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 onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Washington, most of our customers book these as a spring and fall pair, which is the rhythm we keep on our own calendar.
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.
Window washing and gutter cleaning are priced 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 you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we will tell you the exact figure before we book the day.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds once it is on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the boom or scissor lift. Window count matters, and so do picture windows and oversized panes that take two people to handle safely. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of professional window cleaning, not extras billed later.
Here is what we have seen drive a quote on our Lake Stickney jobs. On one house, the window count was modest but the gutters had not been cleaned in several years and the downspouts were blocked at the elbows, so the crew spent more time clearing before the glass was ever touched. Water damage at the fascia from overflow was flagged in the photos, and the quote reflected the extra clearing. The quickest way to get your exact number is simple: call (866) 435-6328, tell us the stories, give us a rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text.

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 of our customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The spring visit lands in mid to late June across Washington, after the seed drop, and in Lake Stickney the fall visit runs late November to December, after the leaves are down. Clean windows and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, so a spring visit is a good time to get ahead of summer.
At each visit we find something different. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the paste packs the gutters. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, and wet leaves in the gutters are what cause overflow in the winter rain. Storm and wind seasons, the atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts that move across Washington, can shift the timing of a visit, and we will call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. Every window a sprinkler line hits leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass. For these we suggest a third visit, and the crew will tell you what it finds before any decision is made. The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in 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.
Booking starts with a quick estimate. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you the number we will charge before a day is set. Our lead time is shown on your booking confirmation, and we will call before we come so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
Our crew has cleaned houses across Lake Stickney, and the same process applies whether the house is a single-family home or a townhome, with every residential window on the outside cleaned the same way. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills, so the earlier you call, the easier it is to get the day you want. We clean residential and commercial properties, including some condos and multi-story buildings, with the same gutters first, glass last order on every job.
The work covers gutters and downspouts, runoff from the roof, and the grime that builds up on the glass between visits. We clean what is there and haul away the debris, so you are not left to remove dirt yourself. Our washing services and window cleaning services follow the same schedule, which keeps one visit enough for most homes.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first, then the outside of the windows, so the gutter water does not run onto clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front, and we will give you the figure before we book.
On the outside, dust, rain spots and sprinkler spots build up. Cleaning the glass is split into interior and exterior work, and most customers in this area book the exterior with us on a regular cleanings schedule.
Most of our customers book the spring visit in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Earlier in the spring is fine if pollen is heavy on your street.
No, that is the reason we go gutters first and glass last. When the roof and gutters are cleared and the downspouts flushed, the wall has time to dry before anyone works on every window, which keeps the clean windows clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior visit, and picture windows get the same treatment. Tracks are included when they are on the outside of the house.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing, and we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so those jobs would need to be booked separately with another company.
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.
