Yes, the same two people clean the 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 together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across New Mexico, most of our calls come in for the spring and fall visits, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number from your stories and window count.
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.
The package numbers above show the starting price for each house size, but the number we give you depends on the house itself. The bundle is one visit, so it costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions go on only the sill grime and pollen film that water alone will not lift, and they are included in the price.
Stories and roof pitch decide most of the time on the ladder. A steep roof or a third story means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and we count that in the quote. Multi-story buildings add time for every floor, so the quote counts each one. Window count matters too, along with oversized picture windows, which take more time on the outside because the pane is larger and harder to reach from the ground. Residential and commercial buildings get the same questions: stories, window count, and what is in the gutters. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with needles and leaves, and that adds time to every run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel, which we quote before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: cleaning does not remove it, and we flag it on the visit so you know what the glass needs.
When you call, give us the number of stories and the approximate window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. That is enough for us to quote the job. Our quote covers the outside only, so interior and exterior glass never share one price on this visit. The number of window cleanings you book in a year changes the per-visit cost, which is why we ask how often the house needs service before we give a figure. Regular cleanings keep the gutters clear between visits and make each later visit faster.
| 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 New Mexico, most customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on a Carlsbad house. Spring and fall each bring their own mess to the glass and the gutters, and most of our cleaning services are booked around those two windows.
Across New Mexico, late May into June is when the pollen comes down, and it settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters. Professional window cleaning in that stretch clears the film before it bakes into the pane. By fall the leaf load builds up, and the wet leaf mat is what clogs the downspouts. Clogged gutters that sit through winter are how water damage starts at the fascia, which costs far more than a cleaning. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a lot near a busy road or construction tend to need a third visit, because the grit and the spotting keep coming back between cleanings.
The signs are simple. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect. If you see either sign, you are past due, and the crew will tell you what your lot needs at 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.
Our crew cleans gutters and windows across the city, and we book the window and gutter cleaning as one job so you get the full exterior on one visit. Every residential window on the house goes on the list, from the ground floor up. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate at (866) 435-6328: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will confirm the date and the arrival window the day before, and we call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the photos of every run and the finished glass go to your phone before we leave. The busy stretch is late spring and late fall, when our calendar fills, so book early if you know which visit you need. Our crew handles residential properties and clean windows on every visit, and we schedule service around the weather rather than rushing a wet day.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff from the gutters does not land on the clean windows. That order is the reason we do both in one visit.
We give the number on the phone or by text, from the stories, the approximate window count and what is in the gutters. Our window cleaning services are priced on that number, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice, with no extras added after the visit.
On our Carlsbad jobs the outside carries most of the grime, from pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Regular visits remove dirt before it builds into a film, and clean outside glass shows the dirt less between cleanings, which keeps the house looking cared for.
Across New Mexico, late May into June and then fall are the common times, after the pollen drops and after the leaves come down. Spring and fall are when most customers book.
No, as long as the gutters and downspouts are cleared first. Gutters first, glass last keeps the grit and black water from running down the wall and across the windows we just finished.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the exterior job, so none of them show up as an add-on line. Frames are wiped too, which is part of every window we clean. Our washing services stop at the exterior glass, frames and sills.
Not on this visit. We clean the outside only, and the windows inside the house are not part of the gutter and window job. Pressure washing is not included either.
No, you do not need to be home. Owners of condos should check with the association before the outside work is booked. 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.
