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 booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across North Dakota, most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall, when the pollen and the leaves have had time to build up on the glass and in the runs.
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 an approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so if you tell us the stories, the window count and whether the gutters have been opened in years, you will know the figure before we arrive.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized panes such as picture windows, takes more time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more flushing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be reached. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning solutions alone do not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across North Dakota, the houses that get the most out of a visit are the ones where the owner sends us a photo of the front of the house by text and tells us the stories before we come. For a Jamestown job, that is all we need to give you a number you can plan around. We do not quote pressure washing on this visit. If you want interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate job, so tell us on the phone and we will say so plainly. Your window and gutter cleaning appointment is quoted once, on the phone, and held to that figure on the day.
For the residential and commercial jobs we run, the cleanings follow the same logic: the regular cleanings are scheduled around what the house or building actually collects, not a fixed calendar. Our crew writes that down at the first visit so the next booking is easy to set.
| 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 customers in Jamestown book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across North Dakota the calendar runs the same way: the spring melt drops the pollen and the seed fluff into the runs, and the fall leaves finish the job before the first hard freeze.
What we find at each visit comes down to a few things. In the spring the fine grit sits as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters and the downspout elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that packs the runs and holds water against the fascia. Clogged gutters are the usual way water damage starts at the fascia, because the water sits instead of draining. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we confirm the month when we call you rather than assuming it.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and we see it on the glass as well. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and only a separate treatment removes those. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside glass than the same house farther back. On those houses we tell you early that a third visit is the better plan. The windows inside the house are a separate job and are not part of this visit, but clean outside glass keeps the curb appeal up between visits.
Window cleaners who only do the glass often miss the runs above it, and that is why professional window cleaning on our jobs covers both in one visit. The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which means the run is full.
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 gutters and windows across Jamestown, and most of the houses we visit are residential properties where the owner wants the outside of every residential window and the runs above them done in a single visit. We take the calls for the whole city from one schedule, so the window and gutter cleaning appointments fill in the order they come in. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a date and a window count in return.
The two busy stretches of the year are the spring and the fall, the months when the leaves and the spring dust arrive. In those windows our calendar fills faster, so the earlier you ask, the more likely you are to get the day you want. Outside those months the lead time is shorter, and the programmatic lead-time figure is the one to rely on for the booking. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
If you have multi-story buildings or a set of residential properties to schedule, tell us the total number of windows and we will plan the route so each site gets clean windows and a clear line of sight to the sill and the runs above it. We schedule service by the building rather than by the window, and we confirm every window on the list before the crew packs up.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people in one visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleared first, glass last, so the runs are done before anyone touches the windows and the dirty water does not come down onto clean glass.
There is no figure on this page because our window cleaning services are priced by stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number before we book.
Yes, because the outside collects dust, runoff from the roof and sprinkler spots between visits. Condos get the same order of work, with the outside glass and the runs above it done in one visit. The inside is a separate job, and we do not do it on this visit.
Most of our Jamestown customers book in the spring and again in the fall, so ask for a date early, since the calendar fills fastest in those months.
No, because we clear the runs and flush every downspout before we start on the glass, and we give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping. That is the whole reason the order is gutters first, glass last.
Screens are rinsed and the frames are done as part of the window cleaning. The sills are wiped to remove dirt before the crew moves on, and tracks are included in the visit and are not billed as an add-on.
No, this visit is exterior only, and we do not offer pressure washing services here. If you want the inside of the glass done, tell us on the phone and we will let you know what that would involve.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
