Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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. On our Bothell jobs most customers book it in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, so the glass and the gutters are cleaned together while the work is fresh.
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.

On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: multi-story buildings with a third story or a steep roof, a residential window count with 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, and we say so before we start.
On our Bothell jobs the quotes that run highest tend to come from houses with several stories and heavy window grime built up over a long gap between cleanings. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will reply with the figure to expect. Ask about the window washing services we offer and the window cleaning services we include, then compare that to the interior and exterior glass you care about, since our crew stays outside. Regular cleanings keep the grime from building up, which keeps each visit simple, and picture windows are quoted by size as they come up on the list.
| 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 Bothell customers book both twice a year, once in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring brings the pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky tree residue packed into the gutters, and fall brings the leaf load, the wet mat on the roofline and the runoff that streaks the wall below.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring visit the window and gutter jobs are mostly tree residue, and the downspout elbows are where it collects. In fall the leaf mat is the problem, and on houses we skipped in the fall we often find runs that sagged under the weight of wet debris. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book by the weather as well as the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits, a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and houses and condos near a busy road or a construction site collect more grime than the others. We use cleaning solutions sparingly on the glass and rinse them off completely, so the frame and sill come back clean as well. Clogged gutters are also where water damage starts, so a house with a clogged run should move to the earlier visit.
You can tell the glass needs it when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 Bothell, and you can get on the calendar by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting a photo of the front of the house with your stories and window count. We will give you an estimate from that and set a date. Our window cleaners and gutter crew work the same route, so the cleaning services arrive together and the professional window cleaning is done by the people who clean the gutters above it.
When the calendar fills in the spring and fall windows, lead time gets longer, so booking early is the easiest way to get the slot you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. A curb appeal job is only as good as the frame and sill it finishes with, so we wipe every window and every sill, and we schedule service so each window gets a full pass, enough to remove dirt that a quick rinse leaves behind.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty gutter water from running down onto glass we have just cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front and we will tell you what to expect. The figures on this page are for residential properties, so if the building is residential and commercial, ask us about it before you book.
On our Bothell jobs the outside carries the spring film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so it is often the part that looks dirtiest. The inside is a separate job that we do not do on this visit.
Our customers here most often book in spring and in fall, after the spring growth and the leaves come down. We can plan around storms and wind as well.
No, because the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first and the wall is given time to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass. That is the reason for the order we work in.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included as part of the window clean, and nothing is billed as an extra.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
