The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across Colorado, most of our customers book in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest 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.
Window washing and gutter work are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that takes longer to reach, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The price does not cover windows inside the house, and the quote says so.
The houses that carry the most cost are usually the ones where neglect has already started to show. Clogged gutters that have sat through a winter can hold enough water to pull a fascia board, and the cost of that repair dwarfs the cleaning. Water damage on the siding below a run is one of the first things the crew photographs. Oversized picture windows and multi-story buildings each take more time per pane, and we say so when we quote. Professional window cleaning on glass this exposed is slower than a standard job, so the quote reflects that before the ladder goes up. Window cleaners who only count panes miss the gutters, screens and sills, so we quote the whole visit. Keeping the glass and gutters clear also protects curb appeal, which is why the runs are cleared before the glass is touched.
Getting the exact number is simple. Tell us the stories and the approximate window count when you call or text, and send a photo of the front of the house. Across Colorado, that is how we quote every job, and it is enough to give a firm price before the crew arrives.

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 here book both twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a calendar that repeats. In spring the seed and pollen film settles on south-facing glass and packs into the gutter elbows. A residential window facing south, sill included, is where that film builds fastest. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat is what sags the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates by a few weeks, so we book off what the house actually shows. Most residential properties follow that same two-visit pattern for their cleaning services.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after a cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction also collects more grime on the glass than one set back on a quiet street. Our crews see the same pattern on these properties every season, which is why we check every window on the house before we schedule service.
The sign that it is time to clean windows sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, usually from the west in the late afternoon. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain rather than running down the downspout. When you see either one, call and we will look at the house.
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 books gutter cleaning and window cleaning services across Commerce City, and we keep a calendar that fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf fall. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: give us the stories and a photo of the house front, and we return a firm number. Most slots come up within a short lead time, and when the calendar is tight in those busy windows we tell you the first open date rather than promising one we cannot hold.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew calls before it arrives and does not come inside, so you can leave the side gate unlocked and carry on with your day. Every gutters and downspouts run gets photographed as it is done, and the glass is checked before the crew leaves. Houses with heavy tree cover or a sprinkler line hitting the glass tend to need more attention than a standard visit, and we flag that on the estimate so the schedule matches the house. Washing services for the siding under each run are part of the visit, since the crew rinses below the gutter before it moves to the glass.
We also look at the runoff from the roof on every visit, since water that is not moving freely off the house is the first sign of a bigger problem. Our crews know how to remove dirt and grime from the frames and tracks as well as the glass, which is why the visit includes the frame. Condos with shared gutter runs get the same order of work, with each unit's glass done after its own runs. Whatever the job, the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we quote it from those.
On a Commerce City house the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees, and picture windows show it most. Cleaning the exterior glass is the part that changes what you see through the window.
Our customers here book regular cleanings in the spring and in the fall. Across Colorado, we see the same two windows of the year on the houses we clean.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the glass is done only after the runs and downspouts are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and tracks are included in the frame cleaning. The crew uses purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so nothing is left to streak. None of it is billed as an extra.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside and we do not do pressure washing on this job. We do not price interior and exterior glass together on this visit, so the quote covers the outside only. The method is the same for residential and commercial buildings: stories and window count.
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.
