Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so gutter runoff does not land on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our St. Cloud customers book it in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves 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.
We price gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Residential and commercial buildings use the same rule. Booking both in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, a few things change the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more equipment, and multi-story buildings in general need more ladder and pole work. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with grime, needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutters on a schedule of regular cleanings are quicker to clear than ones left for years. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with standard cleaning solutions, and we will tell you if it needs a separate treatment. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent St. Cloud job, the quote moved because the house had tall windows on two sides and a back run of gutter that had gone years without a visit. The crew photographed each run before and after and sent the photos before leaving. For a number you can rely on, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have.
| 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 St. Cloud customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit makes that simple. Across Minnesota the same spring and fall rhythm holds, but the exact timing depends on how the season runs.
Each visit finds something different. In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and forms a paste in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load is what matters, and clogged gutters pack the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road all leave more residue between cleanings. Professional window cleaning on these houses runs on a tighter schedule because the buildup is faster.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain, because a run that overflows for long enough can lead to water damage at the fascia.
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.
We offer residential window cleaning services across the St. Cloud area for residential properties, and we book window and gutter cleaning on the schedule you need. To start, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will send an estimate. Typical lead time depends on the season, and during the busy spring and fall windows our calendar fills first, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We do not come inside, and we call before we arrive. The goal is clean windows, clear gutters, and a visit that does not leave a mess at the door or the sill.
When you schedule service, tell us about any sill or frame that needs extra attention, and we will note it on the estimate. We check every window on the house before we send the estimate. We will also tell you if a window is hard to reach safely, and what we can do about it.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning are done in one visit by the same two people on the ladder. We do the gutters first and the glass last so nothing washes back onto clean panes.
We do not quote a figure without the details. The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. Condos are quoted the same way. The number we quote is the number we charge.
On St. Cloud houses the outside carries pollen, dust, and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the outside removes dirt that rain leaves behind, and it keeps the glass clear in the seasons when the sun shows that haze most, which also helps curb appeal.
Most of our customers here book in spring, after the pollen drop, and again in fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two busy windows, so booking early keeps your slot.
No, because we clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last. The leaves and grit wash down the wall, so doing the glass after the gutters means it stays clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we will flag anything that needs more work before we start.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside are not part of it. Pressure washing is not part of our washing services, and if you want interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate visit we are happy to schedule.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked so we can reach the back.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
