Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 same two inputs for every residential window job. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window and gutter cleaning follows the same plan on every house, so the quote you get is the one you pay.
Four things move the quote on the day we walk the house: a third story or a steep roof the crew has to work around, the count and size of oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since no cleaning removes it. The glass is done with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so there is no soap film left to chase. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras.
Our crew has cleaned a lot of residential properties in Post Falls, and the quotes that surprise people are the ones where the gutters were not cleaned in years. The fix is simple: send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you where the number lands before anyone climbs a ladder. The exterior glass is what most people ask about first. Interior and exterior cleaning are different jobs, and our visit covers the outside only, so windows inside are quoted separately. Picture windows on a two-story front take longer than standard panes, and we say so up front. For regular cleanings, the same number applies each visit once the first one is done.
| 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 runs late May to June, and most of our Post Falls customers also book the fall visit in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The spring visit clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the spring paste out of the gutter elbows. The fall visit clears the wet leaf mat before the first hard freeze.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road each change the schedule. Under big trees we see needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, so those houses go on every three to four months. A sprinkler spotting problem shows up as round white marks that come back a day after the glass is cleaned, and that is the signal for a third visit rather than a deeper scrub.
We work with a number of window cleaners and cleaning services in town, and our customers who come to us after another company often tell us they only noticed the gutters once the rain started. The professional window cleaning we do is built around the same two visits each year, so the schedule stays the same from one season to the next. Keeping up with curb appeal is easier when the schedule is set in advance.
Two signs tell you it is time. The first is haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The second is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain, which means the runs are holding leaves or the slope has shifted. Left alone, clogged gutters push water behind the fascia and into the wall, and that kind of water damage is far more expensive than a cleaning.
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 keep a regular route around Post Falls and clean residential properties across the city. Residential and commercial inquiries start with the same phone estimate. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before we set a date. Multi-story buildings get the same step, stories first, then the quote. Condos are quoted from the stories and window count too. Lead time is listed on our scheduling page, and it stretches in the two busy windows of the year when leaves are heaviest.
Our calendar fills first in the spring and again in the fall, so booking early keeps your slot. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and we will confirm the date before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. We take care of every window on the outside of the house, including the sill, so the job is finished in one pass. Ask us to schedule service for the whole house, and the crew will cover every window and gutter run in that visit.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass in one visit. We do the gutters first so the runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text or call (866) 435-6328 with those details and we will give you the figure before we book.
On our Post Falls jobs the outside carries most of the grime: rain dust and sprinkler spots. Many window cleaning services work inside first, but cleaning the inside alone leaves the film that builds up on the exterior glass.
Across Idaho the spring visit runs late May to June, and our Post Falls customers usually add late October or November, after the leaves have dropped.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, which is how we remove dirt before the glass is touched, let the wall drip off, and only then clean the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the outside of the house.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing, and if you need other washing services, ask when you book.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
