Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our Lake St. Louis customers mostly book this in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. Clearing gutters and downspouts is part of the same quote. Our window cleaning services are priced for the exterior only, since interior and exterior glass are not one job here. The number we quote on the phone or by text is the number we charge, with nothing added at the door. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Call (866) 435-6328 for your number.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it changes the equipment and the time. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows that take longer to reach and clean evenly. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer than a light run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a separate problem, and no regular cleaning removes it.
Most of the window washing services we book here are for homes that have simply gone a long time without regular cleanings. Grime builds up slowly on the outside, and it is easier to handle on a regular schedule than after it has baked on for a season. Our crew can give you an accurate number from a few facts: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. For the bundle, that is the whole estimate.
| 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 Lake St. Louis customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Missouri the pattern is the same: the spring visit comes after the seed and pollen drop, and the fall visit comes after the leaves have come down.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a damp mat of spring debris packed into the gutters. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters most, along with the grit that rides in on it. A film like that comes off with cleaning solutions on the glass, and the rinse is there to remove dirt from the frame and sill, not just the pane. Where the house sits under heavy tree cover, or where a sprinkler line throws water against the glass, the window and gutter work needs a third visit, because that is where clogged gutters and spotting come back between seasons. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more, and so do multi-story buildings with long runs of glass. The order of work is the same on residential and commercial buildings, and on condos with a long gutter run above a row of windows.
If you want to know when a visit is due without calling us, look at two things. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low means the windows need attention. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter during rain means the gutters are holding more than they should, and that is often the first sign of water damage behind the fascia.
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 crew works across Lake St. Louis, and most of the residential properties we clean are single-family houses. Most of our cleaning services here are booked as one visit, since the gutter and window work can be finished in one morning. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we send back the estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, fill the calendar faster than the rest of the year. Call early if you want a particular week.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners work from the outside only, so you do not need to plan around the inside of the house. Each residential window on the outside gets the same rinse, and every window that can be reached safely from the ladder or pole gets done. If a slot is tight, we will tell you the first date we have rather than promise a day we cannot hold, and we keep the schedule service consistent so the same crew returns to your house each visit.
Professional window cleaning and gutter work done in the same visit keeps the job tidy for the homeowner, with the ladders moved once and the glass cleaned after the gutters are finished. Booking both jobs together as one visit also keeps the curb appeal up without a second set of ladders on the lawn. That is how we want every visit to go, whether it is a single-story ranch or a larger home with more glass to clean.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people in the same visit. Gutters and downspouts are done first and the glass last, so the debris from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
The number depends on stories and size, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not guess from a distance, and the figure you get is the figure you pay.
On residential properties here, the outside carries tree film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so the outside is where most of the dirt sits. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that film on the glass.
Our customers here most often book in late spring and late fall. Across Missouri the spring and fall visits follow the seed drop and the leaf drop.
Not when we run the job, because the gutters go first and the glass last. The reason is simple: runoff from a gutter runs down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the job, so none of them is a separate charge.
On this visit we clean the outside only, and the windows inside are not part of the job or the price. Pressure washing is not part of this service either.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway, 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.
