The same two people who clean your gutters can clean the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again on the way out. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew has done this work on many Shoreview homes, and most of our customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings.
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 and gutter work are priced by stories and approximate window count, and 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 we charge, and it is set before the crew arrives. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front to get that number.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means the ladder work takes longer. A large window count or oversized picture windows add time to the glass, and heavy grime on the frames adds more. Gutters that have gone years without regular cleanings, packed with needles and leaves, take more hands than a run cleaned last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone, and we say so on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras. Our washing services cover the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass is quoted as separate work.
On one Shoreview job we priced a two-story house with a large count of windows and a run of gutters full of seed and grit, and the quote moved up because of the glass count and the cleaning time in the gutters. Your number comes from the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house sent by text, so we can give you the exact figure before the crew is booked.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Shoreview customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs over winter.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road means a third visit is worth it, and so do multi-story buildings, which take longer to set up. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day later, and they tell us the water is the problem, not the dirt. Windows need another cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Clogged gutters are the usual reason water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout, and left alone through a wet season they can lead to water damage at the fascia.
Our crew uses purified water on the glass rather than cleaning solutions, and the same routine works on residential and commercial glass. We do not clean windows inside the house, so the glass you see from inside stays as it is 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.
Our crew cleans the exterior glass and gutters on residential properties across Shoreview, and our cleaning services cover gutters and downspouts on the same visit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm your slot and the estimate together. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are when our calendar fills fastest, so book early if you want a spring or fall date. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not enter the house. We reach every window from the outside, with upper-story glass done from the pole rather than a ladder against the siding. If you want professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning on the same schedule, you can schedule service with one call and one visit.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so runoff does not dirty the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked. Townhouses and condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. We do not quote a figure without those details.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning a residential window from the outside helps remove dirt before it bonds to the glass, so the outside is the part most worth cleaning.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Those are the two windows when pollen and leaves build up in the gutters and on the glass.
No, because we work gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When they are cleared first, the grit runs off before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We do exterior glass only on residential properties, and we do not clean inside windows or do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
