customers schedule service twice a year for gutters and exterior residential windows, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and the fall visit runs October to early November.
On the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass, on the sill, and packed into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is the main thing we clear. Once the runs are clear, the glass gets done and the clean windows last until the next rain. Across Minnesota, severe storms and straight-line winds can move the dates, so we confirm the visit a few days out instead of holding to a fixed day.
Some residential properties need a third visit on top of their regular cleaning services. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust on every window. On those homes we suggest a third visit, and we will tell you why once we have seen the property.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either sign, schedule service with a call or a text before the next storm. To lock in a spring or fall date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
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 cleaning services cover residential properties across Blaine, and the crew moves between neighborhoods on a schedule set by the week's booking. To get on the calendar, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories. We will confirm the lead time when we call you back, and we call before we come.
The busy windows are the spring and fall stretches when debris and grit are heaviest, and our calendar fills during those weeks. Calling early in those months leaves you more open dates to pick from. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
We clean gutters and downspouts, rinse the glass, and clear runoff from the roofline in one visit. Our window cleaning services and washing services are one job, so the gutters, glass and frames get done once. We also remove dirt and grime from the frames and sills so the windows look finished when the crew leaves. Our crew handles condos and single-family homes with the same care, and the photos we send after the visit show exactly what was done.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so no dirty water runs back onto clean panes.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before anything is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what the glass picks up here: dust, pollen, rain spotting and sprinkler spots. Windows inside are a separate job, and we do not do them on this visit.
Across Minnesota, the spring visit falls in mid to late June. The fall visit runs October to early November, after the leaves come down. Most homes book two regular cleanings a year, one in each season.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and grit down the wall, so the glass is washed only after the gutters are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens get rinsed, and sills get wiped as part of the job. Picture windows get the same treatment as the rest of the glass. Tracks are included in the visit, and we do not bill them as extras. The glass is rinsed with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left on it.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the interior and exterior of a window are never billed as one job. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. For residential and commercial work beyond a house, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we can book.
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.
