The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls from the gutters lands on 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 them as two separate trips. Most of the homes we clean here get the spring and fall visit, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 residential and commercial jobs from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, as long as the house is what you described when you called. Stories and steep roofs decide how long the gutters take, and window count and oversized picture windows decide the glass.
What moves the quote on our jobs is usually what the crew finds on the day. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with grit and leaves, take longer than a run that was cleaned last fall. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions for the frames are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a window and gutter cleaning, we clean the exterior of the glass only, since interior and exterior glass are different jobs. Interior glass is not part of this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on the same call. If you want the work priced for a home with a lot of glass or several stories, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your story count, and we will come back with the number before anyone books a date.
The experience we have on Dickinson jobs points the same way every time: the customers who get the most out of one visit are the ones who tell us about pollen on the south windows and leaves in the downspouts before we arrive. A one-line description of the house and one photo of the roofline is enough to quote it accurately, and it avoids a surprise on the ladder. For a home that has a long gap since its last cleaning, that gap is worth mentioning, because the seed and grit that built up in the gutters is what usually sets the time on the job, and regular cleanings keep that build-up small.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |

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 here book our cleaning services twice a year, which is why one crew doing the gutters and the glass in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across North Dakota the pattern is the same, with the dates set by when the snow leaves and when the leaves finish falling. The spring visit falls in mid to late June, and the fall visit is late September to October, after the leaves come down.
At each visit we find something different on the glass. In spring a film of grime sits on the south-facing windows, and the seed and grit packs the downspout elbows. In fall the leaf load sits in the gutters, and wet leaves make a mat that holds water through the first freeze. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and across North Dakota the spring melt is the main event for the gutters, since the snowpack runs off in days and has nowhere to go.
Some houses need a third visit, especially multi-story buildings, and we tell you early if yours is one of them. Heavy tree cover over the roof means leaves and grit build up, and clogged gutters and downspouts are the usual result between visits. Sprinkler runoff hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a gutter that overflows for a season can cause water damage at the fascia. Some condos near a busy road or a construction site collect a film that one visit does not clear, and so do houses on the same street. Those are the cases where professional window cleaning on a shorter cycle pays for itself, because the curb appeal of the house drops quickly without it.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see haze you only notice with the sun low in the sky, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If you can see haze on the windows inside the house, the glass outside is usually dirty too. Our window cleaners can check both on a visit and tell you which of those applies to your lot.
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 books window and gutter cleaning around Dickinson one house at a time, and the estimate starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text giving the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. To schedule service, we give you a date when we quote the job, since the lead time depends on the calendar and we do not promise a slot we cannot hold.
Residential properties in the area get the same care on the gutters and glass. Our window cleaning services start with a plan for every residential window before the ladder goes up, so the goal is clean windows from the top of the house to the bottom. The two busy windows are late spring and early fall, when the leaf and seed loads peak and our calendar fills first. Booking early in those windows is the easiest way to get the date you want.
Each visit covers every window on the outside of the house, from the upper story down to the sill, and we do not skip panes that are hard to reach from the ground. If a pane is out of reach from a safe position, the crew photographs it and tells you before leaving.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and the gutter work are done by the same two people, which is why the bundle works. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the debris from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and we will quote it before anyone books a date.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what dirties a window in this area: grime from the air in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler runoff. The inside is a different job and we do not do it on this visit, but the outside cleaning is what keeps the glass clear between seasons.
Across North Dakota the spring visit is mid to late June, and most of our customers here book the fall visit in late September or October. Text a photo of the roofline to book a date that fits your schedule.
No, that is why we do the gutters first and the glass last. Every run is cleared, every downspout flushed, and the wall given a few minutes to drain before anyone touches a pane.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and the crew will remove dirt from them without billing it as an extra.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit, for houses and condos alike. Interior glass is not part of this visit, and pressure washing is a separate job we do not book with it. Our washing services cover the outside glass and the gutter runs, and nothing inside.
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. Ask for a written estimate and we will send one before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
