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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Colorado we have found that most homeowners who book this bundle do it in the spring and fall, when the seed and leaf drop are heaviest.
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 bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We do not quote a figure without knowing the stories and the window count, so have both ready, along with a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Call (866) 435-6328 to get started.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. Multi-story buildings take longer to work safely, and so does a roof too steep to walk. Oversized picture windows and a high count of small panes add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with pollen, needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Grime that water alone will not lift gets cleaning solutions applied by hand, not a pressure wash. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across Colorado we have found that the cleanings that run longest are the ones where the homeowner has the least information on the day we arrive. Count the stories, count the windows you want done, and send a photo of the house front. That is enough for us to tell you whether the job is a single visit or a longer one before the crew leaves the yard.

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 the spring visit falls in late May or June, and in Thornton most customers also book the fall visit in October or early November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the seed and leaf paste packed into the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the first hard freeze, when wet leaves that stay in a run turn into a sagging, ice-heavy mat over winter.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. Across Colorado, hail along the Front Range dents gutters and washes shingle grit into the runs, so a hail year often brings the spring visit forward. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or active construction tends to need a third visit. Regular cleanings in spring and fall keep the next visit short, and a run that overflows all winter is how water damage starts at the eaves. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after a cleaning, and they are the clearest sign a third visit will not be wasted.
You will see when windows need cleaning as a faint haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need cleaning as water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout. Those two signs tell you more than any date we could give you, and we are glad to walk through them on the first visit.
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 residential properties across Thornton, and the price covers every residential window on the outside of the house. We can tell you on the phone whether we have cleaned on your street before. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Typical lead time depends on the calendar, and we give you the actual date when we quote, not a promise we cannot keep. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you want a slot in either window, call early and we will hold a date for you. For a window and gutter cleaning booked outside those months, lead time is usually shorter. Professional window cleaning means purified water, which is how we remove dirt from the glass without leaving spots, and we schedule service around the weather, since rain or high wind stops the work at the glass.
Our goal is to get every window and every run done on the same visit, with clean windows and clear gutters and nothing left for a second trip. If the outside of a window still has a film after we finish, tell us the same day and we will look at it before the crew leaves the yard. If a building is part residential and commercial, call and tell us the mix before we quote.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, and they do it in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the grit from the runs does not end up on clean panes.
We do not quote from a fixed list. The number comes from the stories, the window count and the state of the gutters, and we give it by phone or text. Send the number of stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328 to get your quote.
Yes, because the outside carries what the inside never sees: the seasonal film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass and drag down curb appeal. Those are the marks that show through the glass when the sun is low, and they are on the outside.
Across Colorado, the spring visit falls in late May or June, and in Thornton most of our customers book the fall visit in October or early November, when the leaf load is heaviest. Booking then keeps the gutters clear through the season.
No, because the crew works gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves, grit and black runoff down the wall, so the glass has to wait until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our window washing services. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. None of those are billed as extras on our jobs.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so if you want interior and exterior glass together, say so when you call. We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the 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. If you own one of the condos in a complex, check the building's rules about ladders before the crew arrives.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
