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 dirty lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Ridge jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, which is when leaves and grit build up. To book, call (866) 435-6328 and we give you a firm number before the crew comes out.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories, roof pitch and window count set most of the quote on residential properties, so we ask for those first. Those same numbers set the price for our window washing services, whether you book the glass alone or both jobs.
Several things move the quote on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows take more care per pane. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years arrive packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with regular cleanings. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We quote the exterior only, so a request for interior and exterior glass is priced as a separate job.
On a recent Ridge job, the quote came up because of the second story and the window count, not the gutters alone. The crew flushed every downspout and found the outside glass carrying a film of grime that a single wipe would not lift. Our window cleaning services are quoted from a photo, so there is no surprise on the day. If you text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories, we can give you an exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. That is the fastest way to get a real number for your house.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 Ridge customers book window and gutter cleanings twice a year, once in late May or June and once in late October or November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In late spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In late fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits on the roof and in the gutter runs. Pollen and leaves hit residential and commercial buildings on the same calendar, so these dates work as a guide for both. Where a film needs more than rinsing, the crew uses cleaning solutions on the glass. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we work from the calendar that suits the house.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters, and clogged gutters overflow in the first heavy rain. Multi-story buildings with tall glass need more time on the ladder, and the top-floor glass is slower to reach. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and regular cleanings will not remove them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the outside of the windows. If your house falls into one of those cases, we will tell you after the first visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, or spots that return after rain. Gutters tell you too, usually when water sheets over the edge during a heavy rain, and that overflow is what lets water damage reach the fascia below. Both signs mean it is time to book. Our crew can check both on the same visit, and the photos show you exactly what we found.
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 have worked across Ridge on both gutters and exterior glass, and the crew can usually confirm a slot after a short phone call. Our professional window cleaning and gutter work share one visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We use that to give you a firm estimate and a date. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, so booking early keeps your preferred date open.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before we come and sends photos once the job is done. Our window cleaning services cover the gutters and downspouts and every window on the outside of the house, with the sill wiped as part of the visit. The crew clears the gutters and flushes the downspouts to remove dirt before the glass is touched. Clean gutters and glass also do a lot for curb appeal. Homeowners who want a single crew for the whole outside of the house find it simpler than booking two companies.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff never reaches the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and the number of stories and we will quote the job before the crew comes out. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and window count.
Yes, because the outside of each residential window carries the rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up here. Cleaning only the inside leaves that film on the glass, and it shows most in low sun.
Most of our Ridge customers book in late spring and in late fall, once the leaves and grit have built up. If you want a date in those windows, call early to schedule service.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flushing every downspout, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the windows. That order keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit, which helps remove dirt from every edge. We do not bill them as extras.
No, we do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. We clean the exterior of the windows and the gutters only.
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 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.
