Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Minnesota, our customers book this in spring and fall, and we keep the same order of work on every house.
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, 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, with no extras added at the door.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or the steep roofs on multi-story buildings that need a boom or scissor lift, a roof steep enough to change the setup, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes, and signs of water damage at the fascia that need a look first. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are a separate job and are not in this quote.
To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows face the street. Professional window cleaning on a house this size is usually quoted from that photo alone, and clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal. We will tell you on the phone if something on the roofline needs a closer look before we quote it.
| 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.
On our Eden Prairie jobs, most residential properties book both twice a year, in the spring and fall windows we see each season. Across Minnesota the pattern is the same, so one crew in one visit keeps our cleaning services on one calendar.
In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, so regular cleanings in spring and fall keep it from building up. In the fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and for Eden Prairie the fall visit usually falls between October and early November. Freeze risk is real here, so a gutter still clogged in late fall holds water that can freeze. Across Minnesota, severe storms and straight-line winds can move both dates, and we adjust the booking when that happens.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all leave more residue between cleanings. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, so we check every window for them on the first visit and flag any residential window that needs a mineral treatment.
You will notice the windows need attention when the haze only shows up when the sun is low. You will notice the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain. Either way, schedule service with us and we will look at the house and tell you which visit it needs.
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 works across Eden Prairie, and we bundle our window cleaning services with the gutters and downspouts on the same visit, so the washing services and the gutter work run in one pass. Call (866) 435-6328 and ask about your neighborhood, and we will confirm we have worked nearby.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Tell us if you see grime on the lower panes or if runoff from the gutter splashes the siding, since both change the setup. Lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our schedule fills in those weeks first.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our crew works to remove dirt from the glass and the runs rather than moving it around. If you live in a condo, ask us whether the gutter run and the glass can be booked for your unit. Clean windows and cleared gutters are the goal, and we want you to hear from us before the truck pulls in.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, with the same two people on both. Gutters go first and glass goes last so the glass stays clean. This page covers houses, so ask us on the phone whether a residential and commercial job fits the same crew and schedule.
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 a quote from that.
Interior and exterior glass get dirty at different rates. On the outside, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up quickly here, so the exterior glass gets dirty faster than the inside. Cleaning the outside separately keeps the view clear, and interior glass is a separate job.
Our customers here usually book in the spring and in the fall. We schedule around the pollen and leaf seasons, and the exact dates depend on the weather that year.
No, as long as the gutters are done first. When the runs are cleared, leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the siding and let it drip before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Picture windows are cleaned from the outside on the same visit, and the crew will tell you if a large pane needs a higher reach. Tracks are included in the visit as well, and we will tell you on the phone if anything else needs attention.
No. On this visit we clean exterior glass only, rinsed with purified water and no cleaning solutions added, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
