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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Idaho, we have found that the spring and fall visits are when homeowners most often book the pair, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 on residential properties by the number of stories and the count of every window. Our window cleaning services cost less when the window washing and the gutter work are booked as one visit, because the same crew and the same ladder setup cover both. The number we quote over the phone or by text is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras.
Most of the grime we pull off a house is the runoff that builds up behind the fascia and on the glass below it. When we get to condos or to a house that has gone a long time without attention, we spend more time on the gutters and downspouts before the glass is touched, and that shows up in the number. Clearing the gutter lip first is how we remove dirt before it reaches the glass. Sprinkler spotting is the one thing that adds a separate line, because it sits in the glass and needs a mineral treatment that a regular wash will not touch.
Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the stories counted and a photo of the front of the house. We will tell you what the crew expects to find before anyone climbs a ladder, so you are not surprised by the total.

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 homeowners who book both services do it twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that calendar is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the job. The same schedule suits residential and commercial buildings, though the calendar follows the building rather than the date.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters, so the spring visit starts with mild cleaning solutions and a gutter flush. In fall, the leaf load is the main problem. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we book from what the house looks like rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house with picture windows that sits close to a busy road or a construction site all tend to build up faster than average. On those jobs, the regular cleanings go in the middle of the season, not only at the usual two visits.
Haze you only notice when the sun is low is the sign that clean windows are due for a visit. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 provides cleaning services to homeowners across the region, and the easiest way to start is an estimate by phone or text. The same two people work as window cleaners and gutter cleaners on one visit, so you deal with one team. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a time window.
Booking fills up in the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar gets tight. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will call before we come so you know when to expect us. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The same crew handles multi-story buildings, with the water-fed pole reaching the upper floors, and every residential window in reach gets done from the same setup.
Gutter and window cleaning is also a useful way to protect curb appeal on a home that sees a lot of weather, and it helps catch clogged gutters before they lead to water damage at the fascia. Professional window cleaning on its own misses the gutter line, which is why we do both. Our crew cleans the outside of the windows and the gutters from ladders and a water-fed pole, so the job stays exterior only: the windows inside are not part of the visit, and interior and exterior work is a separate job.
Yes. We are the same two people, and we do the gutters first and the glass last on the same visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range here.
Yes, because the outside of the glass carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up between visits, and the glass stays clean longer when the outside is done.
Across Idaho, most homeowners book in spring and in fall, and that is when our calendar fills up.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the windows. Gutters first, glass last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock any side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 to book the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
