The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips.
Across Washington, most of the homes we clean are on a spring and fall schedule, and our crew books that calendar the same way every season.
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, both cleaned in one visit is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately, and 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.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a longer setup. A large window count or oversized panes add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are quoted before we start. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove, and we say so before the work begins. Cleaning the windows inside the house is not part of the price, so the quote covers the outside glass only.
Across Washington, the fastest way to get the exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Window cleaners who work by the pane have their own counts, but on our jobs the quote comes from the whole house, including the professional window cleaning that gets the glass clean and the gutter work that keeps water damage off the frame. Window washing on a house this size is priced as one visit, not a pane-by-pane count. Our crew checks the roofline on the call so the curb appeal of the finished house matches what we quoted, and the clogged gutters are cleared before any glass is touched. Multi-story buildings and homes with picture windows take more time, and that is built into the number you get.
| 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.
Across Washington, most of our customers book both gutters and exterior glass twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit fits the calendar. Each visit the crew checks every window on the house and the gutters above them for what the season left behind, and a residential window with grit on it gets the same attention as the top-floor glass. The sill gets wiped too.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and forms a paste in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a hanger over winter. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we schedule service around the weather rather than a fixed calendar day.
Some houses need a third visit from our cleaning services crew. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning. Residential properties close to a busy road or active construction collect more grime on the outside of the glass. On these, we suggest a third visit and tell you why.
Watch for two signs between visits. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low is the sign that clean windows are due again. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter during rain means the gutters are full or the slope is wrong.
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 book by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm a time window. The lead time is listed on the booking page, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner. Text the photo of the roofline and we will tell you whether a single visit covers it or whether the gutters and the glass need separate days. If you live in one of the condos, send the building name and your floor, and we will say whether the gutters and glass on your side fit one visit.
We clean gutters and downspouts, remove dirt and grime from glass, and treat runoff from the roof before it reaches the foundation. Our crew also does washing services and window cleaning services for the exterior of residential properties, and we keep the schedule service on the same calendar so every window and gutter run gets the same attention.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the water from the roof does not run back onto clean panes.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text before we book. If the building is residential and commercial, mention it on the call so we can say whether the visit fits.
Only the outside. Usually the outside is where the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect, so the glass looks dull from the street even when the inside is clean. Picture windows get the same rinse as the rest of the glass. We rinse with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without streaks.
Across Washington, most of our customers book regular cleanings in spring and again in fall, after the spring grime builds up and after the leaves come down.
No. Gutters come first, then the downspouts are flushed and the wall gets a few minutes to drain before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass and the gutters only, and we do not clean the windows inside the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 to confirm the window.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
