Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the runs ends up on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work for homeowners in North St. Paul through the spring and fall visits, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. The price covers the outside glass only, since interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not fold interior work into this visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the quote moves with what the crew finds: a third story or a steep roof that needs more time on the ladder, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleared in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must 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. Our crew does the window washing and the gutters in the same visit, so there is one setup per side of the house.
Here is how we get to the number for a North St. Paul house. We ask for the stories and the window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us see tree cover and the roofline before the crew arrives. We do not quote from the street. A customer who wants the exact figure should send those three things and ask for a written estimate. Washing services for residential properties come down to the same few inputs in every house, so we track those and nothing else. When a house has been left without regular cleanings for a long time, the first visit is heavier, and we say so on the phone before we book it.

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 North St. Paul customers book both twice a year, in the spring visit window and the fall visit window, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this city. The spring visit runs mid to late June and the fall visit runs October to November.
On our North St. Paul jobs, the pollen season leaves a film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters, and by the time the spring visit comes around the downspout elbows are often packed with it. In the fall the leaf load is what we find first, a wet mat in the runs, and on houses that skipped that visit we see sagging hangers by the next season. Storm and wind seasons across Minnesota can move both dates, so we book from the last visit rather than the calendar. Cleaning solutions for the glass are not the issue on their own; it is the dirt and runoff that sit under the pollen and leaves.
The method is the same on residential and commercial glass, purified water and a clean squeegee, but the trouble changes from house to house. Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than one set back from traffic. We also see the same problems on multi-story buildings with long runs, where a missed flush shows up as water damage on the wall below.
Watch for two signs between visits. Outside windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Clogged gutters show it first: water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running out the downspout. Either one is a reason to call. Windows inside the house are a separate matter and are not part of either visit.
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 crew has cleaned across North St. Paul and works the city as a whole. Booking starts with a call or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the number of stories and the approximate window count, and send a photo of the front of the house. We confirm the price from those, and the lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call.
Our cleaning services cover the whole house in one visit: gutters and downspouts, plus the exterior glass, including picture windows and sills. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole on most houses and use a boom or scissor lift on the taller ones, so every window gets reached from the ground or the lift rather than from a leaned ladder. Professional window cleaning means purified water and a clean squeegee on each pane, and every residential window we do gets that same standard on the first floor and the top floor.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and the calendar fills in those weeks. If you want a specific date in those windows, book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. A well-kept exterior is part of curb appeal, and a fixed booking is the easiest way to keep it that way.
Yes. The same two people clear the gutters and downspouts and clean the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runs are clear before the windows are touched.
We give that number by phone or text from the stories and the size of the house. Pricing for residential properties here runs on those inputs, so we do not quote a figure without them.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dirtier from the outside than it does from within. A residential window that has sat through a season of that is usually the first thing a homeowner notices.
Most of our customers here book the spring visit in mid to late June and the fall visit in October to November, and those are the two visits to plan around.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runs are flushed and the wall is given time to drain before anyone touches a pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on most houses, and any hard-water staining that needs a separate treatment is quoted before we start.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing; the crew uses a water-fed pole and purified water to remove dirt, so the siding and frames are not blasted.
You do not need to be home. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, then 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. If you live in one of several condos, tell us when you book so we can plan access to the ground-floor and upper windows.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
