Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Washington, most of our customers book us in the spring and fall, when pollen and 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Window washing on the outside of the glass is quoted the same way, and our window cleaners quote the whole house at once, not pane by pane. Doing the gutters and the windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the figure before anyone is scheduled.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A high count of oversized panes adds glass to the day, and picture windows count as panes on the quote. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more time at each run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is left behind by any cleaning, so we tell you about it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside the house are a separate job and are not in this quote. Professional window cleaning takes longer than a quick rinse, and that time is what the number on the phone covers.
Here is the piece most people leave out when they ask for a number. The stories and the window count tell us most of what we need, and a photo of the front of the house usually fills in the rest. Clogged gutters that run over the edge in rain also raise the cost of the job, because water damage on the fascia or the wall below is something we want to see and photograph before we leave. On multi-story buildings the same logic applies, only with more ladder setups. Clean gutters and clean glass also help curb appeal, since the front of the house is the first thing the street sees. Ask for the written estimate and we will break it down for you line by line.
| 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, our spring visits run mid to late June and our fall visits run October to early November, so most residential properties on our schedule get two rounds a year, with the same crew doing the gutters and the glass on each visit. The pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters each spring. In the fall it is the leaf load, and the wet mat that comes with it is what sags the runs by winter. Our cleaning services check every window on the house from the ground up, so each visit starts from what the crew saw last time. Storm and wind seasons move those dates a little, and we adjust the schedule to match the weather.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the year. A residential window hit by a sprinkler line gets spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the sill and in the channel. For these we suggest adding a visit rather than waiting for a problem to show up on the house. Regular cleanings keep these houses from reaching that point.
Two signs tell you it is time without a calendar. Clean windows look clear in a low sun, so a haze that only shows at that angle means the glass is due. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, text us a photo and we will tell you what we see from the ladder. To schedule service before the spring or fall rush, call (866) 435-6328.
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 washing services and window cleaning services for residential and commercial buildings across the city, and we schedule a visit once we have the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times depend on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are at their worst, our calendar fills faster, so it is worth calling early. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo and we will tell you the next open date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and again when we are on the way, so you are not waiting at the door. The crew works from the outside, handles the gutters and downspouts, and wipes the sills before moving to the glass. Runoff from the roof has to be cleared before the glass is touched, so the gutters come first. Grime on the sill and in the channel is taken off on the same visit, and the crew works to remove dirt from the frames before moving on. We carry the water and the equipment, so there is no hookup to arrange on your side.
Our crew also handles the cleaning of condos and other shared buildings where the gutters and windows add up across several units. If your property is one of those, text us the number of stories and the approximate window count and we will give you a quote for the whole building.
Yes. Our crew does both, and they work the gutters first and the glass last on the same visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text before anything is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the glass looks different within a week of the outside being done.
Across Washington, our spring visits run mid to late June and our fall visits run October to early November. Regular cleanings in those two windows keep the glass and gutters from building up.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the water from the roof is already gone before the windows are touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the window job, and none of it is a separate line on the invoice.
On this visit we do the exterior glass only. We do not do pressure washing or interior window cleaning, so this visit does not cover the interior and exterior of the glass together. Ask when you book which cleaning solutions the glass will get.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
