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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Minnesota, most of the homes we service book this pairing in spring and fall, and the estimate you get is the number we charge.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and our window cleaning services are quoted as one job for the whole house. Booking gutters and exterior glass together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the washing services on the job and are not billed as extras, since the crew has to remove dirt from every one of those surfaces anyway.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons we can see from the ground. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A large residential window, or a house with a big glass count, adds time to the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers, or the grime that sets when runoff dries on the glass, is a separate treatment, and we tell you about it before the crew starts so it is never a surprise on the invoice. Condos and commercial buildings get quoted the same way, by stories and glass, once we see the property.
To get the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. Once a Shakopee customer had the back of a two-story house on a slope with a lot of runoff from the roof, and the flushing on the lower run took the crew most of the afternoon. That is the kind of detail we want to hear before we arrive, so the number holds when the truck pulls up.

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 Shakopee customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the elbows, and we use mild cleaning solutions on the frames so the pollen does not smear. Once the pollen is gone, clean windows show the difference right away in the low spring sun. The fall visit catches the leaf load and whatever the wind brought down over the season. Storm and wind seasons across Minnesota can move those dates, and residential and commercial jobs both get planned around the weather rather than the calendar alone.
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 or construction all tend to bring us back sooner. Regular cleanings, two a year, are the baseline for most homes, and a third visit is the exception. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and those are the reason we check the glass for mineral staining on the first visit rather than the second.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the sky. You will see when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 cleaning services cover Shakopee. Our window cleaners are a professional window cleaning crew, and they will look at a house in any part of town, with residential properties of every size handled the same way. Booking goes by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and a time window. Lead time is set by the calendar, so ask when you call to schedule service. Tell us about clogged gutters on that call, so the crew brings the right gear. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall stretches, and the calendar fills in those weeks first, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we keep the crew on the outside of the house, since clean glass and gutters are most of the curb appeal the street sees. We check every window on the outside of the house on arrival, not just the ones facing the street. For a business with several multi-story buildings we set up a single schedule that works through the properties in order, and the bill follows the building count. Clogged gutters that overflow for years can also cause water damage at the fascia, so the crew flags them on the visit.
Yes. Our window cleaners are the same two people who clean the gutters, and they do the gutters first so the glass is not dirtied again afterward.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house. Our window cleaning services are quoted from those details over the phone or by text.
On our jobs the outside of a residential window carries most of the grime here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass over the season, so the outside is where the work is. Clean windows on the outside make the biggest visible difference.
Most of our Shakopee residential properties book in spring and fall. Ask us to schedule service early in those months, since the calendar fills first. Across Minnesota the same two windows are the busy ones.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutter run washes down onto the windows we have just finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every window as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well.
We clean the outside of the glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing. If you want interior and exterior glass done together, ask for a separate quote, since that is a different job from 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, 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.
