The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Arizona, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we give on the 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.
The number we give you before we come is the number on the invoice. We price by stories and by approximate window count, and a bundle done in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, with the saving shown on your quote. Nothing in that number is a surprise: downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Professional window cleaning is priced this way on every house, and window washing is quoted before the crew is booked, not after.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do picture windows and other oversized panes that need the boom or scissor lift instead of a pole. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned, and we quote that by the foot before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the first visit.
On a recent job, the house was a two-story with a wide front window run and a gutter line that had gone a long stretch without clearing. The crew noted the stories, the window count and the guard situation on the phone call, and the quote held on the day because those were the numbers we were given. If you send a photo of the front of your house by text along with your story count, we can give you the exact number without guessing. The quote starts from those numbers.
| 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 customers in Casas Adobes book these cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Arizona, the pattern is the same: the glass and the gutters are both due at the same point in the year, and doing them together keeps the schedule simple. Regular cleanings keep the glass clear and the curb appeal intact through the season.
In spring, the pollen settles as a film on the south-facing glass and forms a paste in the gutters. In the fall, the leaf load arrives and the storm and wind season moves the dates, so we confirm the window each year. On the glass, what we find most is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and in the gutters it is the packed debris at the elbows of the downspouts. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually means a third visit, because the same debris or spotting returns between cleanings. The clean windows you paid for can look hazed again within weeks in that setup.
When you see water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain, the gutters need attention before that runoff causes water damage at the foundation, and when the glass looks hazy only in low sun, the windows need it. Both mean it is time to schedule service rather than wait for the next booked date. Do not try to clean the gutters or the glass yourself from a ladder; the crew handles that work.
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 work across Casas Adobes and book by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the estimate and the earliest date we can offer. Lead time is set by the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves peak, slots fill faster, so booking early helps. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles residential and commercial properties, and the house-by-house detail that comes with them: the washing services are done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries clean, and the window cleaning services cover every residential window on the outside of the house. Grime and mineral spotting show up in different places, and we tell you which is which. The gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, and the runoff from them is checked at the outlet so it clears the foundation. We remove dirt from the frames and sills as part of the same visit, and we see condos and multi-story buildings often enough to plan the route around them.
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 debris does not run back onto clean panes.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the figure before we come.
Often, yes. The outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those show through the glass whatever the windows inside look like.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, once the pollen and the leaves have dropped. Those are also the busiest windows, so book early.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Cleaning the glass before the gutters means the first rain or the first run of water puts dirt back on it.
Sills are wiped as part of the visit. Screens are rinsed and tracks are cleared on the same visit, picture windows included, and none of it is billed as an extra.
We quote interior and exterior work separately, and this visit covers exterior only. We do not clean inside the glass or do pressure washing here.
No, 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
