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 runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work in Lacey for spring and fall visits. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 the window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. These washing services are quoted before anyone climbs a ladder, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Text us a photo of the front of the house and a count of the stories, and we will give you the exact figure.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the job. A large window count or oversized picture windows take longer per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work than a light run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is on the glass and will not come off with a regular cleaning, which we will tell you about before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our figure covers the outside of the windows only, and interior and exterior glass is not part of this visit.
On our Lacey jobs, the houses that get the biggest change from one visit are the ones where the glass and the gutters have gone a long time without window cleaning services, so the first visit shows how much grime has built up over the seasons. Houses on regular cleanings show much less grime at the first visit, and the cleanings after that take less time. Our advice is to send a photo of the front of the house with your story count, and we can tell you what the quote will look like. We also ask about the window count so you can see what the price is based on.
| 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 Lacey customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one window and gutter visit by one crew makes sense. Across Washington, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed and pollen drop, and our Lacey fall visits run October to early November, after the leaves come down. In the spring, a film builds on south-facing glass and a damp paste sits in the downspout elbows. Fine dust comes in through open screens, and the windows inside collect a film that a clean outside helps keep down. In the fall, the wet leaf mat is what we find in clogged gutters, and houses that skip the fall visit can have sagging runs by winter, with water damage at the fascia to follow.
Heavy tree cover over the roof means more debris between visits, and some of our customers with that setup book three or four visits a year. A sprinkler line that sprays the glass causes spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need the extra visit too. Multi-story buildings need a lift and more time on the job, so they get scheduled with that in mind. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust on the glass and in the gutters, so it may need a closer schedule. Dust and leaves hit residential and commercial buildings in Lacey the same way, so the timing above holds for both. Most panes need no cleaning solutions when the crew uses purified water, though mineral spots need a separate treatment.
The sign that your windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign that your gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in the rain, which means the run is clogged or sitting at the wrong slope.
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 cover Lacey houses of all sizes. Our crew does professional window cleaning and gutter work on the same visit, and many window cleaners stop at the glass. We check every window on the outside of the house and flag any pane we cannot reach before we leave. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and a Lacey house with both done in one visit looks finished from the street. Booking starts with a quick estimate: to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call, and we will give you a date when we confirm the estimate. The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our schedule fills up in those months, so calling early helps you get a slot you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us.
When you book with us, we confirm the appointment, the price and the window we will arrive in. That keeps the visit simple and the invoice matches the number we gave you. Ask for a written estimate if you want one before you book.
Yes, our crew handles window and gutter cleaning on the same visit, with the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the figure before we schedule.
On our jobs, the outside carries dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots. A residential window collects that between visits, and cleaning the outside gives you a clear view and helps remove dirt before it sets on the glass.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, which are the two windows when pollen and leaves come down. Condos and other residential properties follow the same timing as a single house, because the seed and leaves fall the same way.
No. We clean the gutters and downspouts first, flushing every downspout, let the wall drip off, and only then start on the glass. That order keeps the grime off the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
