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 drips back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and your approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across North Dakota, most of our customers book this work in the spring and fall.
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 exterior gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift, window count, picture windows and other oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the houses that take the longest are the ones where the gutters have gone unopened for years, because the leaf and seed mats hold water and add weight before we ever touch the glass. A professional window cleaning visit goes faster when the crew knows the roofline first, so a text with a photo of the house front is the most useful thing you can send before we quote. The same goes for a house with a lot of glass on the upper floors, where the cost is set by how many panes we can reach from the pole and how many need a lift. Multi-story buildings in West Fargo follow the same logic, and we say the number up front.
Water damage is the reason most people call us after a bad spring, when clogged gutters have run water down the siding and onto the sills. We would rather clear the runs before that happens. For window washing, our window cleaners use purified water on a pole instead of cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. The curb appeal of a clean front is what most people notice first, and it is also the easiest thing to keep up with a schedule. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, along with the stories and the window count. We will call you back with a quote, and that quote is what you pay.
| 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.
Across North Dakota, most of our customers book both gutters and exterior glass twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. The spring visit lands in mid to late June across North Dakota, after the seed and tree-bloom season has finished. On our West Fargo jobs, the fall visit runs from late September to October, after the leaves come down. Those are the dates our crew plans its cleanings around, and the reason is what we find on the glass.
In the spring we find a pollen film on south-facing windows and a sticky paste packed into the gutters. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we have seen runs sag under the snow load by winter. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates by a week or two, so we call before we come. Some homes need a third visit, usually when heavy tree cover hangs over the roof, when a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or when the house sits near a busy road or construction. Those are the cases where a residential window gets dirtier faster than the rest of the block, and we plan the schedule around it.
Regular cleanings do not run on a fixed calendar for every house. Each home gets a schedule that matches its trees, its sprinklers and its exposure, and that schedule is what keeps the glass and gutters working properly. Residential properties with mature trees, or with sprinkler lines aimed at the walls, are the ones that most need a schedule service plan. Most people notice the haze on the window only when the sun is low, and that is usually the sign the glass is due. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter during rain is the sign the gutters need attention now.
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 windows and gutters on residential and commercial buildings across West Fargo, and the neighborhoods we work most often are the ones we have served repeatedly over the years. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open slot when you call. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and our calendar fills in those weeks, so booking early helps.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not enter the house. Our washing services cover exterior glass and gutters together, so you deal with one crew for both. We clean every window we can reach safely from the ground or the pole, and we tell you about any we cannot. We also handle window cleaning services for condos and townhomes, where a single visit covers the whole building. We clear grime from sills and tracks, flush the gutters and downspouts, and carry away the runoff and debris from the job, so you are not left to remove dirt yourself. If a slot is tight, call (866) 435-6328 or tell us your preferred days, and we will work it in where we can.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the wash water does not run back onto clean panes.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the stories, the size of the house and the window count. We do not quote a figure without those details, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On our West Fargo jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what makes a window look dull. Cleaning the inside does not touch any of that, so the outside is where the visible haze comes from.
The spring visit lands in mid to late June across North Dakota, and the fall visit runs from late September to October in West Fargo. Those are the windows when our crew sees the heaviest debris and grime.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last means the leaves, grit and black water are cleared before anyone touches a window, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. You do not pay separately for them.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and interior glass is not part of this booking, so we do not clean windows inside. We also do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
