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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across South Dakota, most of our customers book this bundle for the spring and fall visits, and the number we quote by 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 price window washing services and gutter work 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 on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and the residential window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm it before we book a date.
Most of what drives the quote shows up on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a large count of small panes add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more hand work than a run that was done last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it up front. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We clean the exterior only, so a request for interior and exterior glass gets its own quote.
Across South Dakota the window cleaning services we handle for homeowners are much the same kind of work, but the cleanings that hold up longest are the ones scheduled on the calendar rather than called in after the glass has already gone hazy. Our crew sees grime that has built up over months, not a single bad week, and that is what makes regular cleanings cheaper per visit than letting a house go a full year. Ask us for a written estimate once you have the stories and window count in hand.
| 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.
Across South Dakota, most homeowners book the window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit is what makes that practical. Across the state the spring visit usually lands in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen season has settled, and the fall visit runs from October to early November, after the leaves come down. The schedule works for residential and commercial buildings alike, and plain cleaning solutions plus a good rinse handle the pollen film in spring. The film on south-facing glass and the paste inside the downspout elbows are what we find most in spring, and the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters is what we find most in fall.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. Across South Dakota, supercells with large hail and straight-line winds can strip debris into the gutters within a few days, so a house that took a bad storm may need its run cleared early. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, a house near a busy road, or multi-story buildings and condos often mean a third visit, because the spotting and the debris come back faster than the calendar allows. Water damage at the eaves usually starts with clogged gutters that overflow in the first heavy rain and send runoff down the siding, and that is the sign we watch for at every visit.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon, and it is usually on the outside glass, not on the windows inside. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running out the downspout. If you see either one, text a photo of the roofline to (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we see before we book a date.
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 crews offer professional window cleaning and gutter work across the city as a whole, and we book by phone or text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will reply with a written estimate and the next open date. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, late spring and early fall, our calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your slot. We call before we arrive, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our window cleaners work from the outside only. We do not come inside, and we do not need access to the interior of the house. We clean every window we can reach from outside to remove dirt and haze, and the rest we tell you about. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, especially in spring when the haze shows. Commercial and residential properties follow the same booking steps, with the building count and access details added up front. For schedule service on a regular cadence, we set the dates together so the crew is on your calendar before the season starts rather than after the glass has already gone cloudy.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit: the gutters and downspouts are cleared first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
We do not give a range on this page. The number comes from the stories and the residential window count, and you can get it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime. Dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots settle on exterior glass first, so cleaning only the inside will not remove dirt from the outside, and the haze you see in the afternoon sun stays.
Across South Dakota, our customers book the spring visit in mid to late June and the fall visit from October to early November, and the same two dates suit condos as well as houses.
No. Gutters first and glass last means the leaves, grit and runoff come down before we touch the windows, so the clean panes stay clean through the job.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks and the rest of the frame are included in the visit, and anything beyond that is priced before the crew starts.
We do exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home, since residential properties are worked from the outside only. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
