Yes, the same two people clean your 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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Minnesota our customers book this work in the spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 quote by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than two separate jobs; the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our window washing services are priced the same way, so booking window cleaners and a gutter crew separately means two trips and two quotes.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof we cannot walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, 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.
Across Minnesota the easiest way to get your exact number is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with a rough count of stories and windows. Our crew uses window washing equipment with purified water and a water-fed pole, so the reach and the glass count are what set the job. Purified water does most of the work to remove dirt from the glass, and cleaning solutions come out only where the grime needs them. Regular cleanings on a schedule cost the same per visit as a one-off, and the grime that builds between them is the main reason owners book again. Picture windows and interior and exterior glass take more time, which we note on the estimate. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
| 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 the window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. In Ham Lake the fall visit usually falls in October to early November, and across Minnesota the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June. On the spring visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, and in fall the wet leaf mat is what we clear first.
Multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually call for a third visit. Sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral deposits, and a cleaning alone will not remove them. Across Minnesota the storm season brings severe storms and straight-line winds, and after a storm with straight-line winds, clogged gutters and runoff from the roof are the first things to look at.
You will notice the windows need attention when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain, because that water can cause water damage to the fascia below. Both are the signal to book.
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 clean the gutters and exterior windows of homes across Minnesota, and Ham Lake is one of the cities where our crew works regularly. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you a number before any work is scheduled. Professional window cleaning on a Ham Lake house is quoted by stories, so there is no guessing at the door. Our window cleaning services cover the glass and the gutters in one booking, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so ask for a date early in those months.
We schedule service by appointment and call before we arrive, so nobody has to be waiting on the drive. A customer does not need to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and the photos of each run go to your phone before the truck leaves. Whether you have a single house, a row of condos, or residential properties with several buildings, our cleaning services are scheduled per building, and every window on the outside gets the same attention.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Gutters are done first, then the glass, so runoff from the roof does not run back down clean windows.
The number comes from stories and size. A residential window job is quoted by stories and approximate window count, with gutters and downspouts added on the same visit, and you get the number by phone or text before anything is booked.
On a house that gets pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, the outside carries most of the grime, so the outside is where the cleaning matters most.
Across Minnesota our customers book in spring and fall, and calling early in those months gets you the date you want.
No, we clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so nothing from the roof runs onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are done as part of the job.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do windows inside or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside 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.
