Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it 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 this in spring and fall, which is why we built the visit around those two calendars.
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 the job 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 number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so there is nothing added on the day.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs that need the boom or scissor lift, window count and 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. Our washing services price gutters and downspouts as one run, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping come with the visit at no added charge.
A photo of the front of the house, sent by text, plus your story count and a rough window count is enough for us to give you a number. Our window and gutter cleaning crew can usually give you the number from that. Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass on one quote, but this visit covers exterior gutters and exterior windows only, with no interior glass and no pressure washing. A cleaning on the front of a house with a window and gutter layout that is heavy with picture windows takes more time than a standard layout, and that shows up in the number. Residential and commercial jobs are both on our schedule, and the same crew handles the residential ones. For a home that has had regular cleanings, the visit is usually faster, because there is less grime on the glass and less debris in the runs. Cleaning solutions are chosen per job, and the crew tells you which one is going on the glass.
One Gladstone job from our book shows how this works. The quote for that home moved with the number of stories and the number of windows on the back of the house, and the crew found the gutters packed enough that the flush took longer than planned. The customer got the same number on the invoice that we gave on the phone, with the photos of each run sent before the crew left.

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.
Statewide, the pollen comes down in late May to June and the leaves drop by November to early December, and most of our Gladstone customers book both windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Missouri, the same two windows hold for most houses, and clean gutters and glass do the most for curb appeal, so the schedule follows the calendar rather than the house.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load, a wet mat that sits in the runs through the first hard freeze. Clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia, and when a clogged run backs up, the runoff finds the siding below it. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a few weeks in either direction, and a hard storm is the reason we call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Those are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road or construction. Multi-story buildings are the other group, since the upper glass is out of reach from the ground. Our window cleaners see those houses come back sooner than the rest, and we schedule them that way on the calendar.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either one, the crew can look at it on the next visit.
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 residential properties across the city, and our window cleaning services run on the same visit as the gutters. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate from that. Lead time depends on the season and how full the calendar is, and we tell you the next open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are late May to June and November to early December, when the calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months if you want a specific slot. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when the crew is on the way.
Professional window cleaning on a residential window layout means the crew cleans every window on the outside and wipes each sill, so the glass and the frame come out even. Our residential window work covers the front, the sides and the back of the house, and we can clean windows on the upper floors from the boom or scissor lift.
Yes. The same two people run our cleaning services for the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and gutters always come first.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text a photo of the front and your story count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime sits. Cleaning the outside does more to remove dirt from the view than the inside does.
Most of our customers here book in late May to June or in November to early December. Across Missouri, those are the two windows we see most often, and condos follow the same calendar as houses.
No. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the runs has already stopped before we touch a pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Our washing services cover the outside only, and nothing is added to the quote for them.
The crew does no work on windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. It is exterior glass only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
