Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Federal Way jobs most customers book the work in spring and fall.
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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We price by stories and approximate window count, and the bundled visit costs less than two separate jobs, with the saving shown on your quote. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and we can give you a firm figure from it.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. Steep roofs and third stories on multi-story buildings take longer to reach. Oversized picture windows cost more time per pane than standard sashes. Heavy pollen film on the glass can need a second pass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before we flush them. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning solutions remove it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so the windows inside the house and pressure washing are not part of this visit, and they are quoted separately if you ask. Our crew handles the residential and commercial jobs on the same calendar, so the scheduling question is always the same.
The quote usually moves for the same reasons on any house: a steep front roof, a sprinkler line hitting the lower panes, or a full set of gutters that has not been cleaned in years. That is the kind of detail we ask about on the phone, and it is why we ask for a photo. For the exact number, tell us your stories, your approximate window count, and text us a photo of the front of the house.

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 standard homes do well with both jobs booked twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Clogged gutters are the usual result after the seed drop and again after the leaves fall, and the glass picks up pollen film in the same seasons.
On the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutter elbows. On the fall visit we find the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes down into the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we confirm the day on the phone before we come out.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between cleanings, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than average, and multi-story buildings with tall gutter runs collect more debris at the roof edge. On those jobs our window cleaning services go on a shorter schedule, with regular cleanings in place of the twice-a-year booking, and our window cleaners check the glass at each visit. The windows inside stay on their own schedule, so they are not part of these visits.
Professional window cleaning is the surest way to remove dirt and grime from the outside of the glass without leaving streaks, because purified water dries clean. You will see the sign windows need it as a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will see the sign gutters need it as water sheeting over the edge during rain, which is often the first sign of water damage behind the fascia. When you see either, call us.
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 does window and gutter cleaning across Federal Way, on residential properties and condos alike. Every residential window on larger houses gets the same rinse as one on a small house, and clean windows on any house get purified water from start to finish. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using your stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills. Book early in those months to schedule service on the day you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside.
When you book, you get a single appointment for every window on the outside of the house and the full gutter run. Each sill is wiped, and the frames are included in the visit, so the outside of the home has its curb appeal back when we leave. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule, or text a photo to get started.
Yes. The same two people clean gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, on houses and condos alike, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty runoff off panes we have already washed.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will return a firm figure.
Usually yes. Professional window cleaning is how you remove dirt that rain alone leaves on the glass, including pollen film, grime and sprinkler spots. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will check the open dates for the season you want.
No. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never reaches panes we have already washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are included, so these washing services never show up as an add-on line on your invoice.
Our window cleaning services cover exterior glass only on this visit. Interior windows and pressure washing are not part of the job, and we will tell you if they are needed.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. A text with the approximate window count helps us plan the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
