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 runs back down onto the panes we just finished. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew is out for the spring and fall cleanings that most homeowners here book twice a year.
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 cleaning services for residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than two separate jobs. Our washing services carry the same number on the phone and on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions are part of the job and are not billed as extras, while interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof on a residential window job takes longer to reach safely. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, need more passes before they run clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes, so we flag it before we quote it. We will also tell you if a window is hard to reach from the ground, so the number you hear is the one you pay.
For a homeowner who wants a clean exterior without the second trip, the useful thing is to get the exact figure from your stories, your window count and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Keep the window count honest, including the picture windows and the sliders, because that is what sets the glass time. Call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo, and our crew sends a firm number from it.

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 River Falls customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. Pollen is the heaviest that month, and it dries onto the glass in a haze that looks like dirt until it is washed off. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first freeze, when wet leaves turn into a mat that sags the runs under ice.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and the summer storms push debris into the gutters faster than normal. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters and packed downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects grit on the glass faster than the rest, and runoff from the roof carries it onto the lower panes. If your house has one of those conditions, we will say so after the first visit and suggest the schedule that fits it.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low in the afternoon. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout, and that sheeting water is how water damage starts on the siding below. When you see either one, that is the time to call, since the crew can remove dirt from the glass and frames in one visit.
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 gutters and exterior windows for residential and commercial buildings across River Falls, including homes and condos, and our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the quote before anyone is scheduled. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, and we confirm the lead time on that call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The crew is a professional window cleaning crew that works on every window on the house, reaching the upper floors of multi-story buildings from the pole and the ladder rather than leaning on the siding. Our window cleaners clean the exterior glass, the frames and the sill on each window, and windows inside stay as they are, so the finished house looks right from the street and the curb appeal lasts through the next rain. If you want to schedule service for a specific week, say so when you call, and we will hold the slot for your cleaning services.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from a cleared run does not land on clean windows.
The figure comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit.
For most houses here the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and an inside cleaning will not remove dirt from the glass outside.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in the fall, after the leaf drop, and residential properties follow the same calendar.
Not if the gutters are done first. The roof is cleared, the gutters and downspouts are cleared out, and only then does the crew work on the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the glass work, and we do not bill them as extras.
Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. This visit covers the exterior glass only, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not pressure wash.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
