Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every window in a single visit. This residential window and gutter work happens on one schedule, and we do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work in Ellensburg across the spring and fall seasons, and we bring the same ladder setup and the same photo report to every house we clean. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328.
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 stories and approximate window count, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Window washing and our other washing services follow the same rule, so a multi-story building or one of the condos we clean gets quoted the same way as a house. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Your quote comes from how many stories the house has, how many windows face the outside, and what state the gutters are in when we arrive. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the jobs our crew does, the things that move a quote are the same ones you would expect. A third story or a steep roof adds time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a large window count stretch the glass portion. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. Runoff from a roof that drains onto the walkway tells us a downspout is backed up, and we clear it so the glass below stays clean. Heavy grime on the lower glass often means the sill has been missed for a while, so we budget for it.
Here is what the day usually looks like on a typical Ellensburg job. We walk the house, count the stories and windows, and photograph the gutters before the ladder goes up. Then we clear the runs, flush every downspout until the water comes out clean, and wait a few minutes for the wall to stop dripping. Only after that do we work the glass. Remove dirt from the frames and sills, rinse the screens, and wipe the tracks, and you get photos of each run and the finished windows before the crew leaves.
Here is what we have seen on the houses we have cleaned in Ellensburg. One house with a steep roof and heavy tree cover over the gutters needed more time than the front of the house suggested, and the price reflected the gutters and downspouts that had not been cleared in several seasons. The number we quoted over the phone matched what we charged at the end of the day. To get the exact number for your house, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories, and we will tell you what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder.

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 customers in Ellensburg book both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the schedule. By spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste builds up in the gutters, so the windows look hazy and the downspout elbows get packed. Picture windows show that film first, since there is so much glass in view. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat can sag a run before winter. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates a little, so we plan around the weather instead of a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters full of needles and grit between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that settles on the sills, and on residential and commercial buildings near that kind of traffic the sills collect the same dust. For those homes, regular cleanings through the year keep the glass and gutters from getting ahead of us. Our crew works with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, which is why the glass dries without streaks between those visits.
Our crew has seen two common patterns on the homes we clean around here. One house with no trees near the roof was on a twice-a-year schedule without trouble. Another house under a canopy of trees, with sprinkler spotting on the lower panes, has been on three or four visits a year because the gutters fill faster and the glass collects more. Both are the same work done in the same order, only the timing is different.
You will notice when windows need it. The haze appears most clearly in low sun, when the light hits the glass at an angle and shows the film you did not see at noon. The sign gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If either one shows up between visits, call us and we will look at it.
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 has cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Ellensburg, and the window cleaning services we offer are the same on every street. Booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once you give us that, we give you a time window and call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, so you can plan around the visit instead of waiting on it.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen drops in spring and the leaves come down in fall. If you want a slot in those weeks, it helps to book early, because the crew works through the requests in the order they arrive. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 before the calendar fills. Outside those windows, the calendar has more room. We do not promise same-day service, and the lead time we quote is the one that is actually open on our schedule.
Homeowners on residential properties who call us tend to be looking for a professional window cleaning job that also deals with the gutters, since clogged gutters and water damage often show up together. Plenty of window cleaners stop at the glass and leave the gutters alone, which is how runoff marks end up on the siding. Most of our calls come from people who want the curb appeal of clean glass but have noticed those marks. Doing both in one visit keeps the cost of your time down and catches the problems before they reach the windows.
Yes. The same two people who clean the outside of your windows also clear the gutters and flush the downspouts in the same visit. The gutters are done first, so the glass is clean when we finish.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house, and what state the gutters are in. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before the visit.
Yes, because the outside takes the brunt of pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, and clean windows on the outside change how the whole house reads from the street. Those marks build up on the exterior glass long before the inside looks dirty, so cleaning the outside alone makes a real difference.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the pollen drop finishes, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Booking in those windows fills the calendar early, so call us sooner to schedule service and you get the right choice of dates.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and black water run down the wall, so we give the wall a few minutes to drain before touching any window. If the glass were washed first, it would need a second cleaning.
They are part of the job. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills, and clean the tracks, and none of that is billed separately.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do interior and exterior pressure washing, so if you need that, you will need another service.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate, and that is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
