Gutter and window cleaning in Lynden, WA is one visit with one crew. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows, gutters first and 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 together in one visit costs less than two separate trips.
On our Lynden jobs, most customers book the spring and fall visits, which is why the bundle makes sense to them. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number on the phone.
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 number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We build it from your stories, your approximate window count and what is in the gutters, and booking gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Ask for the bundle figure when you call.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. On a job with oversized panes, professional window cleaning means counting every window one by one, including a long run of picture windows. Gutters not opened in years come down packed, and clogged gutters are the first thing we clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath is cleaned. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line stays on the glass after cleaning because no cleaning removes it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We flush each downspout until it runs clear, so water damage from a blockage is not left behind to surprise you after the rain.
On our Lynden jobs, the customer who called about curb appeal on the street side of a two-story house had us do the gutters and the front glass in one visit. Their quote came from the stories, the window count and the lifted guard on the back run, and the number on the invoice matched the number they were given. Send us a photo of the front of your house and we will tell you what we see before we quote.
We do not do windows inside on this visit, and we do not pressure wash, so window washing here means the outside glass only. If you want the inside of the glass done too, ask us for a written estimate on exterior only and we will tell you what to expect from there.

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 Lynden jobs most customers book two visits a year for their cleaning services, one in the spring and one in the fall. Both jobs run on the same calendar, so one crew in one visit makes sense at each of them.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the downspouts after the last drop. Storm and wind seasons move the dates by a week or two, and we adjust the booking to match.
Some houses need a third visit, so regular cleanings are set by the house rather than by the calendar. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the runs between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the rest. We will tell you which of those applies after the first visit.
On our Lynden jobs, one customer with no trees over the roof has been on twice a year since the first visit. Another with heavy cover and sprinkler spotting is on three or four visits, and the photos from each run show the difference. Ask us to schedule service at the interval that fits your lot.
You can tell the windows need cleaning when you see a haze you only notice with the sun low. You can tell the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. We want clean windows at the end of every visit, with the runs clear as well.
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 Lynden, and we handle residential and commercial work: window cleaning services and gutter jobs at residential properties, plus the commercial buildings that need the same work, including multi-story buildings. Commercial clients get the same single visit for glass and gutters, and our washing services are scheduled on the building's own calendar and priced per building.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories, and tell us whether you want window cleaning services, gutters, or both. We give you an estimate from those two things and a window-count question. If you do not know the count for every window, a rough number is fine; the crew confirms it on the first visit. Lead time is set by the calendar at the time you call.
Two stretches of the year fill the calendar faster, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. If you want a slot in either, call early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Gutters and downspouts take the most attention on a flat roof, where runoff settles and backs up without a sound. Remove dirt from the glass and the frame in the same visit, so the grime that came off the roof does not land back on the windows. Condos with shared roofs get the same treatment on each unit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
We give the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. We do not quote a range here because it depends on what is on the roof and in the glass.
On our Lynden jobs the outside carries the pollen film in spring, the rain dust, and the sprinkler spots that show up after a cleaning. Those sit on the outside of the glass, so cleaning the inside alone leaves them there. Outside glass is what this visit covers; if you want interior and exterior glass done together, ask for a separate quote.
On our jobs here, most customers book cleanings in the spring and in the fall. Text a photo of the house front and we will tell you which month fits your lot.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not come down across windows we have just finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side. Ask us which cleaning solutions go on your glass and we will tell you before the visit.
We do not clean interior and exterior glass on this visit, and we do not pressure wash. We do exterior glass only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
