The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Most of our Apache Junction customers book it in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
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 and gutter cleaning by stories and approximate window count, and our washing services booked as one visit cost less than two separate jobs. The number we quote over the phone or by text is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have before the crew comes out. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping come with every visit and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers the exterior only; if you also want interior and exterior glass done, ask for that as a separate estimate.
What we find on the day is what moves the quote. Multi-story buildings, including a third story or a roof too steep to walk, take more time on the ladder. A residential window with oversized panes or picture windows takes more care per pane. Clogged gutters, or gutters packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and the gutters and downspouts get flushed until the water runs clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes, and we flag it when we see it.
On our Apache Junction jobs, regular cleanings keep the work quicker each visit, because the grime on the glass and the pollen in the gutters have less time to build up. If your windows have been left for a long stretch, expect the first visit to take longer. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the stories and window count, and ask for a written estimate before you book a date. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through 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.
On our Apache Junction jobs, most customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The dates move with the season and the weather, and the calendar is set by what we find on the glass and in the gutters at each visit.
In the spring, pollen settles on south-facing glass and mixes with rain dust into a film, and it packs into the gutters as a paste, which is the main reason we are out. In the fall, the leaf load comes down and mats in the runs, and wind and storms can move the dates either way. Across Arizona, monsoon storms can drop a lot of water in an hour, and the runoff from the roof carries grit across the glass below. So a cleaning ahead of the season matters more than the calendar alone suggests.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a gutter that overflows at a corner can push water into the siding, which is where water damage starts. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the windows and in the runs. Those are the cases where we suggest adding a visit, and we tell you why once we have seen the house.
Windows need cleaning when the haze shows only when the sun is low. We rinse with purified water and use cleaning solutions only where a film will not lift, and we remove dirt from the frames first so the rinse does not carry it onto the glass. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down 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.
Our crew works across Apache Junction, and we keep a regular route through the city so a slot opens up without a long wait. We offer cleaning services for the gutters and window cleaning services for the outside glass, both on one visit. Booking is simple: you give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front by text or phone, and we confirm the date and the window count before we arrive. Before we leave, we check every window against the quote. Lead time is set in the schedule you see when you book, and we do not promise a day we cannot keep.
We handle residential and commercial jobs, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf fall, when our calendar fills up in both. Book early if you want a specific week in those months, and ask us about the schedule service if you want the visits set on a fixed cycle. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We work with homeowners, property managers and residential properties of every size, along with the professional window cleaning companies that bring us in for overflow on larger jobs. Plenty of window cleaners stop at the glass, and we do the gutters on the same visit. Whatever the scope of the washing services you book, the price comes from the building and the crew confirms it on the phone before the day starts.
Not every window cleaner does, but our crew does both on the same visit, gutters first and glass last, so the wall is not dripping onto clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the residential window count, so we give it over the phone or by text once we have those. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
On our Apache Junction jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which build up faster than the inside, so the glass often needs the outside done first. The outside is also what the street sees, so it does the most for curb appeal.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, the two windows when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
No, that is the reason we clean gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters, with its leaves, grit and black water, streaks it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well.
No, this visit covers the outside glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. Condos work the same way if the crew can reach the outside of the building.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
