Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across Washington, our crews book this pairing most often in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Our window cleaning services are quoted on those two numbers, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Booking both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs on different days. Window washing on the outside is priced by residential window count, and washing services for the gutters are priced by stories. The figure is for the outside of the house only, and a quote never mixes the interior and exterior glass, because interior glass is not part of this visit. Tell us how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows face the street and the yard, then text or call (866) 435-6328 and we will send the figure before we book a day.
On the day, the crew looks at what moves the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, window counts that include oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and come down packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes, plus grime baked onto the glass. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, not extras billed later.
On our Mill Creek East jobs, most of the quotes that come in above the simple range trace back to one of those points, and the crew tells you which one before work starts. Our main advice is to send a photo of the front of the house and a rough count of stories and windows by text, so we can give you the exact figure before we book a day. Regular cleanings keep the glass and gutters from building up to the point where a single visit becomes a longer job, and a regular schedule lets us plan the route and keep the bill steady from one season to the next.
| 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.
Across Washington, most of our customers book twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and one crew handles gutter and window cleaning in one visit because the timing lines up. The spring visit falls in mid to late June across Washington, and in Mill Creek East the fall visit usually lands in late November to December.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters, which is why this is the visit where window and gutter cleaning matters most. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and the wet leaves sit against the downspout elbows until the first heavy rains of the season. Across Washington, atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts bring the heavy rain that sends runoff down the wall, so winter and early spring storms move the dates a little, and we keep the schedule flexible rather than fixed.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits, and clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia. Multi-story buildings and steep roofs take longer, because the crew works from a boom or scissor lift. 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 more grit on the glass, and those spots need a second pass to remove dirt the first pass misses. The same pattern shows up on residential and commercial buildings, since both sit close to the same traffic and dust. We set the frequency after the first visit rather than guessing from the street.
You will usually notice the windows need attention when the glass looks hazy only at certain times of day, when the sun is low. You will notice the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspouts. We rely on purified water rather than cleaning solutions for the glass, and our crew works outside, so windows inside the house are never on the visit. If you see either sign between scheduled visits, text us a photo and we will tell you what it is.
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 Mill Creek East and cleans the exterior glass and gutters on residential properties throughout the city. To start, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Our cleaning services cover both jobs in one visit, because many window cleaners skip the gutters entirely. Professional window cleaning means every window we can reach from outside gets done, with the sill wiped and the frame cleared. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and both show from the street. We send back a quote for both jobs, and once you accept, we pick a day from the calendar. To schedule service, reply with the day that suits you, and we confirm it in writing.
The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so if you want a date in those months it helps to book early. Outside those windows there is usually more room. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and we send photos of the finished runs and glass to your phone before the crew leaves.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning happens in one visit by the same two-person crew, gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty comes down onto the clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before booking. Townhomes and condos with exterior glass are quoted by the same two numbers. For residential properties, we do not quote a figure without a residential window count and the stories.
Yes, and that is most of our calls. On our jobs the outside carries most of what builds up here: pollen in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Exterior cleaning helps remove dirt the weather leaves on the glass, and the inside is not part of this visit.
Across Washington, spring visits fall in mid to late June. Our Mill Creek East customers mostly book late November to December for fall. Those are the months we see the most build-up, so booking then keeps the job on schedule.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts, then give the wall a few minutes to drain before anyone touches the glass, so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior work. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
Not on this visit. We do exterior window cleaning and gutter cleaning only. Interior glass and pressure washing are not part of the job.
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 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.
