Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Minnesota, most of the houses we clean are booked for the spring and fall cycle, and we keep the work to the outside of the glass and the gutter runs. Give us your stories and a rough window count and we will tell you the number on the phone.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and the starting figure is shown with the package options above.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the highest runs. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which take longer to reach and wipe without streaks. Quotes cover exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work is priced separately. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more hauling. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Marshall job, the quote came down to the number of stories, the window count and the fact that the gutters had not been opened since the prior fall. Grime had built up on the south-facing glass and the gutters were packed. The crew cleared the runs, flushed each downspout, and then did the glass, and the customer got one invoice that matched the number quoted. If you are not sure of your window count, send a photo of the front of the house by text and we will count it from there. Cleaning solutions for the glass are included, and we use purified water so the panes dry without spotting.
Regular cleanings keep the bill predictable, because a gutter that is cleared every visit takes less time than one that has been left to build up. Keeping up with cleanings also protects curb appeal, since a dirty gutter line and hazy glass show first from the street. Residential and commercial properties follow the same logic for the exterior glass, though commercial pricing is set per building.
| 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 of our customers book cleaning services twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew does gutters and exterior windows in one visit. Our jobs here follow the same calendar, so the bundle makes sense for most houses.
In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutters, and the downspout elbows are often full of seed. In fall the leaf load is heavier, and clogged gutters full of wet leaves can sag a hanger and send water behind the fascia, which is a path to water damage. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we book around the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust on the frames and sills. Commercial buildings and multi-story buildings often fall into this group, because the upper runs collect more debris than the lower ones.
Ask us about your own house on the first call and we will tell you which schedule your lot needs. Windows that look hazy only when the sun is low need cleaning, and gutters that send water sheeting over the edge during rain need clearing before the next storm.
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 provide professional window cleaning and gutter work across Marshall, and our window cleaning services cover residential properties and commercial buildings. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date, and the lead time is shown on the booking page. When our calendar fills, it is usually in the two busy windows of the year, which follow the spring rush and the fall leaf drop, so the earlier you call the more choice you have.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so the arrival is never a surprise. If a gutter cannot be reached safely or a window cannot be wiped from the ground, we photograph it and tell you before we leave.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the stories, the window count and a date. A residential window and gutter visit takes one crew on one day in most cases, and every window on the outside gets the same clean finish. Include the sill and frame when you book, so the glass and the trim are done together and the curb appeal looks finished from the street.
Yes. The same two people who wipe the glass clear the gutters, and we do the gutters first so the runoff does not land on clean windows. You get one visit and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it from there.
Usually the outside carries more of the load here. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, and that is what cuts the light through the glass, so the inside can look clean while the outside still looks hazy. Exterior cleaning is how you remove dirt that the inside never sees.
Across Minnesota most of our customers book spring and fall, with the spring visit in mid to late June and the fall visit from October to early November. Booking early keeps your slot.
Not on our jobs, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before anyone touches the glass. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff and grime are gone before the panes are wiped.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. Condos with a shared roof are quoted after we see the gutter runs, since those may belong to the building.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so we do not clean windows inside the house, and our washing services stop at the gutters and the outside of the glass. Ask us if you want interior work quoted separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
