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. Call (866) 435-6328 and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book this in spring and in fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest on the 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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we quote it by phone or text from those two things. The bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
On our jobs, what moves a quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted by the story. A window count that is high, or a set of oversized panes, takes longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
To get the exact number, send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the stories and a rough window count. If the house has picture windows or a lot of glass on one side, tell us that too. Most of the time that is enough for an estimate we will stand behind. Cleaning solutions are not the variable on our jobs; the access and the grime on the glass are. We use the same method on regular cleanings as on a first visit, so a house on a steady schedule is quicker each time.
Our Hermantown crew handles residential and commercial exteriors on the same schedule, and the interior and exterior glass prices differ, so we quote only what we will do on the visit you book. Ask for the written estimate before anyone is on the ladder.

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 of our customers book gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, so one crew can do both in one visit.
In the spring we find pollen on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the day with you before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust on the frames faster than the glass alone would suggest. We ask about these on the first call so the schedule matches the house.
Professional window cleaning is most useful when the outside of the glass carries more than rain can wash off. Most of the complaints we hear about curb appeal come from the glass nobody has touched in a year, and the windows inside are only part of the picture.
Clogged gutters are the more serious problem. When a run is packed, water spills over the edge in a heavy rain, and that runoff sits against the siding and the foundation until it causes water damage. Watch for water sheeting over the edge during rain; that is the sign the gutters need a visit. For the windows, the sign is haze you only see when the sun is low.
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.
Many window cleaners only do the glass, so we book window and gutter cleaning in Hermantown through a phone or text estimate. You send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the slot. The usual lead time is set by the calendar, and we tell you the first open day when you call. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the same details.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. In those weeks the calendar fills, so booking early keeps the date you want. Outside those windows there is usually room. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our washing services cover residential properties in Hermantown and the surrounding area, condos included, and the same crew handles every residential window on the house, from the first floor to the top of the stairwell. We take the time to remove dirt from the sill and the frame as well as the glass, because clean windows that sit beside a dirty sill do not look finished. Ask us to schedule service for the same visit so the gutters and the glass are done together.
Yes. The same two people do both on the same visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not guess a figure here; we quote from what we see on the house.
On our jobs in Hermantown, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The inside can look fine while the outside is still hazy, so the two are separate jobs.
Across Minnesota most of our customers book in spring and in fall, after the pollen drops and after the last leaves come down. Ask us when your gutters were last cleaned and we will tell you the next good window.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from a cleared run is already gone before anyone touches the windows below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
On this visit our washing services cover the exterior glass only. We do not do the windows inside, 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 the 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.
