Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Joplin jobs most customers book it for spring and fall, when leaves and grit 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.
Professional window cleaning and window washing are priced 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 number we give you 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.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes, such as picture windows, add time on the glass, and high window counts add more. The windows inside the house are not part of this price, since we clean exterior glass only. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are a separate line. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not something cleaning removes, and we will say so when we see it.
Here is a recent pattern from our Joplin work. One customer's quote went up after we found clogged gutters that had been left for several seasons and a row of windows with water damage from a leaking downspout. The crew photographed each run and the damage before any cleaning started, and the price was set from that count. To get your exact number, text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have.
| 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.
On our Joplin jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. At each spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and sticky paste in the gutters. At each fall visit we find the leaf load, and wind and storm seasons can shift the dates a little from one year to the next.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the outside windows. On these we suggest three or four regular cleanings a year, and we adjust after the first one.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 Joplin, and the estimate starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text that gives us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so it helps to schedule service before the spring and fall leaf drops peak. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Each residential window we can reach from outside gets washed to remove dirt, not just rinsed, and the crew cleans every window we can reach from outside.
We are the crew that does the washing services and the window cleaning services ourselves, not a dispatcher sending out subcontractors. The grime and the leaf and seed mats that build up in gutters and downspouts send runoff onto the walls below, so we clear the gutters before the glass. We serve residential and commercial customers, and our crew also cleans gutters and downspouts for commercial buildings, including condos, multi-unit sites and multi-story buildings, on a schedule that suits the property.
Yes. Our own crew does both in one visit, so you deal with one company and one invoice. We do the gutters first and the glass last.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front for an exact number.
Usually yes for the outside alone, because the outside collects pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean windows on the outside let more light through and show the curb appeal of the house properly. If you want interior and exterior glass done together, that is a different service from ours.
Most of our Joplin customers book once in the spring, after the bloom has settled, and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Those are the times we see the most buildup.
Not if the gutters are done first. When we clear a run, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so the glass goes last and nothing lands on panes we have already washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on exterior windows we can reach from outside, picture windows included.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing or interior window cleaning on these jobs. Where a pane needs more than water, the crew uses cleaning solutions and rinses them off before leaving.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
