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 washed down from the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Grand Forks jobs, most customers book in the spring and the fall, and the number we give at (866) 435-6328 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.
The price is set by 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. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, and none of them is billed as an extra.
Here is how a recent quote came together on one of our Grand Forks jobs. The house had two stories, a steep front roof and a run of gutters that had not been opened in several years, so the crew spent most of the first hour on the back run. The window count was in line with what the customer had estimated by phone, and the bundle covered both jobs in one trip. Getting the exact number starts with the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text.
Window and gutter jobs are quoted per visit, and a cleaning solutions line only appears when the glass needs one. Residential and commercial cleaning services follow the same logic, with the building size setting the number. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this visit covers the exterior only. Picture windows take more time per pane, which the quote reflects. Most customers who book regular cleanings come back on the same schedule, which keeps each visit short.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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 Grand Forks customers book both jobs twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across North Dakota, the spring melt is the main event, because a winter snowpack runs off in days with nowhere to go. In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and wet twigs and seed fluff packed in the gutters, and in the fall we find the leaf load. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road usually means a third visit, since the spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning.
Professional window cleaning on a twice-a-year schedule is how we remove dirt before it builds up enough to become a real problem. The glass itself rarely fails, but a film of grime shows up as haze you only notice when the sun is low, and clogged gutters are what lead to water damage at the fascia. Clean glass and clear gutters also keep the curb appeal of a house from slipping between visits. Multi-story buildings and homes with covered porches tend to have more debris pooling in the runs, so they get checked more often. We ask you to call before the calendar fills, because the busy weeks in spring and fall come quickly.
The sign windows need a cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in 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.
Our crew cleans residential window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city, and window cleaning services are booked on the same call. The estimate starts with a phone call or text giving the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, so call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first open day. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
We clean residential properties and commercial buildings, and we also clean windows on homes and condos where the outside glass has collected rain dust and sprinkler spotting. Each schedule service visit covers every window on the exterior and the gutter runs above them, so nothing is left for a second trip. The sill and the frame are wiped on every window, not only the pane.
Yes, it is the same two people. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the exact figure before the crew is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting that builds up on the exterior. Clean inside glass will still show that film from outside.
Our Grand Forks customers mostly book in the spring after the spring thaw and again in the fall after the leaves come down. Across North Dakota the spring is the busiest time, so call early.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. The leaves, grit and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass has to wait until that is done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior visit. Tracks are included in the exterior clean and are not billed as separate extras.
No. This visit is exterior only: we do not clean inside the glass and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, 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.
