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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will quote it by stories and window count. Across Idaho, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Window washing and gutter cleaning share one visit, so one number covers both. Our washing services are quoted from stories and window count, and condos are quoted the same way. The cleaning solutions, water and ladder or pole setup are all in that number, so nothing is added at the door. Send a text with the front of the house and an estimate of stories and windows, and we will tell you what the job comes to before anyone books a date.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder and the lift. Oversized panes and picture windows add time on the glass. Gutters nobody has cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes than a run cleared every season, and the runoff spills over the edge in rain. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes. The gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, so they are not billed as extras.
Here is what we see drive a number up on a typical Idaho Falls visit: a two-story house with a sprinkler line that hits the front glass, gutters that have gone a full season without being opened, and a window count that doubles once the back of the house is counted. A customer with those three things will get a higher number than one with a single-story house and a clean roofline, and that is the whole reason we ask the questions up front. The estimate is built from what is on the house, not from a guess at the neighborhood.
To get the exact number, tell us the stories, give us a rough count of every window, and text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for a firm figure, and the crew confirms the same figure when they arrive, so there is no change at the door.
| 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 Idaho, most of our customers book two cleanings a year, both jobs in one visit, which is why one crew makes sense for the calendar. Spring and fall are the two windows where the glass and the gutters both need attention at the same time, and regular cleanings in those windows keep the buildup from getting ahead of the crew.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters, and a spring visit clears that before the summer haze sets in. In fall the leaf load is what we find first, clogged gutters with a wet mat of leaves in the downspout elbows, and it is also when the storm and wind season starts to move the dates. A late-season visit before the first hard freeze keeps the gutters from sagging under ice later.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts faster than a twice-a-year schedule can keep up with. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is the other common case, because the spots it leaves come back a day after cleaning. A house on a busy road or next to construction picks up grime faster than the glass can stay clear, and a visit is how we remove dirt that has built up over a season.
You will know the glass needs it when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down 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.
Our crew cleans exterior windows and gutters for homes and businesses across the city, and that is professional window cleaning done in one visit with the gutters. We keep a set of window cleaning services built around how the house is laid out rather than a single fixed package. Window cleaners who do both jobs on one visit save you a second setup, and we run it that way because the gutters have to come first anyway. The estimate is the same process for residential and commercial jobs, from residential properties to multi-story buildings: stories, window count, a photo of the front.
Booking starts with a call or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a window with you. Lead time is set by the calendar at the time you ask, and we call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but a phone that answers is useful if the crew has a question about a gutter run they cannot reach.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so if you want a specific week in those months, ask early. Between those windows slots open up more easily, and a clean front of house does a lot for curb appeal. If a gutter we are working on shows water damage to the fascia or wall, we photograph it and tell you, and we do not try to sell a repair as part of the visit.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder for both. Gutters go first, so the clean windows stay clean.
For a residential window job on a two-story house, the number comes from stories and window count, not from a flat figure we read off a list. Tell us the stories and a rough window count by phone or text, and we give you the number before any date is booked.
On the outside of an Idaho Falls house you get rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up even when the inside is clean. The interior and exterior glass wear at different rates, and the outside takes the weather, so it is the part that needs cleaning on its own schedule.
Our customers here most often book in the spring and in the fall. A spring visit clears the film that has built up on the glass, and a fall visit clears the leaves before the first hard freeze.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the glass is done after the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are hand-rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same visit rather than billed separately.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay with you, and we do not do pressure washing.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
