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 washes 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. Across Missouri, most of our customers book this work in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. On a combined visit, window washing and gutter work come off one estimate, so you get one number covering our washing services and our window cleaning services.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings add time at every level. A high number of windows, or oversized picture windows, adds time per pane. A house with clogged gutters, the ones packed with needles and leaves after years without cleaning, takes longer to clear, and a blocked run is where water damage usually starts at the fascia. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by regular cleanings, so we flag it on the visit. The quote covers exterior glass only, so any interior and exterior work is a separate job. Gutters and downspouts are cleaned as one run, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a Nixa customer, the cleaner way to get an exact number is to send us a photo of the front of the house by text, with the stories and a rough window count. We do not guess from the street. Regular cleanings keep the job quicker, because the grime builds up slowly between visits. Once a house is on a schedule, the work is less about dirt removal and more about keeping up, and that is where a bundled visit pays off over the year.

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.
Across Missouri, most customers book both twice a year, in the late May or June visit and the late October or November visit, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The order of work does not change between residential and commercial buildings, so the timing holds for both. On our jobs the spring visit comes after the pollen film settles on south-facing glass, and the fall visit comes after the leaves drop.
In spring, a sticky layer sits in the gutters and on the outside of the glass. Plain water handles most of it, and cleaning solutions are kept for the spots water alone will not lift. In fall, it is the wet leaf load that matters, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under ice by late winter. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we keep the calendar flexible rather than fixed.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits, and clogged gutters on a house with trees can call for an extra trip. Multi-story buildings catch more wind-blown grit on the top floor, and a house on a busy road or near construction collects more grit on the glass. A sprinkler line that hits the windows leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look, not a second cleaning. You will know the glass needs attention when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain.
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 have cleaned windows and gutters across Nixa, and we cover the city as a whole. Booking with us starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. For professional window cleaning and gutter work, we ask the same few questions every time so the number you hear is the number you pay.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when leaves and spring rain are heaviest. If you are planning around those months, call (866) 435-6328 early and we will schedule service around your timing. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every pane before the crew leaves, so you can see exactly which cleaning services we provided, including the sill and frame work and every window on the house.
Our window cleaners work from the outside only on this visit. We keep the work exterior so the timing and the price stay simple for you, and windows inside the house are not part of the quote. The outside of the glass gets the attention it needs.
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 the dirty runoff does not land on clean panes, which is the simplest way to remove dirt from both.
We do not quote a figure without the details. Residential properties are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the number.
On our Nixa jobs, the outside carries most of what dulls the glass: spring dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. The inside can stay as it is, but the outside still needs the cleaning to look right and to protect your curb appeal.
Across Missouri, most customers book in late May or June and again in late October or November. Those visits come after the spring growth and after the leaves drop, which is when the work pays off most.
No, because we clear gutters and downspouts first and clean the glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed first, the water that comes off the wall has settled before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. We do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and every residential window on the house gets the same screen and sill check.
Not on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of the quote, and we clean the outside only. We do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in a condo, check with the association about who owns the gutters before you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
