The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls from the gutters lands 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. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the leaf loads are heaviest.
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 approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The savings from doing both together is shown on your written estimate, and we quote residential and commercial jobs the same way. Each of the cleanings you book gets its own written estimate. Pricing for interior and exterior glass is separate, and this quote covers the exterior only. Cleaning solutions for the frames and sills are part of the price.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows the house has, or text us a photo of the front of the house. Pollen film on south-facing glass can add time, and we will say so before the crew comes out. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it before anyone books a date.
| 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 customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our cleaning services runs in Champlin, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June across Minnesota, and it clears the winter film from the glass and the grit from the gutter elbows. The fall visit usually runs October to early November and clears the leaf load before the first freeze. Across Minnesota, severe storms and straight-line winds can move those dates, so we watch the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit build up in the downspouts and leave clogged gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder work, so the crew plans the visit around the height. Our professional window cleaning crew checks these conditions on the first visit and tells you what the house needs. Ask any of the window cleaners you call whether they also clear the gutters, because the answer changes the order of work. Regular cleanings catch the build-up early, before it turns into water damage.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning when there is a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Dirty outside glass takes away curb appeal faster than most people expect. Our visit covers the outside of the glass, so if the windows inside show haze, that is not something this visit fixes. If you see either one between visits, text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether it is due.
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 crew handles window and gutter cleaning across Champlin, and we are glad to quote a residential window job wherever the house is. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot. Most jobs fit into a window of a few weeks, and we call before we come. The spring and fall windows fill first, so booking early in those months gives you the most choice.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we send photos of every run and every window to your phone when the job is done. For clean windows that stay that way, schedule service on the same visit as your gutters, so every window and every gutter run gets done while the ladders are already up. Our crews also do residential properties and commercial buildings, and we check the sill, screen and downspout outlet on every visit.
Yes. Our crew offers window cleaning services and gutter work, and the same two people work the gutters and the glass in one visit. We clean gutters first and the windows last, so the debris from the gutters does not land on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, including the gutters and downspouts, and a condo gets the same quote method based on its stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we quote the job before anyone books it.
On our jobs in Champlin, the outside takes the most punishment. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside, and grime and runoff from the frames do the rest. That is why the glass looks hazy even when the inside is clean.
Across Minnesota, most customers book in the spring and in the fall. The spring visit usually falls in mid to late June, and the fall visit runs October to early November, and those are the two times the calendar fills.
Not with our order of work. We clean the gutters first, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. Doing it in the other order is how dirty water ends up on panes that were already clean.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped to remove dirt as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the outside of the glass only, and our washing services do not cover interior windows or pressure washing as part of this job.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
