Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We clean 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. Most of our Farmington customers book it in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number you pay.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle, gutters and professional window cleaning in one visit, is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Booking gutters with window cleaners who also do the glass means one quote and one crew.
A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. Window washing is priced the same way, by stories, pitch and glass. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add glass to wash, and we check every window for spots before we leave. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and that is slower work than a light run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Farmington house we see clogged gutters most often at the back run, where the downspout drains onto a patio and the water has been sitting. Left alone, that kind of build-up turns into water damage in the fascia and soffit, which costs far more than a cleaning. Our crews note any sign of it in the photo report. Before we quote, tell us the stories, the rough window count, and whether the gutters have been cleaned in the last year. A text with a photo of the front of the house is enough for most estimates, and it lets us check for oversized panes and steep pitch before we arrive.

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 Farmington customers book both cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and our fall visit runs October to early November.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, and that is when we find the most build-up on the outside of the house. In fall the leaf load is what we see first, a wet mat in the gutters that holds water against the fascia. Across Minnesota, severe storms and straight-line winds can move either date, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A residential window in a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills. We see these on our Farmington jobs, and we tell you on the first visit whether your house is one of them. Regular cleanings catch that build-up before it reaches the fascia, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal.
How often a house needs it depends on the trees, the roof and any sprinkler spotting, and we tell you on the first visit where yours falls. Clean windows lose their shine first as a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters show it as water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 residential properties across Farmington, and we book both jobs from one estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories, send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a time so you can schedule service in one call. Lead time is listed on the booking page, and in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, when pollen and leaves hit at once, the calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early.
We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. Gutter and window cleaning of this kind also takes care of the runoff that carries grime from the roof down the walls, which is a job we do in the same visit rather than as a separate trip. We clean the gutters and downspouts first, then the windows, so we remove dirt from the runoff before it lands on clean glass. Our window cleaning services cover the sills and frames that collect dirt, and our washing services follow the same order on picture windows and condos. The same crew handles multi-story buildings in one visit, working the full height.
This page is about houses, and for a house the same two people do both in one visit. We always clean the gutters first so the glass is washed last.
Our cleaning services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text before the crew books a slot.
Usually yes on our jobs, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that no interior cleaning touches. Our visit covers the exterior only, and we rinse the glass with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves come down. Ask us to schedule service a few weeks ahead of those windows.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff is gone before anyone touches a window.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. We do not bill them as extras.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside are not part of it. We do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 with any question before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
