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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Minnesota, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, when the gutters and glass have collected the most grime from the season.
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 window and gutter bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and the starting prices are only where the quote begins. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and cleaning solutions are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This quote covers the outside only, and we do not price interior and exterior glass together. When you call, say whether the building is residential or commercial, since the quote for residential and commercial work starts from different details.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on a ladder, and oversized or picture windows take longer per pane. Heavy grime on the glass adds time too. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take the longest to clear, and regular cleanings keep a visit shorter. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone does not remove. Tell us the stories and a rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text so we can see what we are working with.
On our Worthington jobs the quote follows the same logic every time. Stories, window count and the state of the gutters decide the number, and we show the crew's findings in photos before anything is billed. If you want a written estimate with the exact number, ask for it and we will send it.

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 in Worthington book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. What we find at each visit is consistent. The pollen film on south-facing glass and the grit packed in the gutters show up in the spring, and the leaf load builds up in the fall. Our cleaning services follow that pattern, and professional window cleaning is timed to the same two seasons, which is when the window cleaners on our crew are busiest. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar alone. The spring visit also keeps curb appeal up when the glass is at its worst.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, and clogged gutters left that way can lead to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or an active construction site collects dust faster than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings take more ladder time, so they need the same check. On our jobs those are the cases where the calendar gets tighter.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. Either sign is enough reason to call us. That haze usually sits on the outside glass rather than the windows inside, so that is where the crew starts. We do not set a schedule from a distance; we look at the roofline and tell you what it needs.
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 offer window and gutter cleaning across Worthington for residential properties, and the crew handles every window on the outside of the house during the same visit. A residential window gets the same care as the rest, and nothing needs a second trip. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you an estimate and a date. Most of the time we can find an open slot without a long wait, but the busy weeks in spring and fall fill up first, so it is worth calling early in those windows.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, we work outside, and every sill gets wiped. We send photos of the finished gutters and the clean windows before the crew leaves. If something cannot be reached safely from the ground or the ladder, we photograph it and tell you rather than guessing. That approach keeps the job on schedule and the results easy to check.
Yes, the same two-person crew handles both, and the washing services for gutters and windows go on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the windows last so the runoff from the gutters does not land on clean glass.
Window cleaning services and gutter work are quoted together, so the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count, so tell us the building details when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will give you a written quote.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: rain dust, grit and sprinkler spots build up on the glass first. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt that rain has left on the glass, and the view stays clear even when the inside looks fine.
Across Minnesota our customers book in spring and fall. The spring visit clears the pollen, and the fall visit clears the leaves before winter.
Not if the order is right. The gutters and downspouts get cleared and flushed first, and the crew waits for the wall to stop dripping before touching the windows. That is why we do the glass last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and we will tell you on the phone if anything needs separate attention.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
