Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Missouri, our crews usually get this bundle booked in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are at their worst.
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 quote by stories and approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit is cheaper than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs take more time on the ladder. A high window count, or large picture windows that need more handling, adds time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with a cleaning. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, screens are rinsed and sills are wiped, and none of that is billed as an extra.
On our West Plains jobs, a house with heavy spring tree film and leaf litter in the fall tends to need the most time on the gutters. Cleaning solutions are used on the glass only where needed, and the interior and exterior of a home are handled as separate questions. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same logic, though commercial buildings are priced per building. Multi-story buildings add ladder time, so they carry a higher quote than a single-story house with the same window count. For regular cleanings we keep the same crew and the same visit order, which keeps the quote steady year to year. Professional window cleaning is quoted from the photo and the window count, not guessed at on the phone. To get your exact number, send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will come back with a fixed price.

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 West Plains 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 cleaning services in the region, the two visits that matter most are the ones that follow the spring tree film and the leaf drop. In late spring we find a film of tree dust on the south-facing windows, and in the gutters a paste that has packed the downspout elbows. In late fall, clogged gutters from the wet leaf mat are the main problem, and houses that skipped it often show sagging runs by winter.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, or a sprinkler line that hits the glass, usually means a third visit. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning because the water leaves minerals behind, and that is a sign to book again sooner. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime between visits, so it tends to be on a shorter cycle. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, since the front of the house is the first thing neighbors see. Windows need cleaning when you notice a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down the downspout, because that runoff can lead to water damage at the fascia. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the spring or fall date with you.
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 do window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across West Plains, and our crew knows the layout of the city's older and newer neighborhoods. A residential window on a corner lot gets the same outside pass as one on a flat street. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and most estimates are answered within the same working day. Lead times depend on the season, so booking early in the spring and fall gives you the slot you want. Busy windows happen in late spring and late fall, when the spring tree film and the leaf drop fill the calendar, so the earlier you call, the better the date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we arrive in the window we gave you. Every window and gutter run is done from the outside, and we do not enter the house. If a window sill is weathered or cracked, the crew notes it and wipes the sill clean while they are on the ladder. We bring the same care to clean windows on a single-story ranch as to a three-story home on a steep lot, and we will schedule service around your timing. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows, so you get one visit and one invoice. Gutters go first because the grime and water that come off them run down the wall and onto the glass. Our washing services are one visit, not two.
We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, not from a fixed rate, and condos are quoted the same way. Send us those two facts, along with a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number by phone or text.
On our West Plains jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that cling to the glass. Cleaning the inside does not remove those, so the outside is where the visible haze comes from, and that is where we remove dirt.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall. Spring is when the tree film on the glass and the paste in the gutters are heaviest, and fall is when the leaf load comes down. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the date.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned where they can be reached from outside. None of this is billed as an extra line item.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing.
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.
