The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Missouri, most of our customers book the pair each spring and fall, and the crew that does the work is the crew you will see on the ladder.
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 our window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundle booked in one visit costs less than the two jobs booked separately. Window washing on a two-story house is quoted off the same count, and our washing services follow the same rule. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the crew settles the final figure from the stories and window count you give us.
On the day, the crew finds the things that move a quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means the work is done from a boom or scissor lift, which adds setup time. A high count of oversized panes takes longer than a house with small windows. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more buckets. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed by the foot. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it before we quote the mineral treatment.
Across our Festus jobs, the most useful thing you can send us is a photo of the front of the house and a count of stories. We look at the roofline, the number of runs, and the glass, and we give you a written estimate that matches what we find. Downspouts that discharge onto a walkway or a driveway get noted in the report, and we do not sell anything beyond the cleaning. Windows and gutters both carry grime and runoff that build up between visits, and the bundle price assumes one crew clears the gutters and downspouts and the glass in the same pass, and can remove dirt from both on the same trip. Condos are counted the same way, by story and window. Bring us the window count and the story count, and we will tell you what the visit will cost.
| 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 Festus customers book the pair twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Missouri the pattern holds: the spring visit follows the tree bloom, and the fall visit follows the leaf drop. At the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and seed paste in the gutters. At the fall visit we find the leaf load and the wet mat it makes in the runs. The crew uses purified water on the glass and skips cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to dry as a film. Storm and wind seasons move the dates by a few weeks in either direction.
Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof, houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and houses near a busy road or a construction site usually need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and the grime near a road shows up on the sills faster than on a quiet street. Picture windows show both first, because one large flat pane reflects every spot on it.
Our crew books the window and gutter visit on the same schedule, and most customers keep it on regular cleanings rather than waiting for a problem. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the spring or fall date with you. A simple sign tells you the glass needs it: a haze you only see when the sun is low. For the gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so this visit covers the exterior only.
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 crews clean residential properties and take residential and commercial cleaning services across the city, and the window cleaners on the job are the same two people who clear the gutters above them. Multi-story buildings are quoted by story count, the same way as a house. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you send the photo, the sooner we can fix a day. Clean glass and clear runs do a lot for curb appeal.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we keep to the arrival window we give you. We do professional window cleaning on the outside of the glass, and we clean every window on the outside of the house in the same visit, so the bundle covers the full job.
We do not clean windows inside, and we do not pressure wash. Those are separate services that we do not offer on this visit. Our crew is careful around clogged gutters and overflowing runs, and where water damage shows at a fascia or a sill, we photograph it and report it, we do not sell a repair.
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 gutters lands on clean glass.
We give you the number by phone or text, from the stories and the size of the house. It is the number on the invoice. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it.
On a residential window in Festus the outside carries the tree film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what dull the glass. Cleaning the inside does not remove them, so the outside is the part we clean.
Most of our Festus customers book in spring after the pollen drop and in fall after the leaves come down. Across Missouri the spring and fall visits are the usual pattern, and to schedule service we set the date with you by phone.
Not if we do it in the right order. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before anyone washes the windows, and the glass stays clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on the same visit. None of it is billed as an extra line.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not pressure wash.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
