Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof ends up on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and fall, and our crew handles the whole house without you needing to be there.
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 our washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the window cleaning services and gutter work done together in one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, with nothing added after the crew arrives.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely, and oversized panes take more care than standard ones. Gutters that go a long time between cleanings, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more time at each run. Homes on a schedule of regular cleanings get the same quote each visit, because the crew already knows the runs. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a standard cleaning. Grime that has baked onto the glass takes longer than a light film. We price the exterior only: interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and we do not bundle them into this quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Mendota Heights job, the window washing and the gutter work usually go together, so a homeowner with several picture windows and a clogged run can see a real difference in what a single visit covers. We learn the exact number by asking how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street and the yard, and by seeing a photo of the front of the house sent by text. With those three things we can give a firm quote before the crew is scheduled, and the quote holds when the work is done.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we send a firm quote and help you book a date.

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 Mendota Heights customers book a window and gutter visit twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season and once in the fall after the leaves drop, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Minnesota the calendar looks the same for residential and commercial buildings, and the timing depends on the house and the trees around it.
In the spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and a sticky layer settles in the gutters, especially at the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall the leaf load comes down the roof and packs into clogged gutters in a wet mat. Storms and wind seasons can move both dates, and a clogged run that overflows is how water damage starts at the fascia, so we book by what we see on the house rather than by a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than most. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer on the ladder, too. On those houses we use stronger cleaning solutions on the spots, plan a mid-season visit and tell you ahead of time why we are coming back. The crew does not clean the windows inside, so a haze you see from inside the house is a separate job.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 offer professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning on houses across Mendota Heights, and we work with the same crew on every house so you hear the same people on the ladder each time. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the price and the earliest slot on the calendar, which is a programmatic field we fill in for your area.
Demand peaks in the spring and again during the fall leaf drop, so if you want the first pick of dates, reach out early in those seasons. Outside those months, we can usually schedule service on short notice. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew does not come inside the house.
Every window gets the same treatment on the outside, including the sill, the frame and the screen when you want it done. Our cleaning services are the same whether you have one window or thirty, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. We set up the ladder or the pole for each run before any water goes on the glass.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the debris does not land on clean panes.
Residential properties vary a lot, so there is no fixed figure we can give here, because the number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the window count. Send us those details by phone or text and we will quote you the exact number.
On a residential window in Mendota Heights, the outside collects a spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass can look hazy even when the inside is clean. Exterior cleaning takes that off without touching the inside.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall after the leaves drop. Across Minnesota the timing is the same, and we adjust it to what we find on each house.
No, gutters first, glass last is the order on every job, and it is how we remove dirt from the wall before any glass gets washed. The leaves, grit and runoff come down when a run is cleared, so the panes are washed only after that water has stopped.
Screens, sills and frames are part of the exterior job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior cleaning when they are reachable from the outside.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. The job is exterior glass only, and we say so up front so you know exactly what you are booking.
You do not need to be home, and that holds for condos too. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
