Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and downspouts and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across North Dakota, most of our customers book this in the spring and in the fall, so we already know what the glass and the gutters look like after a North Dakota winter. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, or send a photo of the front of your house.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it is built from those inputs, not from a fixed rate card. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this page covers the exterior only. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any oversized panes or picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Each of those adds crew time, multi-story buildings the most, and the crew times the job before we quote it.
The window and gutter bundle is the cleanest way to handle the exterior of a Mandan home, because one set of ladders and one visit covers both. We bring the cleaning solutions the job needs and purified water for the glass, and we plan the order of the work from the start so nothing has to be done twice. For residential and commercial jobs alike, the first question on the phone is the same: how many stories, and roughly how many windows.
Regular cleanings are cheaper over a year than letting the gutters and glass build up, because the grime and the pollen film get harder to remove dirt from each season. If the outside has gone a long time without attention, we will tell you on the phone and quote the job as it is, not as it should have been. The starting point is a photo of the front of the house and the answer to the stories question, which takes about a minute.
From one of our Mandan jobs: the house had three stories on the street side and a row of picture windows that needed a boom or scissor lift to reach safely, and the gutters had not been cleared since the previous owner. Both of those went into the quote before we arrived, and the number we gave held on the day. Send us a photo of the front of your house by text and we will tell you which of those apply to yours.

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 Mandan book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this city. Across North Dakota, the spring visit falls in mid to late June. On our calendar the fall visit is late September to October, and the timing follows the seasons more than the calendar.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters and at the elbows of the downspouts. In fall the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a run before the first hard freeze. Across North Dakota the spring melt is the main event for gutters: a winter's snowpack runs off across the flat Red River Valley with nowhere to go, and the runoff that finds clogged gutters goes over the edge and into the siding, which is how water damage starts.
Some Mandan homes need a third visit, and we say so after the first one. The usual cases are heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits; a sprinkler line that hits the glass, which leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning; and houses near a busy road or a construction site, where the glass gets a dust film faster. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass are the other common case, because the upper runs take longer to reach. Those are the places where the glass and the gutters need attention more often than twice a year.
Professional window cleaning on a fixed schedule is simpler than calling window cleaners after something goes wrong, because the crew already knows the house. Curb appeal depends on the glass and the gutters being clean at the same time, and a window cleaned in spring can look dull again by fall if the gutters above it are running over.
Windows need attention when you see haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running out 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.
We clean residential properties across Mandan, and the first step is always the same: an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Once we have that, we give you a number and a time, and the lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week. The two busiest windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, so booking early in those months gets you the slot you want.
On the day, the crew arrives in the window we gave you and calls before the truck pulls up. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. The estimate and the schedule are the only parts that need your time.
We do window and gutter cleaning on the same visit. Every residential window we can reach gets done from the ground or from the boom or scissor lift, including the upper stories and the sill along the bottom of each frame, and the crew clears the gutters and downspouts before it moves to the glass. This includes multi-story buildings where the lift is needed. The crew aims to leave clean windows with no streaks on every floor. If a window or a gutter run cannot be reached safely, the crew photographs it and tells you before the job ends.
To schedule service, text a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories to (866) 435-6328, and we will reply with a price and the next open date.
Yes. Our crew clears the gutters and downspouts and does the glass in one visit, so you have one set of ladders on the property and one bill.
The number depends on the size of the house and the window count, and we give it by phone or text from those inputs. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with the number.
On our Mandan jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the windows inside does not remove dirt from the outside of the glass.
Across North Dakota, most of our customers book the spring visit in mid to late June and the fall visit in late September to October, once the pollen drop and the leaf drop are done.
Not if we do the work in the right order. Gutters come first and glass last, because the leaves and the runoff under them run down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, so you do not need to ask for them separately.
We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit. We do not do interior window cleaning or pressure washing on this visit.
If the condo is a residential property and the crew can reach the glass safely, the washing services follow the same order as a house: gutters, then glass. A multi-story building is quoted by stories and window count, the same as a house. Send a photo of the building and we will reply with the number.
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.
