Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Our crew has done this work on Alderwood Manor homes for years, and most of our customers book it for the spring and fall. Tell us your stories and an approximate window count, and we will 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 our window cleaning services 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of picture windows and oversized panes with grime on the lower sash, gutters that have not been cleaned 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. Each of those changes the time on the ladder and the glass, so we look at them before we name a price for the window washing and washing services on your house.
Every house is its own job, so the quickest route to a firm figure is a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house. If you book regular cleanings, we check the dirt on the glass at the repeat visit before we give a new number, since a lighter load takes less time on the ladder. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this visit covers the exterior only. Nothing changes between the quote and the invoice unless you ask for more work.
| 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 Alderwood Manor customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. We find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters during the spring visit, and a wet leaf load in the fall. Storm seasons across Washington can shift the dates by a few weeks, so we plan the visit around the weather rather than the calendar, and clogged gutters after a storm get looked at first.
Some houses need a third visit, and for those, regular cleanings every few months make more sense than the twice-a-year plan. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house close to a busy road or construction all tend to put gutters and windows back into the dirt faster. The same logic holds for residential and commercial properties, and for multi-story buildings with a lot of glass, which need more time on the ladder or the lift. On those jobs, our customers are often on a three or four month schedule. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, so that is a different problem from dirt, and we flag it on the visit.
Two signs tell you it is time. One is a haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low. The other is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain, which means the gutters are full and water is not getting to the downspouts, and that water can run down the siding and cause water damage. Our crew can look at either one and tell you what it is, and whether one of our cleaning solutions or a plain water rinse will fix it. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so both signs are outside problems.
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 our crews by the stories and window count on the estimate, and the first step is a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text to our office with those numbers and a photo of the house front. Our window cleaning services start with that estimate, and every window on the house gets the same care. Once we have the estimate, we book the visit and call before we come, so nobody has to wait around for a truck. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and our crew does not come inside.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking early gives you more choice of dates. Outside those windows, we can usually fit a visit in on a shorter lead time, and we will tell you the honest lead time when you call. If your property is one of the condos or multi-story buildings we clean, tell us so we can plan the access before the crew arrives. Each sill is wiped during the visit, so the low edge of the glass is not skipped.
We work on residential and commercial properties, and our crews clean the glass and gutters at a level that holds up season after season. Professional window cleaning is what we do, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal on the street side of the house. Our window cleaners are the same two people who run the gutter work, so nobody hands the job off halfway through. If you want us to schedule service on a regular cycle, we keep the notes from each visit so the next crew knows exactly where the problem spots are. Gutter and window cleaning on your home should be a simple booking, and that is how we run it.
Yes, our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff does not hit clean windows.
We give the price by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house, and the same method applies to residential properties across our area. We do not quote from a set chart, because every house is different.
Yes. The outside of the glass takes the rain dust, the sprinkler spots and the film from the street, and the windows inside the house do not get that. Cleaning the outside alone changes how the house looks in the sun.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall. The spring visit deals with the film that builds up on the glass and gutters, and the fall visit is for leaves and wet debris, and storms can move the date.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff and debris from the gutters never reach glass we have already cleaned. That order is the reason we do both jobs in the same visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included in the standard visit. Rinsing the screen is how we remove dirt from the mesh. Those are not billed as extras.
Our visit is exterior only, and each residential window gets the outside pass. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit. Condos get the same outside pass, and we confirm the access before the crew arrives.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside 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.
