Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Spring and fall are when most of our Menomonie customers book, because leaves and grime build up fastest then.
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 the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the factors that move a quote are consistent. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. Window count, oversized panes and picture windows change the time on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because cleaning alone does not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Gutters and downspouts packed with needles or leaves get a full flush before the glass is done, and that is priced into the number we give you. To get your exact number, text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a firm figure before we book. Our window washing covers the exterior glass, and our crew handles the window cleaning services, the washing services and the cleaning solutions that the house needs in the same visit. We also make sure the grime and runoff from the roof do not end up on the glass, and we remove dirt from the frames and sills while we are there. Residential properties and residential and commercial buildings are quoted by the same approach, one building at a time, and condos and multi-unit buildings follow the same rule.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Menomonie customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the house.
In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load is what fills the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book from what the house has actually collected rather than a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the window frames. These cases are the ones where regular cleanings every few months pay off.
You will know when the windows need it: haze shows up on the glass when the sun is low, even after a clean week. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain. Our window and gutter visits are scheduled around those signs, and we tell you what we find on each run.
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.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm number before we put a date on the calendar. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when leaves and grime are heaviest. Our calendar fills during those weeks, so booking early is the simplest way to get a slot. Our crew works with professional window cleaning standards, and we bring the equipment for cleaning services on every visit.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we call again before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. If your windows or gutters show clogged gutters or signs of water damage, we note it and photograph it for you rather than selling a fix. We also check the multi-story buildings and the curb appeal of the house as part of the visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so the clean panes are not splashed again.
We do not give a range here. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before we book.
Yes. The outside carries the film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up on the glass, and a clean interior cannot fix any of it. Interior and exterior glass collect different dirt, so they rarely need the same schedule. We clean every window on the outside of the house, so the clean windows you see from the street stay clear between visits.
Most of our Menomonie customers book in spring and again in fall, after the pollen drop and the leaf drop. Those are the months our calendar fills.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come down before any window is touched. Doing it in the other order means washing the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit, not billed as extras.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are. 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. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
