Yes, the same two window cleaners clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing washes back onto the panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Arizona, most of our customers book the work in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of your house and we will give you the number before we come.
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 give the price on the phone or by text, using the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we quote is the number we charge. Bundling gutters and downspouts with residential window cleaning services into one visit costs less than two separate bookings, and the exact saving shows in the estimate. Window washing booked alongside the gutters is the same crew on the same ladder, so it is priced once.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles, grit and grime, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras.
On a Douglas house, the first thing we do is look at the front of the building and the roofline. A small two-story home with a clear gutter line and a standard window count is usually the simplest quote we give. Text a photo of the front and tell us the story count, and we can give you the number before a truck is booked. For the bigger jobs, the same rule holds: stories, window count and a photo tell us what the crew will need.
| 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.
Across Arizona, most of our customers book window and gutter cleanings twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. The interior and exterior glass wear differently, and this visit covers the exterior only.
In spring, the pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters and at the elbows of the downspouts. Pollen film on south-facing glass often needs cleaning solutions on top of plain water, and that is the job we are most often called for. In fall, the leaf load arrives, and wet leaves in the gutters pull the runs down and send runoff over the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book off what the glass and the gutters look like, not only the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, though houses on regular cleanings usually manage with two. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packing between visits. 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 grit faster than average. If one of those describes your house, tell us when you book and we will plan the third visit with you.
The sign that windows need cleaning again is haze you only see when the sun is low, because a quick rinse will not remove dirt that has built up on the glass. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 on residential properties across Douglas, and our crew books onto the same calendar for every house we visit. To schedule service, start with a phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date, and we call before we come, so nobody is waiting on a truck that has not arrived. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Multi-story buildings take longer to set up, so the crew plans the ladder work before the visit. Condos get quoted the same way: tell us the number of stories and the window count.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. In those weeks the calendar fills, so book early if your house is on the list. For most homes, a slot is open within the lead time we quote on the phone, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. Our crew offers professional window cleaning services on the outside of the house only, and the same method suits residential and commercial buildings, though this page covers houses only. We keep the work to the glass and gutters we can reach safely. Clogged gutters left through a season are the most common reason we see water damage at the fascia, so the earlier you book the better.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters first and the glass last, in one visit, and you get photos of both before we leave.
For a residential window and gutter job, the number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked.
Usually yes on a Douglas house, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and clean windows show the difference first. Windows inside are a separate job that we do not take on this visit.
Most of our customers book in the spring, after the pollen drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. To schedule service, ask for the earliest open day when you call.
Not if the order is right. We go gutters first and glass last, so the water and grit from the runs washes off before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on every window we can reach from outside, as part of the exterior job. Tracks are wiped where we can reach them from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of this visit, and 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 if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. For a quote, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
