Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing from the roofline lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a single visit for both costs less than booking the two separately.
Most of our Chaska customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and we have cleaned these houses for years through the seasons that matter for both jobs.
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 cleaning services by stories and approximate window count for residential and commercial properties, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our window cleaners give the number on the phone, and that number is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the quote moves with a few things we see on the day. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer and needs the boom or scissor lift. Window count and picture windows add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in a long while, packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run cleaned every visit. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the price we give up front. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it before we start.
Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, not extras billed later. Our washing services are quoted as one number with the gutter work. We also clean the pollen film off south-facing glass with our cleaning solutions in the spring and the leaf load off the gutters in the fall, and both come with the visit.
On a recent Chaska job, a two-story house with a large picture window on the front and tree cover over the back run came in higher than a plain two-story because the back gutters needed two passes to clear the packed seed heads. The customer asked us to do it in one visit, and the bundle still came out below booking the two separately. You can read the full case here.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and the rough window count, or text us a photo of the front of the house. We can often give you a figure the same day, and we would rather get the details right than guess.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one 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 Chaska 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. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the spring dust has settled and before the summer storms, and the fall visit runs from October to early November, after the leaves have dropped.
At each visit we find something different. In the spring the pollen film sits thick on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall the leaf load is the main issue, a wet mat in the gutters that holds runoff against the fascia through the first freezes, and that is how water damage gets in. Storm and wind seasons across Minnesota can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between regular 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 collects dust faster than a quiet street.
One Chaska customer with no trees is on twice a year and has been since we first cleaned the house. Another, with trees on the north side and sprinkler spotting on the front windows, is on three or four visits a year. Both cases are on our Chaska job list with the details.
You know windows need cleaning when haze shows only in the low sun of late afternoon, and the windows inside rarely need the same attention. You know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. A hose rinse will not remove dirt that has dried on the glass, so book when the haze shows rather than waiting for it to build.
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 have done window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city, from older homes near the river to newer residential properties and condos on the edges of town. Our crew knows how each residential window and gutter behaves on these lots, and professional window cleaning starts with that. We bring it to every window.
Booking for window cleaning services starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a number for the bundle. Our calendar usually has openings within a couple of weeks, and the lead time shifts in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring dust and leaves come down and the calendar fills quickly. If you want to schedule service on a particular day, book early in those stretches.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every pane before the crew leaves. A sill wiped and a clear downspout are part of the visit, not a separate request. Having clean windows does a lot for curb appeal, and that is the part most homeowners notice first. Every window on the outside of the house is included in the visit, so the grime and the film come off the whole house in one pass. This visit covers the outside only, since interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs. We schedule service around the weather so the glass dries properly.
Yes. Our cleaning services cover both, and the same two-person crew does both jobs in one visit, gutters first, glass last.
We quote it by phone or text from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give is the number we charge.
On our jobs in Chaska the outside carries most of the grime: spring dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that come back. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, and cleaning the inside does not clear any of that.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, and that timing comes from what we see on the glass and in the gutters, whether it is a single house or one of the condos we quote.
No. The gutters go first and the glass goes last, so runoff from the roof is already gone before we touch a pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and our washing services cover the tracks on the same trip.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, and we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
