The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across Washington, our crew does this work every spring and fall, so the schedule is one we already know well.
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 window and gutter cleaning done 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 give you a written estimate from those details.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services, not extras billed later, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared under the same price.
On a Kirkland house, the cost usually swings most with the roofline. We have a pattern of finding gutters that sit under a lot of grit, and a row of windows that look fine from the street but carry a film of pollen and rain dust once you are on the ladder. Ask for a written estimate and we will spell out which of those applies to your house before anyone climbs. Neither the window or the gutter part of the job changes because of the other, so one visit is the simplest route.
For the exact number, give us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for a firm quote, and we would rather get it right on the phone than surprise you on the invoice. Our quote covers exterior glass and gutters only, so we do not price an interior and exterior package on this visit. The crew keeps cleaning solutions to what the job needs and rinses them away before it leaves.
| 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 customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each of those cleanings. Across Washington, our spring visit runs mid to late June, and the fall visit runs late November to December. Storm and wind seasons, with atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts moving through, can shift the dates by a few weeks in either direction, so we watch the calendar rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between rounds, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the glass, which is why some owners book regular cleanings between the two main rounds. Heavy winter rain adds a different problem: with 37.8 inches of precipitation a year, and January, November and December the wettest months, a clogged gutter sends runoff down the wall and can lead to water damage. We would rather tell you what your lot needs after the first visit than promise a schedule before we have seen it.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun sits low in the afternoon, and it wears down curb appeal faster than most owners expect. A pollen film on south-facing glass is one more reason a spring round is worth booking. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Residential and commercial glass both pick up the same film, so the signs are the same for a home or a shop.
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 cleaning services run across the city, and the crew checks every window on the house before it leaves. Customers comparing window cleaners in Kirkland usually want two answers, when can you come and what does it cost, so the booking calendar is the same for every stop. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Lead times change with the season, so the earlier you reach us, the more likely we can match your preferred week.
The busiest windows of the year are the spring round and the leaf season, when our calendar fills fast. If you want to schedule service before the rush, ask for a slot at the time you call and we will hold it. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so the crew can aim for clean windows and clear gutters on the same visit.
Each job is quoted by the building, and multi-story buildings are priced by their stories, so a single-family home, a townhouse, condos and taller houses each get a number for their own stories and window count. Most residential properties are quoted the same way, and a residential window job on a two-story house starts from the same photo of the front. Tell us what you have and we will schedule the visit around it.
Yes. The same two-person crew does both in one visit, which is professional window cleaning done in the right order: gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty washes back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, since our window cleaning services are priced per building. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and we will give you the figure before the visit.
Usually yes here, because the outside collects grime, rain dust and any sprinkler spotting. The inside stays as it is on this visit.
Most Kirkland customers book the spring round, which runs mid to late June across Washington, and the fall round, which runs late November to December. Ask for a slot when you call so the visit lands before the rush.
Not when we do the work. Gutters are cleared and flushed first, so the crew can remove dirt and runoff from the wall, and only then does the crew start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are included in our washing services on the same visit, so you are not billed separately for them.
No. Our visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and pressure washing is not part of the job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
