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. Most of our Jerome customers book it each spring and fall, before clogged gutters and pollen build up on the house. Call (866) 435-6328 and we give you the number before we book.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Give us the stories and a rough window count, and we will tell you what the visit costs before anyone climbs a ladder. The same two numbers start a residential and commercial quote.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer to reach safely. Oversized panes and picture windows cost more to clean than standard double-hung sashes. Gutters packed with pollen, needles and leaves take extra time to clear before the flush. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment, and plain cleaning solutions and water will not lift it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the phone we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, sent by text. Call (866) 435-6328 to start, and we plan the visit from there. Our quote covers the exterior glass only, so no interior and exterior bundle appears on the invoice. Regular cleanings keep the grime from setting, and a third cleaning is quoted as its own visit. If there is a back run that needs a lift, we say so before we book it, so the number already includes it.
| 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 the spring visit usually lands late May to June, and the fall visit in October to early November, so most of our Jerome customers book professional window cleaning services twice a year, one crew and one visit each time. The spring visit clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste out of the gutters. The fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before it sits on the roof through the cold months.
Pacific fronts bring storm season across Idaho, which moves the dates a little, and a hard wind can pack a run with debris between visits. Houses under heavy tree cover, and multi-story buildings with big trees over the roof, are often on three or four visits a year, because needles and grit pack the clogged gutters faster than twice a year can keep up with. A house with a sprinkler line hitting the glass needs a third visit when the spots come back a day after cleaning. A run of clogged gutters that sits through a wet season can lead to water damage on the fascia, so do not wait for the spill. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and needs the same treatment.
You can tell the windows need it when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and that the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain. Dull glass hurts curb appeal, and our visit covers the outside only, not the windows inside. We will tell you which schedule your lot needs after 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.
We handle window and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Jerome, and a residential window gets the same outside clean as the gutters above it. Booking starts with a call or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before we book. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we confirm the slot by phone. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Across Idaho, the two busy windows are late May to June and October to early November, and our calendar fills fastest in those stretches. If you want a date in those months, schedule service early. Our washing services stop at the outside of the glass, and clean windows are what the crew leaves behind. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but if you want to be present, that is fine. We take photos of every window and every gutter run, so you can see the finished work before the crew leaves. If a sill or a frame needs more than a wipe, we note it on the report and tell you what we found.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we give you the figure before we book.
Yes. The outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the grime shows from the street even when the inside is clean, and it hurts curb appeal. Outside cleaning is how you remove dirt the rain leaves on the glass.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in fall, after the seed and leaf drop. Condos with a shared gutter run need that run checked first, so ask us about it when you book. Tell us which months fit your lot.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. That order keeps runoff off the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks that need more than a wipe are noted on the report.
On this visit we clean the outside of the glass only. Our washing services do not include interior glass or pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
