Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Colorado, most of the homes we clean get the gutters and glass done in the same spring and fall visits.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booked together in one visit, the bundle costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our window washing and gutter work share one ladder setup per side of the house, which is where most of the saving comes from. If you compare washing services, ask each one whether gutters are in the price.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons we see on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time and more setup. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add hours. Grime that has built up over a season takes longer than a light rinse. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Colorado, the number that drives a quote is almost always the same few things: stories, window count, and how long the gutters have sat. Customers on regular cleanings keep the same quote from visit to visit, because the stories and window count do not change, and a gutter cleaned last spring takes less time than one left alone for years. Our window cleaning services in this visit cover the exterior glass only, since interior and exterior glass are separate jobs for us. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the stories, and we can give you the exact number before the crew is booked.
| 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.
Across Colorado, most of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs. The spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs September to early October.
Steamboat Springs gets 24.7 inches of precipitation in a typical year, and January, April and May are the wettest months. Snow can fall in any month from October through May, and the city averages 184.5 inches of snow a year. Pollen film shows on south-facing glass and pollen paste sits in the gutter elbows by late spring, while fall brings the leaf load and the wet mats that build up in the runs before the snow starts. Pollen and grit settle on residential and commercial glass alike, so the season, not the building type, sets the timing.
Across Colorado, hail season dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, so a storm can shift the dates and we book around it rather than on a fixed calendar. Freeze risk is real here. Clogged gutters hold water that turns to ice, and that water can push past the fascia and start water damage that a cleaning would have prevented.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the runs packed between visits, and multi-story buildings take longer per run because the gutters sit higher. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road collects grit faster than most. Purified water does most of the work on the glass, and cleaning solutions come out only for the grime that water alone will not lift. Windows inside the house are not part of this exterior visit. Windows tell you when they need it, through a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 work across Colorado and send the same crew to every city we cover, so the estimate you get on the phone is the same one the crew confirms on the ladder. Booking starts with a call or a text with your stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the open dates when you call.
Spring and fall are the busy windows, when our calendar fills with gutter cleaning services and window cleaners working the same routes. Booking early in those months gets you the date you want. Booking through the schedule service on this page takes about a minute, and a text works just as well if you have a question first.
Professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning are one job for us, and the crew calls before arriving. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Every window and every run is photographed before the crew leaves, so you see the sill and frame condition as well as the finished glass. Curb appeal is what most people notice first, and a clean sill and clear gutter line show it from the street.
Yes. Our crew does both, one visit, two jobs. Gutters and downspouts are done first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not reach the clean windows.
For a residential window and gutter job, the number comes from stories and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number before we book the crew.
Usually yes for the outside alone, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass first, and one exterior visit is usually enough to remove dirt that rain leaves behind. Interior glass is a separate job, and we do not do it on this visit.
Across Colorado our customers book in spring and fall. Our spring visit runs late May to June and the fall visit runs September to early October, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before anyone touches the glass, so the dirty water has drained before the windows are done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on residential properties here.
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. If you live in a condo, tell us when you call so we can plan the ladder access. Text (866) 435-6328 with a photo of the roofline if you have questions before we come.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
