Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes. We price the job 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 works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, and this page covers how we handle the job from first call to final photos.
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 quote gutter and window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and gutter work are billed as one job, so the washing services cost less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes. We do not give a price range in this section, so ask for an exact figure with your stories and window count.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. A residential window job on a condo with several floors of glass is quoted on the same stories and window count. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleared in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and runoff from a clogged run sheets down the siding while the crew works. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Heavy grime on the glass takes longer, because the crew has to scrub to remove dirt rather than just rinse it. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the crew checks every window on the exterior list before it leaves.
On a Boise City job we look at the whole house before we quote. A recent customer who had a tall two-story with many panes asked us to clean the gutters and glass the same day, and the quote moved because of the stories and the pane count, nothing else. Another homeowner with a smaller single-story had a quick visit and a lower number for the same reasons. The factors are the same every time, so you can see how your house compares. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and window count, and we will reply with a figure before you book a date.

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 Boise City jobs most customers book both window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, so the spring visit clears both, with cleaning solutions used on the glass where the film has dried. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs, so the fall visit clears both again. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates by a few weeks, and we move the booking with the weather.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts, so those houses come back between seasons. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need a closer check. A house near a busy road or construction picks up extra grime on the glass. We look at your lot on the first visit and tell you which schedule fits. The same check applies to residential and commercial buildings.
Watch for two signs. On the windows, you will see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and that means it is time. Picture windows show that haze first, because their size makes every streak visible. On the gutters, water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout, and that means the runs are full. We schedule regular cleanings around those signs, and we send photos of each run so you can see the state of the gutters before and after. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs, so this schedule covers the exterior only.
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 window cleaners work across Boise City, and our cleaning services cover residential properties citywide rather than a short list of streets. Booking runs through a phone or text estimate: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and the quote. Every booking is professional window cleaning from the same crew that does the gutters. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service on a set date early in those windows.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the outside of the house, does not come inside, and calls before they arrive. The windows inside are not part of the visit, so the interior glass keeps its own schedule. For multi-story buildings and steep roofs we bring a boom or scissor lift, and we plan the setup on the estimate call. Clean windows and a clean exterior protect curb appeal, and clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia and foundation. Our crew handles both jobs in one trip, so you get one appointment and one invoice.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass. That order keeps dirty gutter water off the clean panes.
For residential properties, the number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any date is set. We do not quote a range on this page.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries the dirt in Boise City: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass between visits, while the inside stays cleaner. Cleaning the outside alone removes what the weather leaves behind.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, and we set the timing for your house on the estimate call.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Gutter debris and the black water under it come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we check every window on the exterior list before we leave. Tracks are included in the bundle when they can be reached from the outside. Nothing on the exterior list is billed as a surprise extra.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit, so call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service for those separately if you need them.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
