Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across Washington, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, when the glass and the gutters both need it.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that holds for every one of our washing services jobs. Our rates for the bundle are set by stories and window count rather than by the hour, so you can plan around it before anyone is on a ladder. Multi-story buildings take longer than a single-story house, and the quote reflects the stories before the crew arrives.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of window cleaning services needs for oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no window washing removes. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this quote covers the outside only.
Across Washington we ask for the same three things before we quote: the number of stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. With those we can give you a number over the phone. Repeat cleanings are priced on the same stories and window count, so the second visit has no surprises. Once on site, the crew photographs every run and every pane, so the invoice matches what was agreed. Our standard practice is to treat each house as its own job, whether it is one of the condos with few panes or a home with a long run of grime on the back wall. This page describes house jobs only, so if you are comparing residential and commercial quotes, check that each one covers the same scope. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.

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 both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a paste of seeds in the gutters. In fall we find the leaf load and the wet mat that sits on the roofline until the first hard rain.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road often need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and the window and gutter pair behaves differently from one lot to the next. Regular cleanings through the year keep pollen and grime from setting on the glass. Dust builds up faster on houses with heavy shade, so those are the jobs we see most often on a three or four visit schedule. Clogged gutters that go unchecked lead to water damage on the fascia and the wall below.
Haze on the glass when the sun is low is usually dust that the rain did not wash off, and the crew uses purified water to remove dirt from frames and glass. You will notice gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout. Clogged gutters send runoff over the edge and down the wall, which is what leaves the streaks under the eaves. Cleaning solutions do not replace the clearing of clogged gutters, and the crew checks both on every visit so neither gets skipped.
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 work across Washington with crews that do both jobs in one visit, and we are one of the window cleaners in Mountlake Terrace homeowners pick when they want cleaning services that match the work on their house. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate: the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies by season, and we give you the realistic date when we quote, so you can plan around it.
The two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, fill the calendar fastest, so if you want a particular week it is worth asking early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Professional window cleaning means the crew cleans every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, so the glass shows the curb appeal you expect. When you are ready to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the week that works, and we will confirm the slot.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters first and the glass second, so you deal with one visit and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before the visit. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
Usually yes on our jobs, because rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside. A residential window under heavy tree cover collects the most of it, and residential properties near trees show it first.
Across Washington our customers book in spring and fall, which is when the glass and the gutters need it most.
No, gutters first, glass last. When the glass is done after the gutters, the runoff from the roof does not land on it, which keeps the water damage down.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, and the gutters and downspouts are included in the same visit, so you do not pay for them separately.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of the quote. We do not pressure wash.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
