The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips.
Most of our Rio Rancho customers book both jobs together, and we work the same way on every house we clean. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we give you the number on the phone.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking the gutters and the exterior windows together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The bundle saving shows up as its own line when we quote, so you can see it before you book.
Four things move a quote on our jobs. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a roof too steep to walk means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass, and picture windows take longer than standard sashes. Clogged gutters that nobody has opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear than a run cleaned every season. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and that adds time.
Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing on the list that cleaning does not remove. Cleaning does remove dirt and grime, but if the spots are etched into the glass, we say so on the visit and quote a separate mineral treatment; they are not part of the window cleaning price. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a single-story house with a standard window count, the job is a short morning and the quote is usually the simplest one we write. Two stories, more glass and a full gutter run is where the bundle saving matters most. To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count, and we come back with a written estimate before anyone books a date. The window and gutter cleaning rate is set once we have seen the roofline and counted the stories.
The spring season and the rain that follows it are the reason many jobs are heavier than the house looks from the street. Pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters can add time on a spring visit, and we note it when we quote. Cleaning solutions are matched to the glass and the frame, and we use the same purified water rinse on every pane, so the finish dries without streaks. Residential and commercial jobs use the same method; the difference is the scheduling, not the glass.
Picture windows, large fixed panes and multi-pane sash windows cost more time per window than a standard double-hung. Regular cleanings every season cost less per visit than one deep cleaning after a long gap, because the grime does not build up on the glass or in the gutter. Our crews do the same work on each visit, so the standing quote holds from one cleaning to the next when the house has not changed.
| 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.
Most of our Rio Rancho customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the spring visit falls late May to June and the fall visit November to early December.
On the spring visit we find film on the south-facing glass and paste packed in the gutter elbows. On the fall visit the leaf load is the main thing, a wet mat that sits in the runs and drags runoff over the edge. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, so we book against the calendar of the house, not a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and those customers are on a three to four month schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, which is a sign the sprinkler needs adjusting rather than another cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a fine grime on the glass faster than a quiet street. Gutters that overflow every rain are how water damage starts along the fascia, so a run that sheets water over the edge gets a visit sooner.
Window cleaning is the part that matters most for curb appeal. If the glass looks hazy only when the sun is low in the afternoon, that is the sign it has built up and is due. Gutters tell you a different way: water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout is the sign they are full.
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 clean residential properties across Rio Rancho, condos included. Professional window cleaning and window and gutter cleaning are booked the same way on every house. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we tell you what the visit will cost and when we can come. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed on the call rather than promised ahead of time.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when the dust and the leaves arrive together. Book before those windows if you can, because we schedule service by the day and a full week leaves no open slots. Outside those windows there is more room, and a booked date usually holds even if the weather turns.
We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside, and the visit ends with photos of every window and every gutter run sent to your phone. For a residential window that is clean on the outside and a gutter that drains properly, that is the whole visit, and you end with clean windows and a clear gutter.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and gutters always go first. We run the window cleaning services and the gutter washing services together so the crew is not on your roof twice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before you book. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house, because a two-story house with a full gutter run and many windows costs more than one with a short run and few. The bundle is cheaper than two trips.
On our Rio Rancho jobs, yes, because the outside carries a film of dust, rain grime and sprinkler spots. Those build up on the glass between visits and the inside never touches them. Windows inside that look clean do not hide a hazy outside.
Most of our customers here book in late May or June for the spring visit, and in November or early December for the fall visit. Booking before those windows keeps your date open. If you are unsure, the stories and a photo of the house get you a date on the phone.
No, because gutters go first and the glass goes last. We clear the gutters and downspouts before anyone touches a pane, since the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall and across any window below. The glass is washed only after the gutters are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned on the same visit when they are reachable from the outside. Nothing on this list shows up as a separate line on the invoice.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on it. If you want interior and exterior glass done, tell us when you book and we note it on the quote.
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. That is the whole list, and the crew brings its own water and power.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
