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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Washington, most of our work is booked for the spring and fall cleanings that keep both on schedule.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew sets it from the photo of the front of the house, so you know the figure before anyone is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hands. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different problem that no cleaning removes, so we flag it before we quote. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is what we have seen on our Hazel Dell jobs. The houses that take the longest are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof and window grime that has built up between visits. Those visits are priced from the stories and the window count, and the crew explains the difference before the work starts. If you want the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house. That gets you a quote for the residential window and gutter cleaning, with picture windows and any interior and exterior questions answered in the same message. We do not do interior glass on this visit. For regular cleanings on a set schedule, the quote covers the cleaning solutions we use on the glass and the rinse on the gutters, so the same figure holds when you book the next visit.
| 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 homeowners book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is what we see here too. Booking both as one of our cleaning services makes sense because the two run on the same calendar.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. The pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters in the spring. In the fall the leaf load comes down in a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around the forecast rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction tends to get dirty faster. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning. Professional window cleaning is how we remove dirt from the glass, but the mineral spots need a separate treatment, and we say so on the first visit. Residential and commercial jobs, including multi-story buildings, are scheduled on the same logic, by how fast the grime comes back.
Watch for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Left alone, clogged gutters pour runoff against the foundation and cause water damage that costs far more than a cleaning. Most of the time a cleaning on schedule is enough, and the crew will tell you on the first visit if your lot needs more.
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 offer window cleaning services and gutter cleaning across Hazel Dell, and the crew can set up on most residential properties and condos in a single visit. To schedule service, start with an estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and the slot. The lead time is listed on our booking page and depends on the season. In the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills, we ask for the photo early so the slot is held.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come, so you know the arrival window. Clean windows get the same rinse on every pane, and the sill gets wiped with the frame, so nothing is missed on the outside. We keep the schedule simple: one visit, one invoice, one set of photos sent before the crew leaves.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Booking them together keeps the work on one schedule and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the figure before we book.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Clean outside glass adds curb appeal even when the inside is untouched, which is why most customers start there.
Our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. The spring visit clears the pollen, and the fall visit clears the leaves before the wet season sets in. Those are the two windows that fill up first on our calendar.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the debris and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until that has stopped. Doing it in the other order means washing the same window twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and the tracks are cleaned with the frame. All of those washing services are included, and none of them is billed as an extra on the invoice.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing on the same visit either.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
