Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Most of our St. Paul customers book it for spring and fall. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number on the phone.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number you pay. We set it by stories and approximate window count, and doing the gutter cleaning and the window cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. The window and gutter bundle is priced once for the whole house, not per trip. We quote residential and commercial buildings the same way, and single cleanings and regular cleanings follow the same count.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Multi-story buildings add time floor by floor. Oversized picture windows and many small panes add time at the glass. Grime on the sills and gutter lips takes longer to clean off. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a normal cleaning, and we will tell you that on the visit. Flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions, water and ladders are part of the quote too. This quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are quoted as two separate jobs if you want both.
For a St. Paul example, one house we cleaned had two stories, a steep front roof and a row of tall windows along the side. The gutters were full of leaves and grit, and two downspouts were blocked. Once the crew knew the stories and the window count, the quote was set and nothing changed on the day. You can read that job here: see this job. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote from that.
| 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. Paul customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In spring the glass collects pollen film on the south-facing side, and the gutters fill with pollen paste. In fall the leaves come down and make a wet mat in the gutters. Those two visits keep curb appeal up and cover most houses in St. Paul.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Clogged gutters that overflow near the foundation can lead to water damage, so those houses get the gutter check too. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust and grime on the glass. Our window cleaners see these cases often, and multi-story buildings and houses with heavy tree cover are the ones we usually schedule for three or four visits a year instead of two.
You will notice when the windows need it. Haze shows up on the glass when the sun is low, and you can see it most in the evening. The gutters tell you too: if water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout, the gutters need clearing, and the runoff lands on the wall. Professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning on the same schedule keeps both from building up into more work than they need to be.
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 with us starts with a short estimate for clean windows and gutters by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and calls before they come.
The busy months are spring and fall, when the leaf and grit loads are at their peak. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the sooner you call, the better your chance of an early slot. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book.
We clean residential properties across St. Paul, and we work on residential window and gutter cleaning for single-family homes and small multi-unit buildings. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We will reply with a written estimate and a date. Every window on the outside of the house is included, and each sill is wiped as part of the job.
Yes, the same two people do both on houses and condos alike. Our window cleaning services and gutter work happen in one visit: we clear the gutters and downspouts first, then the glass, so the work does not have to be repeated.
Our cleaning services are priced from stories and window count, and we give the number by phone or text. There is no fixed figure we can give you here, because the size and condition of the house decide it.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the dirt. Film, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on exterior glass, and washing windows inside does not remove dirt from the outside.
Most of our customers book in spring and in fall. Spring clears the winter grime off the glass, and fall clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and black water are gone, and the glass is cleaned only after the runoff has stopped dripping down the wall.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services. Tracks are included on the exterior side as well, so there are no extra line items.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing.
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.
