Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Fergus Falls customers book this in the spring and fall, and it is the calendar we keep ourselves.
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.
The number depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries, and we give it over the phone or by text from those two facts. When you book window and gutter cleaning together, the single visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk safely, window count, oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another one; it is etched into the glass and cleaning will not remove it, so we flag it on the visit and quote the treatment separately. We clean with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without streaks. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we usually get to the number. Send a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the stories, and give us a rough window count. Most of our Fergus Falls customers do their gutters and glass at the same visit because leaves and tree debris hit both at once, and a second crew on a second trip is the most expensive way to do it. This page covers houses only, since residential and commercial glass is a different quote, and interior and exterior jobs are quoted separately from the outside work described here.
One of our Fergus Falls jobs is a useful example. A two-story house with a lot of glass on the south side needed the gutters flushed before the glass could be done, and the quote moved up because of the window count and the oversized panes. The customer booked both in one visit, and regular cleanings are quoted the same way, with photos of every run sent before the crew left.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate for a window and gutter cleaning date. Repeat cleanings are quoted the same way.
| 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.
Most of our Fergus Falls customers book both twice a year, once in the spring after the seed and pollen drop and once in the fall after the leaves are down. That is why professional window cleaning and gutter work on one visit make sense on this calendar.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and tree seed packed into the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters and the grime that runoff carries down the wall beneath them. May, June and July are the wettest months in Fergus Falls, so that is when the gutters carry the most runoff. Storm and wind seasons can move both visits, so the calendar is a guide and not a rule.
Some houses need a third visit, especially multi-story buildings where the top gutter run is hard to reach from the ground. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and we see clogged gutters sooner. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house close to a busy road or a construction site takes on dust faster than average.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and rain alone will not remove dirt from the glass. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which is also how water damage starts along the fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which schedule your house actually 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 window cleaning services and gutter work cover residential properties across the city, and each booking starts with an estimate by phone or text using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are when leaves and tree debris arrive, so the calendar fills fastest then. Booking early in those windows is the easiest way to get a date.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so a clean set of windows here means the outside only. For a residential window job we walk the house and confirm each pane, sill and frame before the ladder goes up, so the scope is clear before work starts.
Once the date is set, the schedule service runs from the first call to the photos after the job. If a house has a sill, a screen or a pane we cannot safely reach, we say so before the visit and do not guess on the day. Every window on the list gets done, or the reason it did not is written down.
Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or ask us for a written estimate for your window and gutter cleaning date.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the grit from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
Our cleaning services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text. We do not guess at a figure from the street, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Often yes. The outside collects grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass between visits. Windows inside are a separate job, and we do not do them on this visit.
Most of our Fergus Falls customers book in the spring and in the fall. Those are the two busy windows, when leaves and tree debris arrive, so booking early in them gets you a date. For regular cleanings, the same two windows work.
Not on our jobs. We do the gutters first and the glass last, because the leaves, grit and black runoff from a run come down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens, sills and tracks are included in our exterior window washing services. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks as part of the job, not as an extra line.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and interior and exterior jobs are quoted separately. We do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home, and that holds for condos too. 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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
