Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Lafayette, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Most of our Lafayette customers book it in the spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your quote.
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 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 is hard to reach, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and 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. Cleaning solutions, purified water and ladders come with the crew, so nothing shows up as a line item. Pollen film on the glass in spring adds a little time to any window and gutter quote, and we factor that in before we talk numbers. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings work the same way, by stories and window count.
Here is how the quote usually moves on a house with picture windows and gutters that have gone years without clearing. The full flush and a hand-cleared back run take more time than the window count alone, so the quote reflects that work rather than the number of windows. Single cleanings and regular cleanings are priced from the same two numbers, so the first quote gives you the starting figure for the next visit too.
Ask for the exact figure before you book, and tell us the number of stories and a rough window count so we can give it to you on the phone. There is no need to guess at the cost on your own; the crew will confirm the number before the truck is loaded.

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 Lafayette jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and across Colorado hail dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, so we adjust when we see that happen.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters can let water back up under the shingles, which is how water damage starts. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site collect more dust on the frames, so on those jobs we plan a visit every three to four months rather than twice a year, and we tell you why after the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and curb appeal drops fast when the glass looks dull from the street. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Those two signs are the reason most customers call us back, and they are a good reason to plan regular cleanings.
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 residential properties across the city, and our window and gutter cleaning follows the same routine on each house: clean windows, clear gutters, one visit, with photos sent before we leave. Houses and condos get a professional window cleaning visit from the same crew, and a residential window job is quoted from a photo of the house front and the number of stories. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with a photo of the house front. Once you pick a date, we schedule service and call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Our calendar fills in the two busy seasons of the year, so it helps to book early in the spring and fall windows.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside, and nothing in the job requires you to be inside the house. If something cannot be reached safely, like a pane over a sunroom roof, the crew photographs it and tells you rather than guessing. We take care of every window that can be reached from the outside and report on the ones we cannot.
Yes, our crew offers gutter and window washing services in one visit. The same two people handle the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows, so you do not have to book two companies.
We give the number on the phone or by text, based on the number of stories and the window count. The quote comes from those details, not from a range, and it is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up here. Clean inside glass cannot fix a film on the outside, and that film is what shows up in the sun. Our crew uses a water-fed pole to remove dirt and grime from every reachable pane on the outside.
Most of our Lafayette customers book in the spring and the fall. Those are the months our calendar fills, so booking early helps you get the date you want.
No, we do gutters first and glass last. Runoff from a gutter that has not been cleared runs down the wall and across the glass below, so we clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they can be reached from outside, and we tell you if one needs more work.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows or do pressure washing on this job. Ask before you book if you need interior and exterior cleaning, since this visit covers only the outside of the glass.
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.
