Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning windows, and most of our Boulder customers book this bundle in those seasons.
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.

On our jobs, the quote moves with a few things the crew finds on the day: multi-story buildings with a third story or a roof steep enough that we work it carefully, a large number of oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves from years without a cleaning, guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Window washing on a Boulder house is mostly about the outside glass, where the grime from the season collects first. Our crew handles the washing services, the window cleaning services and the regular cleanings that keep the glass clear between visits, and we give every window the same attention, including the picture windows that take the most time to do right. Booking interior and exterior glass together is a different job, so this quote covers the outside only. For a number you can plan around, call or text (866) 435-6328 with the stories and the window count, and we will give you a firm figure before we book.
| 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 Boulder customers book a window and gutter visit twice a year, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Each visit gives us a clear look at what the season left behind on the glass and in the runs.
Across Colorado, spring visits run late May to June, after most of the pollen drop has settled. In Boulder, fall visits run October to early November, when the leaf load comes down and the runs fill, and water starts to back up at the corners. Clogged gutters that back up are the usual route to water damage at the fascia, so the fall visit matters most on houses with trees overhead. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates. Across Colorado, hail season dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, and we adjust the schedule after a hail or wind event.
Multi-story buildings and houses under heavy tree cover often need a third visit, and so do homes near busy roads or active construction. Sprinkler lines that hit the glass leave spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag those on the first visit so you can decide what to do about them. Our cleaning solutions are chosen to remove dirt from the glass without rushing it, and we say plainly when a stain needs more than a cleaning.
Two signs tell you the windows need a visit: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and runoff sheeting over the edge of a gutter during rain. Either one is a good reason to call, and we will tell you what we find when we get there.
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 Boulder, and the easiest way to book is a quick estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories with a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a window for the job. Our lead time is listed on the booking page, and we call before we come so you know exactly when to expect us.
Most of the route is residential properties, and the busy windows of the year are the spring and fall pollen and leaf seasons, when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a slot in those months, book early so we can schedule service around the rest of the route. We keep the exterior cleaning focused and efficient, which is part of why our crews run a steady schedule through the cleaning services season.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our window cleaners work from the outside, and the crew clears the gutters and downspouts before the glass, so the house looks clean once the job is done. Our professional window cleaning is the same on every route, and it shows in the curb appeal of the houses we leave behind. Every window gets the same care, and every sill gets wiped down before we leave.
Yes. The same two people clear the gutters and downspouts and clean the outside of the windows in one visit, and the gutters come first so the glass is clean at the end.
Our work is on residential properties, so the price comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a firm number. If you live in a condo, tell us the stories and the window count, and we will tell you whether the job fits the same quote.
On Boulder houses, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust, the grime and the sprinkler spots, and those are the things that make a window look dull from the street. The inside can stay as it is, but a residential window cleaning of the outside still needs its own visit.
Most of our Boulder customers book in the spring, after the pollen drop, and in the fall, after the leaves come down. In Boulder the fall visit runs October to early November.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the runs are cleared first, the black runoff and grit come down before we touch the windows, so nothing is left to wash back onto the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned to remove dirt as part of the job, and none of them is billed as an extra.
We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service. The exterior glass is the job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
