Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. On our Mill Creek jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up enough to matter.
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 the window and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and when you book both in one visit the bundle costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a larger window count with oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job on every one of our cleanings, and they are not billed as extras. Our cleaning solutions are purified water, so the glass dries without residue, and the residential and commercial work we do follows the same order of work. Our quotes cover exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work is a separate question, so the number on the phone is for the outside of the house.
To get an exact number, tell us the stories, the approximate window count, and whether the gutters have been cleaned in the last year. A photo of the front of the house by text is enough for most houses, and it lets us see the roofline before the crew is booked. If you want regular cleanings, mention it on the call so the estimate covers the repeat visits too.
| 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.
Most of our Mill Creek customers book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Washington the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and storm season, driven by atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts, moves the dates a little from year to year.
At the spring visit we find a film of grit on south-facing glass and a paste of wet needles in the gutters. At the fall visit the leaf load is the main job, and the wet mat sits in the gutters and downspouts through the first heavy rains. Houses under heavy tree cover, where the roof stays in shade, usually need a third visit, because grit and needles keep packing the downspouts. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is the other reason for a third visit, since those spots come back a day after cleaning, and a gutter that keeps spilling over the edge is how water damage gets into the fascia.
Nothing in this section comes from general advice; it is what we see on our own jobs. Customers who book cleaning services from us on a regular schedule tend to see fewer problems with clogged gutters, and the crew can tell from the first visit whether your lot needs a third trip or whether twice a year is enough. Professional window cleaning is the same kind of job from one house to the next, which keeps the process predictable. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so haze on that side of the glass is not something the crew will fix.
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.
We offer window and gutter cleaning across Mill Creek. Most of the work is residential window and gutter jobs on residential properties, plus the occasional commercial building, multi-story buildings included, and each gets the same crew and the same order of work. Booking starts with a phone call or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time is in the estimate, and we will tell you the first date the calendar opens. In the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and the leaves arrive, our calendar fills faster, so booking early is the simplest way to get on the schedule.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Schedule service with us and the crew will confirm the arrival window the day before. Every window on the outside of the house gets done, including the top floor from the pole, and every sill gets wiped. You get clean windows on every floor, not just the ones at eye level. If something cannot be reached safely, the crew photographs it and tells you before leaving.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two people clean the gutters first and the outside of the windows second, so the water and grime from the gutters never lands on clean glass.
We do not give a number from averages. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before anything is booked.
On our Mill Creek jobs the outside carries rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime that the inside never sees, so the outside is where most of the grime builds up. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt that would otherwise sit on the glass all season.
Our customers here usually book for the fall visit in late November to December, and for the spring visit, which across Washington falls in mid to late June. Booking a few weeks ahead of those windows gets you on the calendar.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the debris and black runoff come down the wall, so the glass waits until every downspout is flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included in the same visit unless the crew finds them packed with grit that needs longer work, which we tell you about first.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. Exterior glass is the whole job, and our washing services stay on that side of the house so the price stays clear.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. If the home is one of several condos in a building, tell us when you book so the crew knows which windows and gutters are yours. Text (866) 435-6328 if anything changes.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
