The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the roof ends up on clean glass. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking two separate trips. On our Auburn jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, so you can plan around the seasons we see most.
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 residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our washing services start at a price that depends on size, and we give exact figures only after we know your home. Your estimate covers the full job, including window and gutter cleaning in one visit. Cleaning solutions for frames and sills are part of the quote, not a separate charge. The quote covers exterior glass only, and windows inside the house are a separate booking, so interior and exterior work is priced as two separate tasks. If your property is a residential and commercial mix, tell us when you call so we can size it before the visit.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. Three-story houses and steep roofs take longer to reach. Large picture windows and oversized panes take more time and care. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, the kind that have not been cleaned in years, need extra work, and a run that holds water can point to water damage we flag before we start. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a mineral layer, not grime, and it does not come off with regular cleanings, so we will tell you before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On a two-story house with a large front window wall and a gutter line full of leaves and pollen, the quote moves once the crew can see the roof. Then they can give an exact number. For your home, the fastest way to get that number is to send us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. Pollen and debris buildup are the main reasons a clean gutter can run dirty again, and we factor that in before we quote.
| 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 Auburn customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in the late spring and once in the fall. Professional window cleaning and gutter work done together make sense for a home here. On our jobs, the spring visit is when pollen and seed debris have settled in the gutters and across south-facing glass. In fall, the leaf load is what we see most, and our fall visit runs November to early December, as the wettest months of the year begin.
Across Washington, atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts drive the storm season, and some years that season moves the dates. Multi-story buildings and houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, or a sprinkler line that hits the glass, often need a third visit. Auburn averages 54.9 inches of precipitation a year, with the heaviest rain in January, November and December. Sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are a sign the water line needs adjusting, and we will say so on the visit.
Haze on the glass takes away curb appeal, and you notice it most when the sun is low. Water sheeting over the edge in rain is the sign that clogged gutters need a visit, and left alone that water can cause water damage at the fascia. Freeze risk is real here in winter, and ice in a clogged run holds water against the house.
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 crew covers residential properties across Auburn and can reach most neighborhoods here. To schedule service, call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We will give you a time window and confirm by phone before we arrive. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but a quick note about gate access and parked cars helps us reach every window and gutter run. Condos get the same outside glass and gutter work as a house, as long as the crew can reach the run.
Our calendar tends to fill fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall visits. Book early if you want a specific date. We clean every residential window reachable from the outside, including the sill and frame, and we flush each downspout so water runs clear. Purified water is how we remove dirt from the glass without leaving streaks. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, so the runoff from the roof never reaches the clean windows.
Yes. Our washing services cover gutters and glass in one visit, and most window cleaners skip the gutters entirely. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass, so the runoff from the roof never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and gutters and downspouts are quoted in the same estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate.
Yes. On our jobs, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt before it builds, and clean windows let more light in and keep the frame and sill from holding grime. Windows inside the house are a separate booking.
Most of our customers book in late spring and in fall, the two periods when pollen and leaves build up most. Condos count too, and you can text a photo of the roofline to get your slot.
No, that is why we go gutters first, glass last. Clearing the runs and flushing the downspouts first means the roof runoff is gone before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they can be reached from the outside.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are a separate booking, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. Book a date with us by calling (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
