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 the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew does this work across Minnesota, and most of our Waconia customers book it in spring and fall.
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 washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing gutters and windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are predictable. Steep roofs and a third story take more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years come out heavier, packed with needles and leaves, and clogged gutters always cost more to clear than gutters on a regular schedule. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Window washing is the same work on every house: purified water instead of cleaning solutions, a pole, and a dry finish that leaves clean windows without streaks. Our window cleaners work from the outside and clean every window they can reach safely. We do not do windows inside on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. A professional window cleaning visit on a Waconia house is usually about the curb appeal of the front and the back, and the front of the house is the first thing we photograph. Water damage from a clogged run often shows up on the siding and fascia before anyone notices the gutter, which is one reason we clear the gutters before we start on the glass.
For a multi-story house, the most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front and the number of stories. Tell us about any residential window you want us to skip, and we will confirm the count in writing before we book the slot.

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 Waconia jobs, most customers book regular cleanings twice a year, in spring and 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 downspout elbows. Fall is when the leaf load is heaviest and the wet mat sits in the gutters into the first freeze.
What we find on the glass in spring is a fine yellow film on the south and west panes, and it is often worse on the picture windows that catch the afternoon sun. In the gutters we find a sticky paste of seeds, and it has to be flushed and flow-tested before the first rain of the season. In fall the gutters carry a wet leaf mat that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move these dates, and after a hard blow we will often come out sooner than planned.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a schedule adjustment, not another wash. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film that a regular cleaning schedule does not keep up with.
Between cleanings, you will know windows need attention when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know gutters need clearing when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 window cleaning services cover Waconia and the homes around it, for residential and commercial clients, and we book slots as they open on our calendar. To schedule service, call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we send a written estimate before the visit. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date on the phone.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall stretches when the seeds and the leaves come down, and our calendar fills faster then. Book early in those months if you want a specific day. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
We clean residential properties and commercial sites on a per-building schedule, including condos and multi-story buildings, and the crew handles the grime and runoff at each one the same way. Gutters and downspouts get cleared before the glass, and we remove dirt from the frame and sill before we leave.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows in one visit, so you book one appointment and pay one bill.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate.
On a Waconia house the outside carries a yellow film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up even when the inside stays clean. Outside glass is what the crew cleans on this visit, using purified water and no cleaning solutions.
Most of our Waconia customers book in spring and again in fall, usually October to early November, after the leaves come down. Our crew can give you the exact dates on the phone.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are flushed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and none of it is billed as an extra. We clear the frame and sill before we leave.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. Our work is exterior glass only, and we will tell you if anything else needs attention.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked, and the crew will do the rest.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
