Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing washed down from the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work across Colorado for many spring and fall seasons, and it is the same crew that will be on your ladder.
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 price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Doing the window and gutter work together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and we will show you that difference on the estimate. The same method works for residential and commercial buildings.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and pollen packed into the downspout elbows adds time in spring. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The cleaning solutions for the glass are included in the price. The quote covers the exterior glass only: the windows inside are not part of this visit, and interior and exterior work is not the same job. Every one of the cleanings on your schedule is priced from the same stories and window count, and regular cleanings get the same quote basis on each visit, so the second visit does not surprise you.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have. Our crew works from that and quotes before we are scheduled.
| 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 Durango customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew and one visit makes sense for them. Across Colorado, the spring visit usually lands in late May to June, and the fall visit in October to early November, after the last leaves come down. On the glass we see a pollen film on south-facing panes in spring, and in the gutters a pollen paste that packs the downspout elbows. In fall the trouble is the wet leaf mat that leaves clogged gutters behind.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and we see those customers on every three to four months. Snow in Durango averages about 63.7 inches a year, and a clogged gutter that holds melt water into a freeze can lead to water damage at the fascia. Plenty of window cleaners only book the glass, which leaves the runs above it full. Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings uses the same ladder setup as the gutter run, so the two jobs go together. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that builds between visits.
Haze shows most on the windows inside when the sun is low, and clean glass does more for curb appeal than most people expect. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain. Text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which of our cleaning services fits your house and how often.
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 cleans gutters and exterior glass across the Durango area, and the window and gutter cleaning we do is set up for residential properties of most sizes. Our washing services cover the exterior glass and the gutters in one visit, so you book one time. Each residential window is reached from the same ladder setup as the gutter run. Booking starts with an estimate by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call, and we tell you the first open slot when we quote. Our calendar fills in the spring and fall windows, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, so booking early in those months gets you a better date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. Once you schedule service, we will confirm the window, the arrival time and the number of stories so there are no surprises on the day. We clean every window on the exterior, including the sill and frame, and leave clean windows with the gutters and downspouts flushed, so the job reads as one finished house rather than a few panes.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same crew. The two of us work the gutters first and the glass last, so the washing services happen in one visit without a second setup.
We do not give a figure in this answer. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text before we book.
On our Durango jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up on the exterior glass. Cleaning the outside removes what the weather leaves, and runoff from the gutters is what we keep off the clean panes.
Most of our customers here, including owners of condos, book in spring and in fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Tell us what you see on the glass and we will suggest the month that fits your house.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. The crew clears the gutters and downspouts before touching the glass, since the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. We do not bill them as add-ons, and we will tell you on the estimate what the house needs.
No, on this visit we clean only the exterior glass. We do not clean inside windows and we do not do pressure washing here, so those are not part of the price.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
