Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips.
Most of our Gig Harbor customers book this in the spring and in the fall, when the leaves and the spring dust are at their worst and the glass shows it. We run the same route on every house so no gutter run gets missed on the way down. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text, and we will confirm a time.
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 both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate visits. Once we know the stories and count, the quote is settled before the truck rolls, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. When you compare window cleaners, ask how they count the glass, since a price by the pane and a price by the house can land far apart. Professional window cleaning on a house this size takes a water-fed pole and a ladder crew, and the price reflects that setup. Window washing done with the gutters skips the second setup entirely.
What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized panes, picture windows among them, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clogged gutters are the most common reason a gutter run takes longer than we planned from the ground. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Multi-story buildings, residential and commercial alike, are quoted on the same two numbers as a house: stories and window count. Curb appeal is one reason owners book the glass, and water damage is the reason to ask about the gutters, because water that sheets over the edge in the rain is the first sign of trouble at the fascia. Windows inside are not part of this price, so the visit covers the outside only. Send a photo of the front of your house by text, along with your stories and window count, and we will tell you what moves yours.

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 Gig Harbor customers book cleaning services twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Washington the schedule follows the same rhythm, set by the spring pollen and the fall leaf drop. Most residential properties keep to that rhythm, though a residential window on the shady side can hold its clean longer than one under a tree.
What we find at the spring visit is a pollen film on the south-facing glass and a packed mat of needles in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load, a wet mat that holds the water and sends it over the lip. Gig Harbor gets about 42 inches of rain a year, and January, November and December are the wettest months, so the fall visit usually lands in late November to December, in the middle of the wettest stretch. Across Washington, atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts set the storm season, so clean windows matter most before those systems arrive.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and the sill under it collects grit. A house near a busy road or construction collects a film that shows up as haze. A third visit lets us do every window again, not only the ones on the street side, and you can schedule service by phone or text.
You will see the sign windows need it when there is a haze you only notice with the sun low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain.
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 provide washing services for exterior windows and gutters on homes around Gig Harbor, and we book the estimate by phone or by text at (866) 435-6328. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the slot with you. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring tree season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in those weeks. Booking early in those windows keeps your slot. Outside them, the schedule has room, and we tell you the lead time when you call. Condos with exterior glass and gutters reachable from the ground or a ladder get the same visit.
The crew works from the ladder and the boom or scissor lift where the height calls for it. Our window cleaning services use a water-fed pole and purified water, so the glass dries clean and the grime comes off without a towel. Gutters and downspouts are cleared first, so the runoff does not carry the dirt back down the wall. We haul the debris away rather than blowing it onto the walk, so you are not left to remove dirt yourself.
Yes. Some crews stop at the glass, but here the same two people do the gutters and the glass on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs dirty water onto clean glass afterward.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or by text. The same two numbers set the quote for a residential and commercial exterior, so the price is settled before anyone climbs a ladder.
The outside carries the tree dust, the rain grime and the sprinkler spots, and those are what we see on the glass here, so the outside gets dirty on its own schedule. The interior and exterior glass get dirty at different rates, and on this visit we clean the exterior only.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall. Booking twice a year covers the regular cleanings most houses need, with a third visit when trees or sprinklers add to the load.
No. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, because the leaves and grit from the gutters come down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the window job, not billed as extras. Large picture windows are counted in the window count, the same as any other pane.
We clean the exterior glass only, with purified water and no cleaning solutions, on this visit. We do not do interior window cleaning or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
