Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing washed off the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Bellefontaine Neighbors customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328.
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 window washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The quote covers residential window cleaning and the gutters on the same house. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew sets the figure after taking those two measures, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Several things move the quote on the day we see the house. Multi-story buildings and a steep roof take more time on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the glass work. Cleaning solutions are chosen for each surface, since residential and commercial glass do not always need the same mix. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Each run of gutters and downspouts is cleared as one job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of it, not billed as extras.
On our Bellefontaine Neighbors jobs, the quotes that climb are the ones where the windows have not been cleaned in a long stretch, so the grime has built up on the glass. Sticking to regular cleanings keeps that from happening. Another common case is a house with picture windows that are hard to reach from the ground, which means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so this visit covers the exterior only. To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories. That gives the crew what it needs to quote the job before a visit.
| 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 Bellefontaine Neighbors customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Missouri the pattern holds, but the dates move with the weather and with the trees near each house.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass, and sticky tree residue packs into the gutters and downspouts. In fall the leaf load comes down and clogged gutters start to back up. Storm and wind seasons can push these visits earlier or later, so the crew checks the house on arrival rather than working to a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters filling, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass between visits. Those are the houses where we tell customers to plan for three or four cleanings a year, not two.
Watch for two signs. Haze on the glass that you only see when the sun is low means the windows are overdue. When runoff sheets over the edge of the gutter in rain, the runs need clearing, and the sooner the better, before water damage starts at the fascia.
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 has worked across Bellefontaine Neighbors, and we book professional window cleaning services and gutter work by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a quote. Quotes for residential properties and condos work the same way, by stories and window count. Lead time depends on the calendar, so call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will give you the first open date rather than promise a slot before we check it.
Two windows of the year fill our calendar fastest: the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you want a slot in those months, book early. Clean glass and clear gutters add to curb appeal, so those are the months most people call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew brings its own water and power, so the job runs without any help from the house. Whether it is one house or a few multi-story buildings, we give every window the same attention. That includes the sill and the frame, and we wipe both to remove dirt, so nothing is left on the wall or the glass when we pack up. Quotes come by phone or text, before anyone climbs a ladder.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a range here. Tell us the stories and the window count, along with the gutters and downspouts, and we will send the figure.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries the grit, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Interior glass is not part of this visit, so the outside is the part we clean.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, and the fall slots fill once the leaves start to drop. Across Missouri the same pattern holds. Call early for those months, because the calendar fills.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the runs is rinsed away before the windows are cleaned. Doing it the other way means someone has to remove dirt from the glass again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras. Tracks are part of the job when they can be reached safely from the outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. The windows inside are not part of it, and pressure washing is not either, so you do not need to plan for either.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
