Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof ends up on 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. Most of our Brooklyn Center customers book it in the spring and in the fall, which is when the roofline and the glass need it most. Text a photo of the front of your house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you a number before we come out.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Doing the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking window washing and our other washing services as separate trips, and we can give you a starting figure for a typical house once you text us the stories and window count. Each price is only a starting point, because the crew confirms the details on site before work begins.
Several things move the quote. Steep roofs and multi-story buildings take more time and more equipment, and a long run of picture windows adds glass to the list. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, leaves and grit, take longer to clear than a run we saw last month. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the troughs, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers needs more than a standard wash. Gutters and downspouts get flushed, screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
On a recent job on one of our Brooklyn Center streets, the house had two stories, a long south-facing wall of glass and gutters that had gone several seasons without a visit. The crew cleared the gutters first, flushed each downspout until it ran clear, and then did the windows, which is how the bill came out where we quoted it. To get your exact number, count your stories, estimate how many windows face the street and the back yard, and text a photo of the front of the house. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, and a house that has gone a long time without one usually needs a little more time on the first visit.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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 Brooklyn Center customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one window and gutter visit with one crew makes sense for the calendar. In the spring the glass collects a yellow pollen film, especially on south-facing windows, and the gutters pick up pollen paste along with seeds and debris. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for that film and road grit, so one pass usually clears the glass. In the fall the leaf load builds up in the troughs, and clogged gutters hold wet leaves against the fascia until the first cold snap. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates by a few weeks, so we watch the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and a gutter that overflows for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or an active construction site collects a fine film of dust that no single cleaning fully clears. When we see these conditions on the first visit, we tell you what we found and how often we would suggest coming back.
The window tells you when it needs attention: a faint haze appears when the sun sits low in the afternoon. The gutters tell you when they need attention too, because runoff sheets over the edge during a heavy rain instead of running down the downspouts. If you see either sign between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is. If the haze shows on the windows inside the house, that is not part of this visit, because we work on the outside of the glass.
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 crews have window cleaning services on the books across Brooklyn Center, and our window cleaners work the same streets in the spring and fall rush. Booking is simple: text or call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we send back an estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills faster, so if you want to schedule service in those months, reach out early. Once a date is set, we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Professional window cleaning is a different job from a quick rinse with a hose. The crew uses a water-fed pole and purified water, so the glass dries without spots, and every window gets the same attention, from the picture window in the front room to the smaller panes upstairs. Clean glass and a clear gutter line do more for curb appeal than most people expect. We also wipe the sill under each window, because that is where grime and dust gather, and where a quick job usually skips; the crew takes the time to remove dirt there first. If something on the house needs more than cleaning, we photograph it and tell you, and we will not push a repair on the ladder.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof washes onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house; we quote residential and commercial jobs the same way, by phone or text before we come. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send it back.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what collects on a residential window here: the grime that builds up through spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that cling to the glass. The inside of the glass does not carry any of that.
Most of our Brooklyn Center customers book in the spring and in the fall. Those are the times the pollen film and the leaf load build up on residential properties, so the glass and the gutters both need attention.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the water and debris from the roof will run down the wall and leave streaks.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, and nothing is billed as an extra.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are not bundled into one price. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home for exterior work, and that holds for condos too. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
