The same two people who clean your gutters can clean 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 two separate trips. Across Missouri, most of the houses we clean get the gutters and glass done together in spring and fall, which is when pollen and falling leaves build up the most.
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 every job by stories and approximate window count, residential and commercial alike, and the bundle costs less in one visit than two separate jobs booked apart. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and a saving from bundling is shown as a program field on your quote rather than a percentage here. The quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the number: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count with oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles, leaves and pollen, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes how long the job takes, so each one is accounted for before the crew starts. A house on a schedule of regular cleanings takes less time per visit than a first visit, because the gutters are not packed. We use cleaning solutions only on frames and grime that water will not lift, and they are part of the price.
Getting an exact number is simple. Tell us how many stories the house has, give us your window count, and attach a snapshot of the front. Call (866) 435-6328 or send it by text, and we will come back with a quote. Ask for one window and gutter quote on the same call. On our Arnold jobs, the window count is usually the piece people underestimate, so count the panes on the back and side as well as the front.
| 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 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Arnold customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In spring the gutters hold seeds and tree dust, and the glass carries a pollen film that shows most on south-facing windows. In fall the gutters fill with wet leaves, and the leaf load is what sags hangers over winter. Plan around those two loads. A professional window cleaning is done after the gutters, so the glass is not dirtied again. Window cleaners who only do the glass often leave the gutters for a second trip, and one crew doing both avoids it.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. A heavy wind or a severe storm can strip leaves early, and after a bad storm the gutters often need a second look. Under heavy tree cover, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, a house may need more visits in a year than the usual two. Left clogged gutters through a wet spring back water up under the edge, which is how water damage starts at the fascia. Our cleaning services take longer on multi-story buildings, and a third story is priced into the quote. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is the other common reason for a third visit, because the spots it leaves come back a day after cleaning.
A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and more runoff in the gutters, so those houses tend to come back sooner than a quiet street. Set your schedule by what you see, and call us when you are not sure.
Windows need cleaning again when you start to see haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters keep the curb appeal of the house up between visits. Our crew checks both on the first visit and tells you what the house needs. Haze on the windows inside is a separate job, so this visit does not cover it.
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 across Arnold and most of the surrounding area in Missouri, and we book the exterior window and gutter cleaning job in the order calls come in. The estimate starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a day and a two-hour window. Every residential window is counted during the estimate, so the confirmed day matches the job. Lead times depend on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, the calendar fills faster, so book early if you can.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew never comes inside. We call before we arrive, we work outside, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before we leave. A house with clean windows and clear gutters holds its curb appeal through the season, and a schedule service that starts with one estimate keeps every window and every run on the same plan. Our cleaning services work the same way on every visit.
Homeowners and property managers both book with us, and we handle residential properties with the same crew and the same order of work. If you are comparing window cleaners, check that the quote covers both the glass and the gutters in one visit. Ask for the full window and gutter cleaning when you book, and the quote will list each window, its sill, and each run.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder for both. We do gutters first and glass last, so the wall and the sills are not dirtied again after the glass is done.
Our window cleaning services are priced from stories and window count, not a fixed figure. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the job by phone or text before we book it.
Usually yes, because the outside carries tree dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots, which all sit on the glass from the outside. Our crew can remove dirt from the outside of the glass, along with the grime that rain leaves behind, but interior glass is a separate job that we do not do on this visit.
Across Missouri, the spring visit usually lands late May to June, and our fall visits usually land late October to November. Those are the windows of time when tree debris and leaves build up most, and booking early keeps the crew on your schedule.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters is rinsed off before the glass is done. Running the job in the other order is how dirt ends up on clean windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside, and the same applies to condos and single-family houses.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and our washing services do not include interior windows or pressure washing. If you need either, we will tell you what it would take when you call.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
