The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing blown off the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Artondale customers book this in spring and fall, and we can tell you the exact number before we come 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, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs change the work, so a third story costs more than a single level. Our window cleaning services are quoted from that same count, and window washing on a single level costs less than on a three-story house. The washing services on your estimate are listed by line, so you can see what each one costs.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass is a separate question, and windows inside the house are not part of this visit; on this visit we clean only the exterior, so picture windows and the outside of every window are what we quote.
On our Artondale jobs the houses that take longer are the ones where the gutters have gone unopened for a long time and the glass sits under a sprinkler line. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count, and we will reply with a written estimate. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, because the grime stays light and the crew spends its time on the glass instead of the downspouts.

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 Artondale customers book both twice a year, in the spring and fall, which is why one crew and one visit makes sense on the same calendar. The same window and gutter schedule works for residential and commercial buildings, so one calendar fits both. In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters, and in fall the leaf load and wet leaf mat take over the runs. Our fall visit in Artondale usually lands late November to December, after most of the leaves are down.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around them rather than on a fixed day. Across Washington, atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts bring the heaviest storms, and Artondale gets about 42 inches of precipitation a year, with its wettest months in January, November and December. That runoff is the reason gutters need a visit ahead of winter. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a home near a busy road often need a third visit, because the spots that come back a day after cleaning and the debris that packs the downspouts build up faster there. Clogged gutters are the first sign that a run needs another visit, and water damage at the fascia is what happens when they go too long.
Windows need a cleaning when you notice a haze you only see when the sun is low, and gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain. Only the spots that need it get our cleaning solutions, and the rest of the pane is rinsed with purified water. Multi-story buildings and homes with a lot of glass benefit most from keeping to the same schedule, so the crew comes out before the buildup, not after.
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 cleaned windows and gutters across Artondale, and most of our calls come from the residential streets where curb appeal matters on the front of the house. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will confirm a window with you. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early booking in spring or fall gets the slot you want. Each residential window on the outside of the house is counted into the quote before we confirm the day.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our professional window cleaning crew works from the outside, so you can keep the house running as usual. Our cleaning services are booked the same way for every house, and our window cleaners clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill, and we confirm the schedule before the truck leaves the yard. For a quote on the whole house, ask for a written estimate that lists each job by line.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
We do not quote a figure by text; the number comes from the stories and the window count, which we confirm by phone or a photo of the house front.
On our Artondale jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so a residential window is usually dirtiest on the glass that faces the weather. A cleaning is how you remove dirt from that outside pane, and the inside can wait.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff and leaves are cleared before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included unless they need a separate visit.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing. Owners of condos and residential properties get the same outside-only visit, with the price set from the window count.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
