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 both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and the fall, and that is the calendar we work to.
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 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.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, window count and picture windows or other 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. The price covers the outside of the glass only, so windows inside the house are not part of it.
Window washing on a house this size is mostly about getting the top floor right, and that takes the same care as the ground floor. Professional window cleaning means the water is purified before it touches the glass, so the panes dry clean without a towel. Curb appeal is the reason most people book, but clogged gutters are the reason the outside of the windows gets dirty faster than it should, because the runoff from a blocked run ends up on the glass below it. Multi-story buildings and houses with a lot of glass take longer, and that is reflected in the number. When a gutter has been overflowing for a season, we also check the fascia behind it, because water damage behind a sagging run is the thing we most want to catch before it spreads.
To get the exact number, text us the front of the house, tell us the number of stories, and give us a rough window count. We will call you back with a firm quote for both jobs. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and ask for a written estimate before any work is booked.

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 customers in Little Canada book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On what we find at each visit, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters in the spring, and the leaf load is what fills the runs in the fall. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so the calendar is set by what the house needs rather than by a fixed day.
The houses that need a third visit are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and the ones with a sprinkler line hitting the glass. Those spots come back a day after cleaning, and a second pass with the crew is what catches them. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more grime on the glass and more debris in the runs, so it tends to be on a shorter schedule. Residential properties with a lot of windows and residential window setups with mixed exposures often end up on a three-visit pattern for this reason.
Gutters need attention again when water sheets over the edge in a rain, and windows need it when you see a haze you only notice with the sun low. Our regular cleanings are scheduled so that the glass is done after the gutters, and every window is checked for the sill film and the frame dust that the first pass tends to leave behind. Keeping clean windows between visits is mostly about those two films, so the crew checks both before it leaves. Schedule service with us once the first visit is done, and we will set the next date from what we found on the glass and in the runs.
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 book gutter and window cleaning across the city of Little Canada, with the crew working the same route each season. Booking starts with a call or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall, when our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the better your date will be.
Our crew handles the washing services and window cleaning services for the outside of the house, and the gutters and downspouts in the same visit. The grime on the glass and the runoff from the gutters are the two things that make the outside of a window look dirty within a few weeks, so we do both on the same day and in the right order. We remove dirt from the frames and sills, and we rinse the screens while they are off. Condos and townhouse blocks are handled the same way, one building at a time, with the crew calling before they arrive.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. If you have questions about the schedule before booking, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the building.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first, because leaves and black water coming down the wall would otherwise land on glass we just washed.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, the same way for residential and commercial buildings. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house, and we will quote both jobs together.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. The inside can look clean while the outside is hazy, especially on the sides that take the sun.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, once the pollen drop and the leaf drop are done. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills, so booking early helps.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last means the runs are cleared and flushed before anyone touches the windows, so nothing from the gutters lands on glass that is already done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and none of it is billed as an extra. The glass itself is done with purified water, so the usual pass needs no cleaning solutions on the panes.
This visit covers exterior glass only. We do not offer interior and exterior glass as one package here, and pressure washing is not part of this bundle.
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.
