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 done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you that number before you book. Our crew does this work across Idaho every spring and fall, and most of the Garden City homes we see are booked for those two seasons.
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, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Window count and oversized panes add time on the glass, and some window cleaners quote by the pane alone, so we quote the whole house by stories and count. Gutters and downspouts not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hours than a light run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, but windows inside the house are not part of the price.
On the glass, film on the outside of the panes adds time, as does a long run of picture windows on a single wall. Where a house has been left for a long time, the grime on the sills and frames is part of the visit, not a surcharge. Dirt that has sat on the frame for a season comes off in the same pass as the glass. Window washing on a long wall is quicker when the house is not too tall, and on a multi-story house we set the lift position before we start, not partway through.
We do ask for the front of the house by text before we book. One photo tells us the stories, the roof pitch and whether there is a lift-access side yard. That photo is the difference between a quote you can rely on and a call-back after the first look. Professional window cleaning on a house in Garden City starts with that number, and the crew sticks to it.
Our own jobs make the point. A house with clogged gutters and a sprinkler line that hits the lower panes costs more to do well, because the spotting and the packed downspouts take the most time. Clogged gutters that overflow can cause water damage at the fascia and sill. The same house cleaned twice a year with no heavy tree cover is the simplest visit we run. Cost to clean windows follows the same pattern: stories and count first, then what is actually on the glass. Clean glass and open downspouts do a lot for curb appeal, which is part of why we bundle the two.
| 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.
Most of our Garden City customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring after the seed drop has finished, and once in the fall after the last leaves come down. For residential window work that is two set dates a year. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense, because the two jobs fall on the same calendar. Keeping regular cleanings on that two-visit schedule keeps clean windows the norm and keeps the sill and screen buildup from getting heavy.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring we see pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky paste packed into the gutters. In fall we see the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit, runs that sag under the weight of wet leaves by the time the ground freezes. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so when you schedule service at (866) 435-6328, we confirm the day before we come rather than working to a fixed calendar. Every window on the house gets the same pass at each visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually does, and for those the cleaning services go on the calendar as a third date. Sprinkler spotting is the one to watch: the spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral deposits, and we tell you so on the visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to book early, not to wait for the next scheduled 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.
We clean gutters and windows across Garden City and the houses around it, on the same route each season, so the crew is already nearby when your slot comes up. Residential properties on that route get the same crew every time. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we give you an arrival window and call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, when the calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months and the slot is easier to hold. Outside them, lead time is shorter. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew stays outside and sends photos of every run and every window before the truck leaves.
Our crew handles residential window washing services and gutter work on the same visit. Our window cleaning services for residential and commercial clients who need recurring service on a set calendar run on a standing schedule. Multi-story buildings and condos get the same exterior-only approach. Grime and runoff are handled at the same time as the glass and the downspouts, and the crew wipes each frame to remove dirt before the panes are done, so there is one trip, one set of photos and one invoice.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Splitting the two jobs between companies usually means someone has to wash the glass again after the gutters are cleared.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the visit costs before we book.
Usually the outside is what needs the work. Grime, rain dust and sprinkler spotting all build up on the exterior, and the inside stays clean on its own. Cleaning the outside alone is the standard job we do.
Most of our Garden City customers book in late spring and in the fall. Those are the two windows when pollen and leaves are heaviest, so the cleanings in those months fill the calendar quickest.
Not on our visits. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. That order is the reason we do both jobs together.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. None of it is billed as a separate extra. We use purified water, not cleaning solutions, on the glass.
No. Each visit covers the exterior only. We do not bundle interior and exterior glass into one job, and we do not do pressure washing on it. We do the outside of the windows and the gutters, and nothing else on the house.
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 the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
