The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across New Mexico, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and that is when we see the bulk of the work.
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.

Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of windows or picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and 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 the job and are not billed as extras.
Window washing on a house is done from the ground with a water-fed pole where the glass is reachable, and professional window cleaning on taller multi-story buildings is done from a boom or scissor lift. Clean gutters and clean glass together do more for curb appeal than either job alone, and windows inside are not part of this price, which we say on the estimate. Residue left on the glass from a past service, or grime that builds up between visits, is part of what we clear on the regular route. Water damage from a gutter that has overflowed onto siding and frames is something we photograph and report, not something we bill as cleaning. Ask for the written estimate before anyone is scheduled.

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.
On our South Valley jobs most of our customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes. Our cleaning services follow two calendar windows: across New Mexico the spring visit runs late May to June, and the fall visit runs late October to November.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters, and the downspouts are the first place it backs up. Storm and wind season can move both dates, and we will call before we come.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than a quiet street. For a residential window that gets this kind of exposure, regular cleanings on a route that matches it beat a fixed twice-a-year plan. Schedule service early in the spring window, because the calendar fills quickly. We can clean every window on the house in the same visit as the gutters, and we set the route so the sill and frame get the same care as the pane.
Windows need a cleaning when you see haze only in low sun, usually in the afternoon, because clean windows do not show that film at all. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge during 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.
We work across the South Valley area and book the crew around the calendar of each neighborhood. The estimate starts with a phone call or a text, with your number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the date after that. Lead time is set by the current schedule and we give you the actual slot when we call. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen drop and the fall leaf fall. In those weeks the calendar fills, so booking early keeps your slot. Outside those windows there is usually room on the route.
We serve residential properties, and our crew also handles the washing services and window cleaning services that condos and multi-unit buildings need, scheduled per building. The runoff from a clogged gutter is what leaves the grime on the wall below, and the crew clears both at once so you are not paying for two visits to remove dirt from the same spot. Residential and commercial jobs both follow the same gutters-first order.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last so the dirty water does not run back onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and a photo of the front of the house, and you get a written estimate.
It is, because the outside takes the most. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass here, and the interior does not pick any of that up.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, after the seed drop and again after the leaf fall. Across New Mexico the pattern is the same, so the calendar fills early in both windows.
No, as long as the gutters are done first. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is the last thing we touch on the house.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, using purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and the tracks are included in the same visit. None of it shows up as a separate line item.
We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Our price covers exterior glass only, so if you want interior and exterior glass done, ask for that quote separately. The gutters and downspouts are handled by the same crew.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
