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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Fairwood jobs most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, when the dust and the leaves have built up. Call (866) 435-6328 to book; we do not do interior glass, pressure washing or gutter repair on this visit.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The crew rinses with purified water, not cleaning solutions, so no soap film is left to streak the glass. The gutters and downspouts are flushed as part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are not billed as extras. This quote covers the outside of one house, and it does not include pressure washing or other washing services. For a residential and commercial building, ask us on the phone first, since the stories, the access, and whether the interior and exterior are both wanted can differ.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a longer setup. Exterior window count matters, and so do picture windows, which are big single panes with more glass to wipe. The windows inside the house are not part of this quote, so they do not change the number. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is something cleaning will not remove, so we note it and tell you what it is before we start.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count. Our crew will confirm it by phone, and the invoice matches what we quoted. The pollen paste in the gutters and the film on the south-facing glass are the usual reasons a spring visit runs a little longer than the rest of the year, so we ask about those when we talk.
| 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 Fairwood customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Washington the spring visit lands in mid to late June, once the spring build-up has settled, and the fall visit comes in late November to December, after the leaves drop. The storm season of atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts is what moves those dates across Washington, so we keep an eye on the forecast and call before we come.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In the spring the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and tree debris packs the gutters. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that backs up the downspouts, and the runoff from it sheets over the gutter edge. Houses under heavy tree cover need a third visit, because needles and grit keep building between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass causes the spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road picks up more grime than one set back from it.
Plenty of customers who book cleaning services with us want regular cleanings on a steady schedule, and most of the window cleaners we talk to on other jobs say the same thing: professional window cleaning keeps the curb appeal up between seasons. The windows tell you when they need it. You see a haze when the sun is low. The gutters tell you when they need it too. Water sheets over the edge in the rain, and that is the sign a run is clogged gutters. Left alone, that overflow can lead to water damage on the fascia. On taller multi-story buildings the same signs show up sooner.
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 cleans residential properties and condos across Fairwood, and our window cleaning services get booked by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the timing. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill the calendar first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew does window and gutter cleaning for a residential window on every visit, from the ladder or the pole, and each sill gets wiped to remove dirt. We try to schedule service so that every window is done in one pass, and so the clean windows stay clean longer.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our crew cleans the gutters first and the outside of the windows last, so the glass stays clean.
The number depends on stories and size. Text us a photo of the front of the house and the stories, and we will give you the number by phone.
The outside carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, which is why the exterior glass gets cleaned here. Interior glass is not part of this visit, so we do not clean the interior and exterior together on one trip.
Our Fairwood customers book in the spring and the fall, after the spring film settles and after the leaves drop. If you live in condos, mention it when you call, since shared gutters may need the building's sign-off.
The gutters and downspouts get done first, so the runoff never reaches the clean glass. The roof gets cleared, every downspout gets flushed, and then the glass gets done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and downspouts are flushed as part of the job. Tracks are not part of it, so ask us about tracks when you book.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing or other washing services.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
