Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing dripping off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job 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 crews run this bundle every spring and fall, and it is the visit most people book when they want the whole outside of the house done at once.
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.
Our washing services are priced by stories and approximate window count, so window washing and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized panes, picture windows that take longer than smaller panes, gutters that have not been cleaned 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. Grime that has built up for years takes more time to lift than a light film, so the first visit to an old house usually runs longer than the regular cleanings that follow. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Minnesota, the houses that need the most time are the ones with the most glass and the heaviest debris, not the ones with the most floor space. If you want interior and exterior glass done, ask for a separate quote, since this bundle covers the outside only. The residential window count is the first number we check. The fastest way to get an exact number is to call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the window count from it before we give a price.

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 the window and gutter visit twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Leaf load and tree dust hit residential and commercial buildings alike, so the timing rule is the same. Severe storms and straight-line winds across Minnesota move the dates in both directions, so we book by what the house looks like, not by a calendar square.
In spring, the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and pollen paste collects in the gutters, so that is the visit where the window and gutter work does the most good. Glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the film comes off without residue. Dust on the windows inside the house is not part of this visit, and the outside glass is where the film builds up. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard freeze. In New Hope, the fall visit usually lands in October to early November, and May, June and July are the wettest months, so the runoff from the roof is heaviest then.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road all leave residue faster than the twice-a-year rhythm can keep up with. Heavy tree cover in particular means clogged gutters come back fast after the fall drop. Multi-story buildings and tall houses follow the same pattern, since the top run of gutter and the top row of glass take the longest to reach. A sprinkler that hits the window will leave spots that come back a day after cleaning, and that is a mineral problem, not dirt. The sign that windows need attention sooner is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need attention sooner is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, because a run that holds water into a New Hope freeze can push into the siding and cause water damage.
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.
Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning run on the same visit for residential properties across the New Hope area, and the crew books a slot once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time is the one that the scheduling calendar shows for the week you ask about, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in those weeks first, so if you want the bundle in one of them, ask for a slot early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
If you have an unusual setup, such as a multi-story house with a walk-out basement, a steep roof, or a gutter guard you want checked, tell us when you ask for the estimate so the right crew and the right lift come out the first time. Many window cleaners work only on glass, but our professional window cleaning on this visit includes the gutters too. Clean glass and clear gutters do the most for curb appeal from the street. Every window on the outside of the house is part of the quote, and the crew checks the sill on each one before anyone touches a ladder. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows on residential properties in one visit, gutters first and glass last. You get one crew and one invoice for the whole outside of the house. Owners of condos should say so when they call, so we can confirm which exterior glass and gutters are theirs.
The number comes from the stories and the residential window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will confirm it before the crew is booked.
On the houses we clean, the outside carries the most of what dulls the glass: spring tree dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. The inside stays clean longer when the outside is done, so the outside is the part that actually changes how the house looks.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, once the spring season is underway and again after the leaves come down. If you want the bundle, book early in those windows, because the calendar fills first there.
Not if the order is right. We do gutters and downspouts first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and runoff from the runs come down the wall and across any window below. Washing the glass first means washing it again before the crew leaves.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are wiped where they are reachable from the outside, and nothing is billed as an extra on the visit.
No. This visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows 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 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.
