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 booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall calendar, when most homes need the clearing and the glass washed at the same time.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add to the glass. Clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves take longer to clear, and the gutters and downspouts get flushed either way. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are part of the time. Grime baked on for years and hard-water spotting from sprinklers are separate issues that cleaning alone will not remove, and we say so on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers the outside only. Our washing services are priced the same way, by stories and window count, so the phone quote holds.
On a recent Lynnwood job the quote came down to two things: the house had three stories with a steep back roof, and the gutters had not been cleared in several years. Once the crew saw the back run, the window count was the easy part. A window and gutter cleaning booked together covered both, and the customer got one visit and one invoice that matched the phone quote. Pollen collects on the upper glass, and the cleaning solutions we use cut that film, so the outside of clean windows shows the difference right away. Picture windows and the sill below them get the same attention as every other pane, and a residential window that is washed properly does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Homes that want regular cleanings usually set the schedule by season, and the crew writes the schedule into the first estimate. Residential and commercial jobs are priced on the same basis; commercial buildings are quoted per building.
| 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 Lynnwood jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Our cleaning services follow what we actually find on the house at each visit, so the dates shift with the weather.
In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In the fall the leaf load is the main problem, and the wet mat holds water against the fascia, which is how clogged gutters lead to water damage. Atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts across Washington move the dates by a few weeks in either direction, and the runoff from a storm finds every clogged downspout. Our window cleaners walk each house before the work starts and note what the glass and the gutters are carrying that day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate fix. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than a quiet street does. On those houses the visits get set around the trees and the sprinkler run, so the next date follows what the glass and gutters showed last time.
You can tell when windows need it: haze shows up on the glass when the sun is low, and haze also takes away from curb appeal. You can tell when gutters need it: water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 cleans gutters and windows across Lynnwood, from single-family homes and condos to multi-story buildings, and we handle residential window and gutter work at residential properties, and commercial sites, on the same schedule. Booking window and gutter cleaning works like this: to schedule service you call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, we give you the quote, and we set a date. Most dates come up within the lead time we list for your area, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, so book early in those months if you want a specific day.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so you can leave the house as it is. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit. We aim to clean every window on the outside of the house and to finish the gutters and downspouts before the glass, so nothing dirty runs down clean panes. The sill under each window gets wiped as part of the job, and the same goes for the frames.
Yes. The same two people do both on our Lynnwood jobs, and the gutters are done first.
The number comes from stories and window count, so call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house and we send a written estimate.
On Lynnwood houses the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up faster than the inside does, so the outside is usually where the difference shows. Regular cleanings are the way to remove dirt before it bonds to the glass.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, which is when we see the pollen and the leaf load. We clean condos from the outside on the same gutter-first order.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is already gone before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the job.
We clean the exterior glass on this visit and do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing. Our washing services cover the outside of the house only, and the glass inside stays as it is.
No, 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. Text a photo of the roofline if you want us to check the gutters first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
