Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. Our window cleaning services and gutter work come as one job, priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall visits here, and most of the Mukilteo customers we see book both in the same window of the year. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote before we come.
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.
The price comes down to stories and window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is the story count and roof pitch, the number and size of the panes including the picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, cleaning solutions, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Pricing for interior and exterior glass differs, and this quote covers the exterior only. We quote residential and commercial glass by the same story and window count, though this page is about houses.
On a window and gutter cleaning job the crew looks at the front of the house first, then the roofline, then the glass. Pollen film on the south-facing panes and the paste in the elbows usually add time on a spring visit, and a long run of residential window frames with grime on the sills adds time on any visit. We also count the cleanings a house has had, since a house on regular cleanings runs faster than one that has gone a year. To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the story count and a rough window count, and we will quote from that.
| 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 customers here book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Keeping the curb appeal up means the glass and the gutters stay clear between the big cleanings, and the cleaning services stay predictable from one year to the next.
Each visit tells us something different. In the spring we find the pollen film on the south-facing glass and a paste of seed and grit in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load, which packs the downspouts and sits in the gutters until the first rain. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day. Window cleaners who only do the glass miss what the gutters are carrying onto it, which is why we do the gutters first.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass often do. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house close to a busy road or construction usually needs one more visit a year. Those are the houses where the glass gets dirty faster than the schedule. Professional window cleaning on those houses is a different job than on a sheltered one, and we say so when we quote it.
The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain, which is the first sign of clogged gutters and often the start of water damage at the fascia.
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 clean the gutters and the outside of the glass on residential properties across Mukilteo, and the window and gutter cleaning is the same crew, the same visit, on every house. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then wash the glass. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Once the estimate is set, we give you a date window, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. If the calendar is full, we say so and give you the next open slot rather than a promise we cannot keep. Clean windows on every house are the goal, and every window gets the same treatment from the same squeegee and the same pure water. A sill with grit on it gets wiped, not skipped.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and then do the glass in the same visit, so our washing services come as one date and one invoice that matches the number we gave you on the phone.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house with those two numbers and we will quote it before we come out.
Yes, the outside carries the film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and none of that comes off when you wash windows inside the house. Our visit covers the outside only.
Most of our Mukilteo customers book in the spring and again in the fall, after the seed drop and after the leaves come down. Book early in those windows, because our calendar fills first then.
No, we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and the black runoff come down the wall, so the glass goes last and nothing lands on it afterward.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and we do not bill them as extras. Condos are quoted after we see the building, because the window count and shared gutters can change the price.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. Our exterior work uses pure water and a squeegee, which remove dirt from glass without leaving spots, and we say so up front rather than surprise you on the day.
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.
