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 onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Spanish Lake customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote today.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booked together in one visit, window cleaning services and gutter work come in less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. The same two facts set the price for any of our washing services. Give us the stories and a count of the windows you want done, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the job runs.
On the day, the crew looks at a few things that move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. Window count matters for window washing, and so do oversized panes and picture windows, which take longer to reach and to rinse evenly. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with grime, needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned under them. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is one more thing: washing will remove dirt, but it will not touch the mineral marks, so we flag them rather than promise them away. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is one example from our Spanish Lake work. A two-story house with a large front window, a run of gutters that had gone a long time without a clean, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass on one side was quoted on those three facts, not on a guess at the size of the lot. The gutters came down full of grime and runoff from the roof, the downspouts had to be flushed until the water ran clear, and the spotting on the sprinkler side was flagged as something a cleaning alone would not remove. The owner got the number on the phone and the same number on the invoice. That is the whole method: stories, window count, and what the gutters look like when we open them.
If you want an exact number, the fastest route is the phone or a text. Tell us the stories, roughly how many windows, and send a photo of the front of the house so we can see the roofline and the glass. We will tell you what it runs and what we will check when we get there.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

| 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 Spanish Lake customers book both cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing the gutters and the glass in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across Missouri, spring visits fall in late May into June, after the seed and pollen drop has settled. In that visit, pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and a sticky paste packs the gutters and the downspout elbows. Fall visits run from November into early December, when the leaves are down and the wet mat sits in the troughs before the hard freezes start.
Each visit tells us something about the house. In spring, the film on the glass is the first thing we see on the outside, and it smears under a squeegee if the window was not rinsed first. In fall, the leaf load in the gutters is the main job, and it is where we see whether a run is holding water that will freeze. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little in either direction, so we book off the forecast and the calendar together. Freezing is a real factor in Missouri, and across Missouri the winter months bring the most snow and ice, which is why the fall visit matters for the gutters.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, so those customers tend to book regular cleanings every three to four months. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, so those houses get a check after the sprinklers have run for a few weeks. Where the glass needs more than water, the crew uses cleaning solutions suited to the frame and the sill. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film on the glass that a twice-a-year schedule does not keep up with. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs for us, and this visit covers the exterior only. None of this needs to be settled before the first visit; we tell you after we have seen the house.
You will know windows need cleaning sooner than the calendar says when there is a haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is simpler: water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into 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.
Our crews work across the Spanish Lake area and book the same way on every job, whether it is professional window cleaning, gutter work or both. You start with a quote by phone or text at (866) 435-6328: the number of stories, a count of the windows you want done, and a photo of the front of the house. We use that to set the visit, and we call before we come, so the crew is not arriving unannounced. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, since the crew does not come inside, but the side gate should be unlocked and pets kept in while the ladders are up.
Booking is steadiest in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when the spring film and the leaf load bring in the most calls. If you want a slot in those windows, it is worth asking early, because the calendar fills. Outside those windows there is usually more room, and the lead time we quote on the phone is the one we keep. Booking works the same way for residential and commercial jobs. Our cleaning services cover exterior glass and gutters on residential properties, and we are set up for every size of job, from a single-family house to condos and multi-story buildings.
On a house with a lot of glass, the work is about the surfaces the crew can reach from the ground and the roof line, and about the gutters that carry the water away from the foundation. Clogged gutters are one of the first things we open, since water that backs up behind them is where the damage starts. Done on a regular schedule, the outside of the house keeps its curb appeal through the seasons without the buildup that leads to water damage.
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 run does not wash back onto clean panes.
We do not give a number off a page. The price on residential properties comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. The number we quote is the number we charge.
On the houses we work in Spanish Lake, the outside carries the spring film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and none of those come off with an inside clean. Clean windows only look right when the outside is done too.
Most of our Spanish Lake customers book in late spring, after the spring film builds up, and in late fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two busy windows, so it is worth asking early to schedule service.
No, because the crew does the gutters first and the glass last. A run cleared above a window will drip onto it if the glass was washed first, so we reverse that order on every job.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every window we do, as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. This visit covers exterior glass and gutters only.
You do not need to be home, since the crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
