Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and downspouts and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean panes. 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. Across Montana, most of our customers book spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 for your figure.
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.

On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it adds time. The residential window count matters, and so do oversized panes that need a boom or scissor lift to reach. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and every gutter guard we have to lift and reseat adds time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with ordinary cleaning solutions, so we flag it on the visit rather than promise a result we cannot deliver.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. We do not bill them as extras. If a building has clogged gutters, water damage showing on the fascia or trim, or multi-story buildings that need a longer setup, we tell you before the crew starts, and the quote holds once the work begins.
Across Montana, text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and roughly how many windows, and we will send your exact figure. We use the photo to count every window and size the job, not to upsell it. Window washing and professional window cleaning are the same crew doing the same outside glass, and window cleaners in Helena quote residential properties from the same three inputs. Curb appeal from clean glass and clean gutters shows up fastest on the front of the house, so that is where we start.
We do not do windows inside on this visit, only the exterior glass. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs for us, and this quote covers the outside.
| 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 Montana, most of our customers book our cleaning services twice a year, in late June to July and again in late September to October, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both.
What we find at each visit depends on the calendar. In late June to July, the pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters, so that visit clears the most residue and leaves the most clean windows going into summer. In late September to October, the leaf load comes down and packs the downspouts, and that is when we check for sagging runs before the freeze. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book the visit when the glass and the gutters actually need it rather than on a fixed reminder.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and picture windows show every one of them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the rest. Those are the houses where we suggest a third visit, and we say so on the first estimate.
Schedule service with us by phone or text, and we will tell you which pattern your house follows. Regular cleanings on that pattern keep the gutters clear, and once we have been on the roof, the answer is usually obvious from what the gutters hold.
You will know the windows need cleaning when every window on the south side shows a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into 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 provides gutter cleaning and window washing services across Helena, and the calendar is the same across the city. The crew's job is to remove dirt from the gutters and the glass, in that order. We serve residential and commercial customers. Most of the work is houses, with a steady share of condos and multi-story buildings that need the boom or scissor lift. We also clean the outside of commercial storefronts and office windows, but that is a separate estimate.
Booking for window cleaning services starts with a quote by phone or text at (866) 435-6328. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number before the crew is scheduled. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book. In the two busy windows of the year, spring pollen and fall leaves, the calendar fills first, so the earlier you call, the sooner the crew can come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass, so you can see the grime that came off before the truck leaves.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two people clean the gutters first and the exterior glass second, in one visit, so nothing is washed twice.
We do not give a figure in writing without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between cleanings. Clean inside glass does not help if the outside is hazy from the sun.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Spring clears the pollen and the paste in the gutters, and fall clears the leaves before the freeze.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the leaves and grit run down the wall and across the panes below, and someone has to wash them again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. We do not bill them as extras. Tracks are cleaned on the exterior side where we can reach them.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass, and we do not do pressure washing of siding or decks.
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.
