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. Most of our Centralia customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves build up on the house.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Doing the two cleanings in one visit comes in below booking the jobs separately, and the exact saving shows on your quote. Our window and gutter cleaning jobs start from a quoted figure, and the final number depends on what the crew finds on the day. The count works the same way for residential and commercial buildings, but this page covers the residential window and gutter work on homes. Our washing services use cleaning solutions for sills and frames, and that is part of the job, not an extra. The quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are not bundled into one price.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the boom or scissor lift. A large window count, or oversized picture windows, adds glass to wash. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Regular cleanings keep the count lower, because a house cleaned each season has less built-up debris. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another line item, because cleaning alone will not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Get the exact number by calling (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count, then book a date. We have cleaned many houses with the same mix of trees and glass, and a photo lets us see the roofline before anyone climbs a ladder. Another good starting point is to check the gutters after a heavy rain and note any water sheeting over the edge.

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 Centralia customers book these cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on this calendar. In spring, we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall, it is the leaf load that matters most, along with the wind and storm seasons that shift the dates from year to year. Some window cleaners quote the glass alone, but ours bundles in the gutters.
Some houses need a third visit, and we can usually tell from the first look. Heavy tree cover over the roof means more debris falling in the gutters between visits. Clogged gutters are what make roof runoff sheet over the edge, and that is the first thing we check. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than one on a quiet street. Those are the properties where our professional window cleaning crew comes back more often, and the schedule follows what we see on the house rather than a fixed rule. Multi-story buildings need more time on the lift, and the quote reflects that. Water damage often starts where an overflowing gutter runs down the fascia, so a fast return visit can prevent it.
You will know windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. This visit covers the outside only, and windows inside are not part of it. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, which matters if you plan to sell.
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 clean the outside of each residential window on residential properties across Centralia, condos included, and we handle the gutters and downspouts on the same visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. Clean windows and clear gutters go in one slot, and we call before we come, so you know when the crew will arrive. We check every window on the outside of the house before we leave, and we wipe the frame again if needed to remove dirt. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Lead time changes with the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks our calendar fills faster, so it helps to schedule service early rather than waiting for the first visible debris. Off-peak weeks usually have more openings. Whenever you book, the crew works from the same plan, starting with the gutters and finishing with the glass.
Yes. Our crew offers washing services for both, so the gutters and downspouts and the outside glass are cleaned in one visit.
The number comes from the story count and the size of the house, and condos are quoted by the same count. Text or call us with those details and we send a written estimate.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust, sprinkler spots and roof runoff that build up between visits. Cleaning the inside does not remove any of that.
Most of our local customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Booking before those busy weeks gives you more choice of dates.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the debris and dirty water are gone before we wash the windows, which is the easiest way to remove dirt from the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit when we can reach them safely.
Not on this visit. We clean exterior glass only, so windows inside are not part of the job, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, 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.
