Yes, 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. Our crew does this work across Minnesota, and most of our Plymouth customers book it for spring and fall. Text a photo of the front of the house or call (866) 435-6328 for a number before we come out.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle of gutter cleaning and exterior window washing in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. Our washing services are quoted on the phone, so the number we give is the number we charge, and nothing is added after the crew arrives.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a steep roof we cannot walk, oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated. Grime that has built up on the lower panes takes longer than a light film, and the crew says so before it starts. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone, and we will say so before we touch it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras, and the price covers every window on the outside of the house.
On the Plymouth jobs we have run, the quote that surprised a customer was usually a house with a lot of glass and a sprinkler hitting the front windows every night. Water runoff from a clogged run is what stains the trim below it, so gutters and downspouts get cleared before anything else. Quote one of the houses on our route and the crew will tell you what drove the number, and you can ask for a written estimate before anything is booked. Our crew will remove dirt from the frames before the glass is done. To get the exact figure, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. We will give you the number on the same call.

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 Plymouth customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the pollen drop, and the fall visit runs from October into early November, after the leaves come down. That is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for most houses here.
In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass, and each residential window on a south wall picks up the film first. Pollen paste packs the gutters and elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes down the wall when the first hard rain hits. The glass gets purified water, not cleaning solutions, so it dries without streaks. Storms and straight-line winds across Minnesota move the dates more than the calendar does, so we look at the house before we book the next visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all put more on the glass and in the gutters, and the spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning. Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in rain. Once we have seen the house, we will tell you which schedule fits. Our regular cleanings are priced per visit, so the schedule is your call. Clean glass on the front of the house also does a lot for curb appeal.
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 cleans gutters and windows across the Plymouth area, and we work with residential properties in the busy seasons. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and tell us the number of stories. Once you reach us, we schedule service and set a date, and we call before we come, so nobody is standing in the driveway wondering where the truck is.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and that is when our calendar fills first. If you want a date in those months, book early. Our window cleaners follow the same process, and our window cleaning services run in the same order of work on every visit, so a Plymouth house gets the same care as any other house on the route. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted differently, and this page covers houses. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
For multi-story buildings and houses with a lot of glass, we plan the lift and the crew size ahead of time. Condos get the same planning, since the lift and access often differ by building. Gutters left alone do not stay quiet for long: clogged gutters back water onto the fascia, and that is how water damage starts on the trim. Clean windows and clear gutters keep curb appeal up, and a professional window cleaning visit does that in one trip.
Yes. Our crew does the gutters and the outside of the windows in the same visit, gutters first and glass last. Nobody has to book two companies or wait for a second trip.
The number comes from stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before the visit. The figure covers every window on the outside of the house. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the figure on the same call.
On a Plymouth house, each residential window collects pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside, so the glass looks cloudy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the windows look from the street.
Across Minnesota, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit runs from October into early November. Those are the windows our calendar fills first.
Not if the order is right. We clear gutters and downspouts first, because the leaves, grit and black runoff come down the wall and across any window below it. If the glass was washed first, it has to be done again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and that is included in the quote. Tracks get checked and cleaned where they are reachable from outside. The glass gets purified water, not cleaning solutions.
No. Windows inside are not part of this visit. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers the exterior only. We do not pressure wash on this visit.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
