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 approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Affton jobs, most customers book it in the spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up and the glass shows it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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. The same quote logic applies to residential and commercial buildings. Booking the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than two separate cleanings, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Interior and exterior glass are never bundled into one visit, so the quote covers the exterior only. Our washing services are quoted from the stories and window count, the same way every time. Ask for a written estimate and we will send one with the stories and window count it is based on.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or 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, and the glass is done with purified water instead of cleaning solutions.
The crew uses a boom or scissor lift on the taller houses and on multi-story buildings, and we photograph every run before we leave. Before we quote, we want to know whether the picture windows face the street or the back yard, because the glass on a picture window is larger and takes longer to rinse. Our Affton work has included a two-story house where a row of large panes on the back wall was the difference between a short visit and a long one. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we see from 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 Affton customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. What we find on the glass in the spring is the pollen film on south-facing windows and the pollen paste packed in the gutters, and professional window cleaning clears it before it dulls the curb appeal of the house. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs after the leaves drop.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction are the cases that need a third visit. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and they call for a different treatment than dirt. Houses with heavy tree cover tend to need the gutters checked more often, since debris that drops between visits builds into clogged gutters. Snow falls here from December through March, and when clogged gutters back up in that stretch, the runoff from melting snow runs under the eaves and causes water damage.
One customer on our Affton route has the gutters and glass done twice a year with no trees over the roof and no sprinkler problem, and the visits stay simple. Another has three or four visits a year because of the trees and the sprinkler spotting, and the crew adjusts the calendar to match. You can tell the windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Keep your gutters and glass on a regular schedule so the haze and the overflow never build up.
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 clean windows and gutters on residential properties across Affton, and the crew works the same route each season so we know the houses well. Plenty of homeowners look for window cleaners who also handle the gutters, and that is the job we do here. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will confirm the number and give you a date from our calendar, and the lead time depends on how full the route is that week.
The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and leaves are at their worst, so book early if you want a particular date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not clean the windows inside. We call before we come, and we call again when the crew is on the way, so you know when to expect us.
We keep the schedule service simple: one estimate, one visit for the residential window and gutter cleaning, and one set of photos afterward for every window and every run. If the house has a sill or a screen that needs attention, the crew notes it in the report. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or ask for a written estimate first.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts, then the outside of the windows, all in one visit, starting with the gutters and downspouts.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Condos are quoted the same way, from photos of the building. Ask us and we will send you a written estimate.
On our Affton jobs the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust, the sprinkler spots and the grime that builds up over a season, and the inside glass never sees any of it.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down.
Not with our order of work: gutters first, glass last, so the runoff is flushed out before we reach the windows and nothing is left to wipe twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we remove dirt from the frames at the same time; we do not bill them separately.
Our washing services cover exterior glass only on this visit: no interior cleaning and no pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
