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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, once the seed drop, pollen and leaves have settled. Call (866) 435-6328 for your number.
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 quote is the number we charge, and it comes from your stories and an approximate window count. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the bundle figure is shown on your estimate. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will give you the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized panes, such as picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What we find on the day tends to be the real cost driver. A house with clogged gutters and years of grime on the glass takes longer than the same house cleaned on schedule, and a run that has been sitting with water damage in the fascia is photographed and reported to you rather than hidden in the number. Customers who ask for professional window cleaning on a regular cycle usually see the quote come down over time, since the second visit goes faster than the first. Our crew handles the windows on multi-story buildings the same way it handles a two-story house, with the boom or scissor lift called in only when the ladder cannot reach safely. For window washing, window cleaners and curb appeal questions, the first step is still the same: a count of stories and a photo.
Windows inside are not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on it. The quote covers the exterior glass and the gutters only. Cleaning solutions for the glass are included, and residential properties are priced by stories and glass the same way for every house. We price interior and exterior work as separate jobs.
We cannot give a single price for every Willmar house, because the stories and the glass differ from one lot to the next. What we can do is tell you exactly what a house like yours needs, and put it in writing before the crew arrives.
| 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 |

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 customers here book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the season. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters, and in fall the leaf load is what fills the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates by a few weeks, so we confirm the slot a week ahead.
Under heavy tree cover, with big trees over the roof, a house is often on a cycle of every three or four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A house with few or no trees usually needs only the fall visit. Our crew checks the gutters and the glass at each visit and tells you which cycle your lot is actually on.
Two cases need a third visit as we see them. One is a sprinkler line hitting the glass, which leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. The other is a house near a busy road or a construction site, where the glass collects grime faster than the calendar suggests. Either way, a residential window that sits on a sprinkler line or a busy road is on a shorter cycle, and we say so on the first visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a line of dust along the sill. Check every window on the south side first, since that is where the haze shows. Customers on a regular cycle get regular cleanings at the same time each year, so keeping clean windows is simpler than catching up. Gutters tell you too, with water sheeting over the edge in rain, and when you see either one, call to schedule service.
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 cleans gutters and exterior glass around Willmar on a regular schedule, and the neighborhoods we have worked are the ones we list when you call. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf fall, and that is when our calendar fills and lead times stretch. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot you can plan around. Our crew works through the washing services and window cleaning services we offer on schedule, so a regular booking keeps the cycle steady.
On each visit we clear the grime and the runoff that comes down the wall, and we remove dirt from the frames and sills as part of the same job. Our cleanings follow the same order of work every time, and gutters and downspouts are checked from the roof and from the ground, with any damage reported in writing. Condos and small multi-unit buildings are scheduled the same way, one building at a time.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the runs does not land on clean glass. Whether your building is residential and commercial or only one of the two, the same order of work applies, and we confirm the scope for yours when you call.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house. Send a photo of the front and we can give you the exact figure before the visit.
On a Willmar house the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime is. The interior and exterior are two separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, once the pollen and leaves have come down. The slots fill in those windows, so an early booking helps.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last, so the runs are cleared and flushed before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
No. This visit is exterior only, so windows inside and pressure washing are not part of it.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
