Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the rough window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our St. Peter jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the leaves and the dust are heaviest on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get a number before we come.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window and gutter cleaning is quoted this way on residential and commercial buildings, and regular cleanings are quoted the same way as a first visit. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing on the invoice later.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the boom or scissor lift. A house with many oversized panes, or picture windows that need a longer pole, takes longer on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a gutter that is only dusty. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something no cleaning removes, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Quotes for interior and exterior glass differ, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On a St. Peter job the pollen film on the glass and the sap and leaf paste in the gutters are usually heavier than the dust we see in the fall, so the first visit of the season tends to be the biggest one. A customer with a larger house and a lot of cleaning solutions to work through tells us the number on the phone was the number on the invoice, which is the only way we want it. To get the exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote from that before anyone climbs a ladder.

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.
On our St. Peter jobs most customers book both cleaning services twice a year. Across Minnesota the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in October to November, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. The timing is set by what we find on the glass and in the gutters, not by a calendar.
In the spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the tree paste packed into the downspout elbows are the first things we see. In the fall it is the leaf load, which turns into clogged gutters once it washes in with the first hard rain. Across Minnesota, severe storms and straight-line winds can move both dates, so we book from the house as it is that year.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings often do. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a gutter that overflows can cause water damage to the siding below it. A house near a busy road or a construction site takes more dust on the frames. We look at the house on the first visit and tell you which of these apply.
The sign windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running into the downspout. Professional window cleaning on that schedule also keeps curb appeal up, since clean glass is the first thing the street sees.
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 schedule service by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date and a window for the visit. Our typical lead time is set in the booking calendar, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
In the busy spring and fall windows our calendar fills first, so book early if the leaves are already heavy. We clean the outside of every window that can be reached from the ground or the boom or scissor lift, and we do not skip the upper stories.
We do window and gutter cleaning on residential properties, and the crew works the same way on every house. Each residential window gets the same exterior cleaning. Clean windows and clear gutters are the two halves of one visit, so the same booking covers both.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and the gutter work run on the same two-person crew, which cleans the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, so you book one date and get both done.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit. The bundle costs less than two separate trips.
Yes, because the outside collects grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits, and those are what most of our St. Peter windows come in with. Regular cleanings are the simplest way to remove dirt before it sets.
Most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall. Across Minnesota the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in October to November, after the leaves come down. Our calendar fills in those two windows.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. Once the gutters are cleared, the grit and black runoff has washed down before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. Our washing services do not include the inside of the glass, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home, and the same goes for the condos we clean, since exterior work does not need anyone inside. Turn the sprinklers off, move 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.
