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. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. On our Chubbuck jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew sets the figure from stories, window count and the state of the gutters before any work starts, so you know the total up front.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are their own step. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Chubbuck jobs, a house with heavy pollen on the south-facing glass and gutters packed with seed pods came in as a two-story bundle with mid-range window count, and the crew did it in one morning. The quote came from the stories and the window count we counted from a photo of the front of the house, sent by text before we booked. Send us the same photo and a rough count of the stories and windows, and we will give you the number before anyone climbs a ladder. This is a window and gutter job we price the same way every time, so you can compare quotes on the same basis.
The spring film on the glass is the reason most of our Chubbuck quotes move. In late spring, the film on the panes and the paste in the elbows add time to both jobs, and a crew that has to clear it twice costs more than one that does it right the first time. Cleaning solutions for the glass are chosen for the job, and we use purified water so the panes dry without streaks.
Residential and commercial work follow the same logic: the job is measured by what is on the building, not by a flat guess. Our residential jobs are priced by stories and window count; commercial buildings are priced per building. Ask for the number that fits what you have. Exterior glass is what this price covers, and a request for interior and exterior glass gets its own quote.
Plan for cleanings on the same schedule as the season, and a picture windows run on a large front elevation takes more time on the pole. We do the regular cleanings at the rate we quoted, so the second visit is priced from the same count.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and ask for a written estimate. We will tell you what moves your number before the crew is booked.

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 Chubbuck customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. What we find at each visit is the spring film on south-facing glass and the seed paste packed in the gutters, and the leaf load that settles in fall. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, so we book from the house, not the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts filling between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, and those need a separate mineral treatment. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grit faster than the rest of the street. Window cleaners who work these streets see it on the sills first, and our crew checks the same spots on every professional window cleaning visit.
On one Chubbuck house with no trees, a twice-a-year visit has held the gutters clear and the glass clean. On another house under mature trees with sprinkler spotting, we are on the schedule three or four times a year. The difference is what the roof and yard put into the gutters and onto the glass.
Our cleaning services calendar is built around that difference, and it keeps a clean house from slipping into the kind of curb appeal problem that starts with grime. We look at windows inside the house only when the customer asks, and that is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
You know windows need cleaning when you see haze only at low sun, in the morning or late afternoon. You know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Both are signs of clogged gutters or a buildup on the glass that a seasonal visit will catch before it becomes a problem. Left alone, that gutter overflow can cause water damage on the wall below, so those runs get booked first. On multi-story buildings the same signs show up on the upper runs first.
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 the gutters and the outside of the windows on residential properties around Chubbuck, and books each job for one visit. Booking starts with a phone call or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a slot. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, our calendar fills faster, so book early if you can. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
A window and gutter cleaning visit suits a house with a residential window count we can see from the ground and gutter runs we can reach from a ladder or a lift. Where a boom or scissor lift is needed, we say so at the estimate. On the day, the crew works around the house in the same order every time, so every window and every run gets handled and nothing is skipped.
If you want us to schedule service on a recurring basis, tell us when you call and we will set the dates from the house rather than from a calendar. We keep the photos of each visit, so the next crew knows which runs needed the most work and which sill needed a second pass. That keeps the job consistent from year to year.
We aim to clean windows and clear the gutters in the same visit so the glass is not dirtied by runoff afterward. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the house front and ask for a written estimate.
Yes. Our <em>window cleaning services</em> and gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters first, then the glass, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the window count on your house, and we give it by phone or text before we book.
Yes. On our Chubbuck jobs, the outside carries the spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Those show up on the outside first, and the crew has to <em>remove dirt</em> from the frames and sills before the glass comes out clean. Interior glass is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our Chubbuck customers book in late spring and in fall, when tree debris and leaves are heaviest on the house. Book early for those windows, since the calendar fills.
No, we do <em>gutters and downspouts</em> first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them come down the wall, so the glass waits until the roof and gutters are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not offer pressure <em>washing services</em>.
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, and unlock the side gate. If the home is one of the <em>condos</em> in a shared building, tell us when you call so we can confirm which gutters and windows are included.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
