Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto 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. Across Washington, most of our customers book this in the spring and in the fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our washing services are sold as one bundle, and cleanings of the gutters and the glass cost less in one visit than in two separate trips. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure from those two things.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care per pane, and each residential window above the first floor adds time on the pole. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles, leaves and grime, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote covers exterior glass only, not interior and exterior work on the same visit.
On our Ferndale jobs, one two-story house with a large front window wall and a run of clogged gutters that had not been opened in several years came to us as a same-visit bundle. What moved its quote was the glass count and the clogged run at the back, and the crew cleared both before touching the windows. The full case is linked below. Your number will come from your own stories and window count, not from anyone else's house.
| 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 Ferndale customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters, and we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions to remove dirt from the glass. In the fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits on the roof and in the runs until the first hard weather, and the runoff from it spills over the edge onto the glass below. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we schedule around what the weather is actually doing that year. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal.
Some houses need regular cleanings beyond the two standard visits. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps dropping debris into the runs between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings are harder to reach from the ground, so the upper glass takes more time. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a grit film faster than the rest. Gutters that overflow for a season can cause water damage at the fascia, so on those houses we tell you at the first visit that a third trip will pay for itself, and we tell you why.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need clearing when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call before the next scheduled visit rather than after.
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 works on residential properties across Ferndale, and we have cleaned homes in neighborhoods around the city for many seasons. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm a window. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. This page covers houses only, so for a residential and commercial property, call us first and we will tell you whether we take the job.
Professional window cleaning and gutter work are done by the same people, from the first flush of the downspouts to the last pane, and the crew checks every window it can reach before leaving. Our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning services stay the same from one visit to the next, so the house gets the same care each time. If you have a specific date in mind, tell us when you call and we will check the schedule against it.
Yes. Our crew of window cleaners does the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will quote it before we come.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are the things you see through the glass. Cleaning the outside is what makes the window look clear from inside too, even though we do not clean the windows inside on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and some book regular cleanings on the same schedule. Those are the months when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest on the houses we clean.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and the black water in the runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping, because the crew wants to remove dirt from the panes once, not twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the standard job.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. This is an exterior job, not interior and exterior glass, and we do not do pressure washing on this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If your home is one of the condos with shared gutter runs, tell us when you call so we can check access before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
