Yes, the same two people handle window and gutter cleaning for your house in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the clean windows are not dirtied twice. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across Washington, most homeowners who book us do it in the spring and fall, when the spring haze and the leaves are heaviest on the house.
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 our window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two window cleaning services separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We do not quote a figure from a general chart; we need the stories, the rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, by phone or text.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a steep roof that is hard to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a lot of small panes add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, take longer to clear, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add to the work. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler runoff is not something a cleaning removes, so we note it on the visit. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping every sill are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras.
Here is how the experience looks for a Minnehaha home. Each job is a little different, and the thing that moves the number most is the house itself. When you call (866) 435-6328, tell us how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street and yard, and whether the gutters have been done recently. Condos and townhomes that share a roof line take a different route, so say which one you have. Pricing follows how much effort it takes to remove dirt from the glass and the gutters, not a flat rate. If you text a photo of the front of the house, we can usually tell you what kind of visit it will be before we book the day. That is how you get the exact number, not a guess from a neighbor.
| 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 homeowners book both jobs twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, and those cleanings are timed to the spring haze and the leaves, which is why a window and gutter visit by one crew makes sense for the calendar. The seasons shape a residential and commercial calendar the same way, so the spring and fall pattern holds across Washington. On the Minnehaha jobs we see the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters in the spring. In the fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and it is the wet leaf mat that sags the hangers if nobody clears it before the rain.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, so we book by the state of the house rather than the calendar alone. Some houses need a third visit between regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames, screens and picture windows, so it does not stay clean as long. Where a film needs more than water, the crew uses cleaning solutions and says so on the visit.
A clear sign the windows need a cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. A clear sign the gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, call us and we will tell you what we find. Our booking confirms what is covered, so there is no question later about interior and exterior work.
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 Minnehaha, and we book slots through a phone call or a text, so you can schedule service the same way. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate and a date, with the usual lead time for your area. In the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves and the spring grime are heavy, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
We do cleaning services of this kind for residential properties with several floors, and the same crew handles the multi-story buildings in a single visit where it makes sense. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so our window cleaners work on the outside of the glass and do professional window cleaning on every residential window we reach from the ground or from a pole. Any clogged gutters are cleared before the glass is touched, so the water runs down the right way and leaves no water damage on the wall. A house with curb appeal worth keeping is one we work to keep clean on the outside, and we say so when we book.
Yes. Our crew does window and gutter cleaning together, the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty gutter water does not run across the clean windows. It is the same two people on the same visit.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it over the phone or by text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what a residential window collects here, including pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the outside is where the visible haze builds up.
Most of our homeowners here book in the spring and in the fall, and across Washington that is the usual pattern too. Book the date when you call to schedule service, so the slot is held.
Not with our order of work. Gutters are cleared, downspouts are flushed, and the wall is given a few minutes to drip before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job on all residential properties we clean. Tracks are included in the window work, so there is nothing extra to add on the day.
No. This visit covers the exterior of every window we can reach, and nothing inside. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
