Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across Missouri, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, and it is the calendar we run our crew on. Tell us your stories and an approximate window count, and call (866) 435-6328 for your number.
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.
The direct answer is simple: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and one visit that covers professional window cleaning and gutter work costs less than booking two separate trips. 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 actually moves a quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it adds time. Window washing on oversized picture windows and tall multi-story buildings takes more setup. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, take longer to clear than a run we saw last spring. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the trough. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is stained into the glass, and no cleaning removes it; that needs a separate treatment, and we flag it on the phone before we come. We do not clean the windows inside the house, so that is never part of the quote.
On a recent job with a neighborhood client, the quote moved because of the number of windows on the back of the house and a run of clogged gutters that had gone a full season without service. Our crew noted what it found, sent photos before we left, and the invoice matched the number we gave. To get your number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have. Clean glass and clear gutters protect curb appeal, and water damage from overflowing gutters is the thing we would rather catch before it reaches the trim.

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 in Kirkwood book both gutters and windows in the spring and again in the fall, so one crew in one visit each time makes the most sense. Across Missouri, the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs November to early December. What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring, pollen film sits on every window that faces the sun and packs into the gutters as a paste, so the downspout elbows are the first place we look. In the fall, the leaf load comes down wet and matted, and on residential properties that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that sagged under the weight of the season. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the buildup from setting.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than the rest of the block. Those are the cases where we suggest you schedule service more often, and we say so after the first visit once we have seen the lot.
Two sign checks tell you when to call us between visits. Haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low is a sign the windows need clean windows again. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during a rain is a sign the trough is full. Either way, a photo sent by text is enough for us to tell you what we see.
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 run our crew across Kirkwood and book slots through the same phone line. You get an estimate by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Booking a date is quick outside the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills with the spring pollen and fall leaf jobs, so the earlier you call, the more choice you have.
Our crew provides professional window cleaning services and gutters and downspouts work for residential properties in Kirkwood. The same crew takes on washing services for residential and commercial buildings that need a scheduled exterior clean. We work the clean windows and the trough together so the runoff from the gutters never reaches the glass, and we remove dirt and grime from the sill and frame on the same visit. Condos and multi-unit buildings are scheduled per building, one crew, one date.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the gutter water never runs onto a window we have just finished.
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 figure without seeing the stories and window count.
Often yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up between visits. Regular cleanings keep those marks from setting into the glass, and they are the marks that dull it even when the inside is kept clean.
Most of our Kirkwood customers book in the spring and in the fall. Booking before the pollen or leaf load peaks gives you more choice of date.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared and flushed first, the water has finished running before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the visit as part of the window cleaning services.
Exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are two different jobs for us, so we do not clean the windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of this visit. The outside of the windows and the gutters is what we cover, using our own cleaning solutions.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
