Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing from the roofline runs down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Anacortes jobs most customers book it in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf loads build up. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder.
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 give you a number from your stories and your approximate window count, and that number is the number we charge on the day. Booking gutter cleaning and our window washing services in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the bundle price is quoted up front so you can compare it with what you were planning to spend. Quotes for interior and exterior glass are separate, and this visit covers exterior glass only.
On the roof, what moves the quote is what the crew finds. A third story or a steep pitch takes longer to reach safely. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavier and need more time. Packed needles, seeds and leaves in the downspout elbows add a step, and guards we have to lift and reseat add another. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove, so we flag it on the first visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our Anacortes jobs show how this plays out. One house on a sloped lot with a lot of grime on the picture windows was quoted from its stories and window count, and the crew flagged the sprinkler spotting before work began so the owner knew what cleaning would and would not fix. Across Washington, the fastest way to get the exact number is to send the number of stories, a count of the windows, and a photo of the front of the house by text. Regular cleanings keep the charge down over time, because the glass and gutters do not build up the way they do after a long gap. Our crew takes the same care on every window, whether it is a single residential window or a row of picture windows.

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 Anacortes customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. Across Washington, the calendar runs the same way: spring to clear the seed and pollen, fall to clear the leaves before the wet months. Both visits run on one calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most houses.
In the spring we find a yellow film on south-facing glass and seed paste packed into the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see clogged gutters and sagging runs by winter. Gutters that stay clogged for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia and the siding below. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks, so we book around the forecast rather than the calendar alone. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that sprays the glass, or a house near a busy road often needs a third visit, because the dirt and grit come back between cleanings.
Some of our customers stay on two visits a year with no trees over the roof. Others with heavy shade or sprinkler spotting book three or four visits so the glass does not haze over. Cleaning solutions will not lift the mineral film a sprinkler leaves behind, so that spotting needs its own treatment. The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. Residential and commercial buildings both follow this pattern, though multi-story buildings usually need more planning for the lift.
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.
Our cleaning services cover the gutters and the outside glass across Anacortes, and we handle window cleaning services for customers who want one visit for both jobs. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. Give us the number of stories and a rough window count, and we send a quote before we book a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when the seed and the leaves come down. If you want a date in those weeks, book early, because the open slots go quickly. Anyone who wants professional window cleaning on a regular schedule can set that up when they book, and we keep the same crew on the same house so it knows the building. We work the outside of every window and keep the sill and frame clean along the way. Curb appeal depends on that glass, so the crew books around the weather rather than forcing a cleaning in the rain.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. They clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so the dirty water from the roofline does not run onto clean windows.
We quote residential properties and condos the same way, from the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front, and we will reply with a written estimate.
On the houses in Anacortes the outside carries most of the grime: seed film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting. Rain alone does not remove dirt from a residential window, so the outside needs a visit even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, when the seed and the leaves build up. Across Washington the same two windows apply, so book early if you want a date in the busy weeks.
Not if the order is right. We clean the gutters first and rinse the wall before anyone touches the glass, because the grit and black water in the runoff from the roofline would otherwise run down the panes below.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit, and none of that is billed as an extra. Tracks are included with the window work.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. Windows inside are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
