Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book spring and fall, the two windows when the grime and runoff build up fastest.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you one price for gutters and exterior windows together, based on stories and an approximate window count. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Booking the two jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the difference shows on the quote itself. Window washing and gutter work go on one quote.
On our jobs, four things move the number. A third story or a steep roof means the crew needs a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Oversized picture windows and window counts above what the house plan suggests add time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and a gutter guard has to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate step that cleaning alone will not remove, so we flag it before we quote.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared as one run, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. They are not billed as extras. Every downspout gets flushed until the water runs clear, because a clogged elbow is where the water damage starts, and the sills get wiped to remove dirt before the grime runs back onto the glass.
Across Minnesota, the houses we clean have a lot of trees around them, and a lot of runoff from the roof. That is why the number on the phone starts with stories and window count, and why we ask for a photo before we come. Once we see the house, we tell you what the job costs and what it does not include, and our washing services follow the same rule. Nothing gets added on the day, and nothing in this quote covers the windows inside the house. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately.
On a recent job in Savage, the house had a sprinkler line that hit the south-facing glass every morning. The gutters were clear, but the spotting on the window had built up over two seasons. We quoted the window with the spotting as a separate step and cleaned the rest in the same visit.

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 customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs the gutter elbows. In the fall the leaf load comes down in a wet mat that sags the runs over winter if it is not cleared first.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule. Needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those houses book three or four times a year instead of two. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is the other case that needs a third visit, because the spots come back the day after cleaning and only a mineral treatment removes them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust on the glass faster than a house on a quiet street.
A customer with no trees and no sprinkler problem usually needs two visits a year to stay ahead of the grime. A customer with a heavy tree line or a sprinkler spot on the glass usually needs three or four. Most of the work we do is in the first group, and the schedule follows what the house needs, not a fixed plan. The same logic applies to residential and commercial properties. Cleaning solutions only go on when purified water does not lift the film.
Windows tell you when they need it. Haze you only notice when the sun is low, a film on the picture windows that does not wipe off, and water that sheets over the gutter edge in rain are all signs that the cleanings are behind. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us what you see, and we will say whether it is a cleaning or a slope problem. Regular cleanings keep the glass from building up between seasons, so clean windows stay clear between visits.
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.
Booking starts with a short call or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we work out the window count and the gutter work before we book a time. The call takes about five minutes on the phone. To schedule service, call or text the same number. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen months and the fall leaf months, so the sooner you call, the sooner the crew can come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside, does not come inside, and calls before they come. We never show up without a call the day before, and we confirm the time again when the truck is on the way.
Our crews work with the same method on every house: gutters first, glass last, photos of every run, and the number on the phone matches the number on the invoice. Our residential window cleaning services and gutter work cover residential properties, and the same two-person crew handles both jobs. Clean gutters and clean glass also help the curb appeal of the house from the street.
Window cleaners who only do the glass usually miss the gutters, and gutter crews who only clear the runs leave the glass dusty. We do both in one visit, so the grime does not get back onto the clean glass, and clogged gutters do not sit over the windows and cause water damage behind the trim. Condos, commercial and multi-story buildings are scheduled per building, and we quote them the same way. Professional window cleaning done on the same visit as the gutters is the order we keep on every house. We clean every window on the outside of the house in that same visit.
Yes. The same crew handles both, gutters first and glass last, and we clean every window on the outside of the house so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
The number for a residential window job comes from stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the price before we come.
Clean windows inside still collect pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting on the outside glass, so the outside is worth booking even when the inside looks fine.
Most customers here book in spring and fall. Spring clears the pollen, and fall clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
Not if the gutters go first. Once the runs are clear and the wall has stopped dripping, the glass gets done last, so nothing lands on it afterward.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed separately.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move the cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
