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 down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work across New Mexico for years, and on our Portales jobs most customers book it for the spring and fall.
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 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 two cleanings separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and a residential and commercial building is quoted on the same stories-and-window-count basis.
On the day, the crew finds a handful of things that change the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count take longer to reach and wipe. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, need more hand work before the water can run through. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line does not come off with a cleaning at all, so we flag it and quote a separate treatment if you want it. Picture windows and multi-story buildings in the same yard add their own setup time, and we say so before we start. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers the exterior only.
On a Portales job we look at the stories, the window count and the gutter condition first. For a customer we cleaned here, the quote moved because the back run sat under a tree line and was packed with leaves, which added a second pass before the glass. Your number will come from your own house: send a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the number of stories, and we will give you the exact figure before anyone climbs a ladder. A house on regular cleanings usually needs less hand work each visit, so the quote tends to come down after the first one.
| 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, the usual pattern is two visits a year, once in late May to June and again in late October to November. That schedule is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense, and it is the rhythm our regular cleanings follow.
In late spring the downspout elbows are packed with seeds and pollen paste, and the south-facing glass carries a pollen film you can see in the morning light. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the gutters and the rain dust that settles on the frames. Across New Mexico the monsoon puts most of the year's rain down in short, violent cells, and clogged gutters during those storms are how water damage gets into the fascia and the wall behind it. Runoff from a dirty roof also leaves stains on the wall, so a visit before the storm season is the easiest way to remove dirt before it sets on the glass. We call before we come, so the date can move with the weather.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass. Multi-story buildings with the same problem need the ladder work done again, and on those houses our crew suggests three or four visits a year rather than two, so the curb appeal holds up.
Two signs tell you it is time for windows. The first is haze you only see when the sun is low. The second, for gutters, is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either one, book professional window cleaning now, because a visit now is cheaper than waiting for the next scheduled date.
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 handles residential window and gutter jobs across the city, and residential properties are a regular part of the schedule. Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you one number for the window and gutter cleaning. To schedule service, we take the next open slot, and the lead time is set by our calendar that week, so we give you the date when we confirm. Some window cleaners quote the glass alone, but we quote both jobs together.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. In those weeks our calendar fills, so the earlier you call, the sooner we can come. Outside those windows there is usually room for the next available date. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come so the crew arrives when expected.
Our goal is clean windows and clear gutters in one visit, and we aim to clear the gutters and downspouts before anyone starts on the glass. Professional window cleaning and gutter work both finish before we leave. The crew checks the sill on every window, and if a window cannot be reached safely from the ground or the ladder, we say so and leave it out of the price.
Yes, our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and finish with the glass, so the dirty water does not run onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the gutter condition. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure in writing before the visit.
On a Portales house the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that grime is what the street sees, so cleaning the outside is what makes the glass look clearer. Our window washing services cover the exterior only, and interior glass is a separate job we quote on request.
Across New Mexico the usual windows are late May to June and late October to November, so book the first one that comes after your last cleaning. When should I book if my gutters were cleaned recently? If they were cleaned recently, wait for the next window unless you see clogged gutters or water sheeting over the edge, and then call us about your house.
No, gutters first, glass last. Runoff from the roof and gutters is cleared before anyone touches the glass, and the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included in the visit. Condos get the same exterior service, priced by stories and window count.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before so the crew can remove dirt from dry glass, 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.
