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 both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. On our Lakeland South jobs, most customers book it for the spring and fall visits, so the crew knows the calendar 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.
The price depends on how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries, and we give the number on the phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text from those two facts. Booking the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking them as two jobs, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Professional window cleaning is quoted this way on every house, so the window cleaners on our crew give the same number whether the job is one story or three, and multi-story buildings take the same two-step quote: stories first, then window count.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder, and so does each residential window set high on an upper floor. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior glass is not part of this visit, so windows inside the house are not priced here.
Where the house has had a lot of buildup, we have seen clogged gutters push water over the edge and into the fascia, which is how water damage tends to start. On one Lakeland South job the owner sent a photo of the front of the house before we came. We could see the window count and the stories from the photo, and the quote came from that alone. That is the fastest way to get an exact number: tell us the stories, give us a rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. Window washing on the glass and gutter cleaning on the roofline are both quoted from the same photo, so there are no surprises when the crew arrives. Clean gutters and clear glass do most of the work for curb appeal on the front of a house.
| 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.
On our Lakeland South jobs, most of our customers book the cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Washington, the same two-visit pattern is common, but the local timing is what decides the dates here.
At the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass of every residential window and a paste of fine debris packed into the gutters. At the fall visit we find the leaf load, grime on every sill, and the wind and storm season can move both dates. The houses that need a third visit usually have heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (those spots come back a day after cleaning), or a location near a busy road or construction. Residential properties with these conditions tend to stay on a tighter schedule so the clean windows last between visits.
A customer with no trees over the roof usually stays on the twice-a-year schedule, and regular cleanings on that rhythm keep up with the tree debris and the leaves. A customer with heavy cover or sprinkler spotting is on three or four visits. We set that up at the first visit, based on what we find. If you want to schedule service, call us at (866) 435-6328 and we will work out the calendar with you.
There are two signs that tell you it is time. Windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Check every window and every gutter run once a season, and when either sign shows up, book the visit.
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 crew works across Lakeland South, and the neighborhoods we have cleaned are the ones we list on the estimate. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We confirm the window count and the gutter condition, then give you a date. The lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when the spring pollen and the fall leaves come down, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when the truck is pulling up. The crew handles the outside of the windows and the gutters and downspouts, and runoff from the roof is checked after the cleaning. We remove dirt and grime from the glass and the frames, and we do not leave it on the sill. Our window cleaning services cover single-family homes, townhomes and condos, and the washing services follow the same two-step booking.
Yes, it is the same two-person crew doing both. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back onto clean windows. The bundle is one visit, not two.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those do not clean off from inside. Picture windows show that haze most, since the glass is large and the sun hits it flat. Cleaning the inside alone leaves the haze the sun shows up.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. Across Washington the pattern is the same, but the local timing sets the exact dates.
No, gutters first, glass last. When the gutters are cleared first and the wall is given time to drip, the glass is the last thing touched on the house.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, and interior and exterior glass are different jobs. We rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
This page covers houses, and the quote on the phone at (866) 435-6328 is built from stories and window count. Tell us what the building is when you call, and we will say whether the crew can take it.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
