Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our McKinleyville customers book this in spring and fall, and it is the visit we run most often on the houses we clean.
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 on the phone is the number we charge. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately.
On our McKinleyville jobs the same few things move the quote. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs change how we set the ladder or lift, and a window count that includes oversized panes takes more time per pane. Gutters nobody has cleared in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line hitting the glass is the one thing no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so it dries without streaks.
The fastest way to get an exact number is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. Our window and gutter cleaning estimate for a house like yours is built from those, and we do not add surprises on the day. If the house has a lot of picture windows or a long run of gutter on the back, say so in the note and we will factor it in before the crew is booked.
Gutters and glass are the two jobs most homeowners are already weighing, so the pricing question usually comes down to whether one bundled visit beats two separate cleanings. On our jobs it nearly always does, because we only send one crew and only set up once per side of the house.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |

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 McKinleyville jobs most customers book regular cleanings of the gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Our cleaning services cover both jobs, and professional window cleaning stays in the same visit as the gutter work.
In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the grit packs into the gutter elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is the main thing we find. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we ask about the last visit before we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters fill faster, and grit and needles get into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more film on the windows. Those are the houses where our customers book three or four visits a year, and we say so on the first visit.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout, and water damage can start where that water runs down the fascia.
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 across McKinleyville, and the schedule service is built to fit the calendar of the houses we already serve. The estimate comes by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we give you a date, and we call before we come.
The busy times are spring and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills first. If you want a particular day in either window, book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
We work on residential properties and on the commercial buildings we already service. That is residential and commercial work from one crew, so the same crew handles residential window and gutter cleaning for a single-family house and for a small office with clean windows to keep. Every window on the outside of the house is included, and each sill is wiped as the crew goes.
Yes. Our washing services for gutters and glass are run by the same two-person crew. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows, and you get one visit and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before anyone is booked. We do not quote a range here because a two-story house, or one of the condos with the same number of stories, can come in very differently depending on what is in the gutters and how many panes it has.
On our McKinleyville jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen in the spring, rain dust through the winter, and sprinkler spotting on the glass. Cleaning the inside alone leaves all of that in place, so the exterior visit is the one that does the most to remove dirt and improve curb appeal.
Most of our McKinleyville customers book in the spring and again in the fall, so the film and the leaves are cleared before they can build up. Book early for those two windows because the calendar fills first.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall as runoff, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Window cleaning services on our jobs include screens rinsed and sills wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the exterior side as the crew goes.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. A job covering interior and exterior glass is not part of this booking, so ask about it separately if you need it, and we do not do pressure washing.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
