The same two people clean the 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. Across Washington, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, and the outside glass and the gutters are the two places that show it first.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote from those details.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized panes, such as picture windows, and a high window count add time. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any flushing starts. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a standard cleaning. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Five Corners jobs, the quote usually moves most with the number of stories and how much debris sits in the runs. Before we book, send a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories. We will confirm the window count from the photo and give you one number for the whole visit, with the bundle already applied. Our window washing services and window cleaning services follow the same plan, so the same number covers the glass and the gutters in one trip, and the exterior grime on the glass comes off with the runoff from the roof in the same pass. We also remove dirt from the frames and sills on every window we do, so nothing is left behind for the next rain. Residential properties and condos with several floors follow the same method, and the quote is the same way.
| 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.
Across Washington, most customers book both jobs in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each of those windows. The pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the first things we see in spring. Cleaning solutions only go on the panes that water alone does not lift, and the crew tells you which panes those are. In the fall, the leaf load is the thing that matters most, and the wet leaf mat from the rain is what fills the runs.
Some houses need more than two cleanings a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and a house near a busy road or construction picks up more film than the others. These are the cases where we suggest one more cleaning during the year, and we will tell you which of those applies to your house after the first visit.
On our Five Corners route, regular cleanings are set by what we find at each visit, not by a fixed calendar. One customer with no trees books twice a year. Another with trees over the roof and sprinkler spotting books three or four times a year. The first visit tells us which schedule the house needs, and we write it down on the invoice.
You will know the glass needs it when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 book residential and commercial cleaning services for homes and small buildings across the Five Corners area. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole, so most exterior glass is done from the ground, and the higher panes on multi-story buildings are reached with a boom or scissor lift when the crew needs one. Professional window cleaning means the same crew does the glass and the gutters in one visit, and that matters on houses where water damage shows up along the fascia. Every residential window on the list gets its frame and sill wiped, which is most of the curb appeal a window adds to a house.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We will confirm the window count from the photo and give you a date. Lead time changes with the season, and in the busy weeks of spring and fall the calendar fills, so book early if you have a fixed date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Clogged gutters are the usual reason a house is on our list in the first place, and the crew checks the lower runs for signs of water damage before the visit is over.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the roof off the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will quote it from there.
On our Five Corners jobs, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks cloudy even when the inside is clean. The outside is where most of the dirt sits.
Across Washington, most of our customers book in spring and in fall. Those are the visits where the pollen and the leaf load are at their heaviest, and the schedule follows what we find at the first visit.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the leaves and grit come down the wall, they land on the glass if it was washed first, and then someone has to wash it again.
The screens are rinsed, the sills are wiped and the tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. None of those is billed as an extra.
This visit covers the exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior work are separate jobs and windows inside are not part of it. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either.
No, 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
