Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single 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 Missouri, most of our jobs are booked for the spring and fall cleanings, when the leaf loads are heaviest on the house.
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 bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The residential window count is the first thing we ask for, and this quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior work is never folded into one number. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work from that.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time than a run that was cleared last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different problem: it sits in the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions and the purified water we bring are part of the quote, not a separate line.
Across Missouri, the houses we see most often need the same thing: a clear count of stories and windows before the crew arrives. Send a photo of the house front by text and tell us how many stories it has, and you will get the exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Window washing and washing services on the outside of the glass are priced the same way, and the window cleaning services we offer on this visit cover every pane we can reach from the ground or the pole. Residential properties with a lot of glass follow the same count, and windows inside the house stay out of this quote. Our crews ask about grime build-up, cleanings that were skipped, and any picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift, so the quote reflects the real house. Most regular cleanings on our jobs come in at the number we gave on the phone, because we measured it first.

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 calendar. Across Missouri the pattern is the same: the spring visit comes after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit comes after the last leaves have come down and before the first hard freeze. The same rhythm holds for residential and commercial buildings, since the seed and leaf drop hit both.
In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste of needles packed into the gutters. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, which holds water against the fascia until the next rain finds the low spot. That mat is where the runoff starts, so it is the first thing we clear. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we check the roofline before we book the slot.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit build up in the downspouts between cleanings, is the most common reason. Clogged gutters that sit through a wet spring can start water damage on the fascia before anyone sees it. A sprinkler line that hits the glass gives spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than the rest. Multi-story buildings need a longer setup on the ladder side, so those visits get booked early. For those, we suggest adding a cleaning in mid-summer so the glass and the gutters stay clear.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either one between visits, text a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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.
Booking with us starts with a quick estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before the crew is scheduled. Our window cleaners and gutter crews work the same route, so the visit is one trip. The gutters and downspouts get cleared before any glass is touched, so the order of work is settled before the crew climbs. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year the calendar fills, so book early for those months. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We clean the outside of the glass and the gutters on every window and every run we can safely reach. For a professional window cleaning on a house with a lot of glass, we bring the water-fed pole and the purified water and work the whole face of the house in one pass. The water-fed pole is what lets us remove dirt from high panes without a ladder. The cleaning services on this visit stop at the outside of the house. A sill that holds grime is wiped on the same pass, not left for later. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and the difference shows from the street.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm the slot. Ask for a written estimate if you want the number in writing before the date is set.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and debris coming off the roof do not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Condos and residential properties are quoted the same way. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number before the visit.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the most of it: tree sap, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that sit on the outer glass. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside still makes a visible difference on any residential window.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the spring tree drop and after the leaves come down. Book early for those months, because the calendar fills.
Not with our order of work. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. The runoff from the roof is the reason for that order.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. This visit is exterior only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing on it.
No, 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, 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.
