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 jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this for many Vadnais Heights homeowners each spring and fall, and across Minnesota it is the same routine on every house.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and when both are done in one visit the bundle costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing later.
On the day, the crew sees what moves a quote. A steep roof or a third story takes longer to reach safely. Oversized picture windows and a high count of small panes add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more passes to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a homeowner with a larger house, the cost of window washing and washing services often comes down to how many regular cleanings a year you want, since a steady schedule keeps the grime from building up and helps remove dirt before it sets on the glass. Some owners ask for interior and exterior glass in one quote. We only price the exterior, so the window cleaning services on your estimate cover the outside of the house. Our crew can talk through that with you on the estimate call. If you want to sort out the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and window count, and we will come back with a written estimate before we book a date. For a quote on the phone, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through the numbers with you.

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.
Across Minnesota, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew and one visit makes sense for the outside of the house.
In the spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing our crew sees, and the pollen paste sits in the gutters and at the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall, the leaf load is what we find, a wet mat in the gutters that holds water against the fascia and can cause water damage if it is left through winter. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we check the forecast before we set a day. Windows inside may look clean while the outside still carries a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that is usually grime from the outside, which is why the exterior visit matters.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves the spots that come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction all tend to build up faster than the two-visit schedule covers. Clogged gutters tell you they need attention when runoff sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Our window cleaning schedule and our gutter cleaning schedule usually line up on the same visit, so one booking covers both.
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 works across Vadnais Heights, and we keep the calendar full in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Book early in those months so you get the date you want, and we call before we come so you know the crew is on the way.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. Our window cleaners will reply with a written estimate, and once you accept we set a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. We serve residential and commercial clients. For residential properties the process is the same for a single house, a duplex or condos, and commercial sites and multi-story buildings are scheduled by building.
Our cleaning services cover the gutters, the outside glass, screens and sills in one visit. We bring professional window cleaning equipment to every job, including the boom or scissor lift needed for a residential window on a third floor. We rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without streaks. Each visit is a clean sweep of the outside, so every window and every sill gets the same attention. If you want a schedule service that keeps your curb appeal steady through the year, tell us on the estimate call and we will set up the next visit before the crew leaves.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not land on the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before any work is booked.
For most homes and condos here, yes, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside of every residential window and never reach the inside glass.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. At other times of the year the calendar is open, but the two busy windows fill first.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so runoff from the roof rinses away before the crew touches the finished windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped to remove dirt, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and none of them is billed separately.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
