Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, when the grit and leaves are heaviest on the houses we clean.
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 cost of window and gutter cleaning comes down to stories, window count and what is sitting in the gutters. We quote it by phone or text from those three things, and the number we give you is the number we charge. Doing both jobs in one visit is cheaper than booking window washing and gutter cleaning separately, because one of our washing services setups covers the gutters and downspouts and the glass together.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are multi-story buildings, a roof steep enough that the crew cannot walk it, oversized picture windows that take a boom or scissor lift instead of a pole, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue: no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get to the exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 and tell us the stories, count the windows roughly, and text a photo of the front of the house. A photo shows us the roof pitch, the tree cover and whether the grime is mostly on the glass or in the gutters, and that usually settles the price before anyone climbs a ladder. Regular cleanings keep the job small; a house that has gone a few years without anyone removing dirt from the glass, with water damage starting at the fascia, takes longer and costs more to bring back.
| 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 Olympia customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky tree debris packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and clogged gutters full of wet leaves sag under the weight of winter rain. The storm and wind seasons that come off the Pacific can move those dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. A residential window under a sprinkler line, heavy tree cover over the roof, or a house near a busy road or construction all leave more residue behind, and those are the places where spots come back a day after cleaning. On a house like that we plan the third visit into the schedule from the start rather than waiting for the complaint.
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 during rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either one, the window and gutter cleaning is due, and the spring and fall visits are the natural time to get ahead of it.
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 crews clean residential properties across the Olympia area and book through a single phone line, so the first step is always the same. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you a phone estimate and a date. The booking is the same for residential and commercial jobs. Our professional window cleaning crew calls before they come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work because the crew does not come inside. Our cleaning services run on one schedule, so the gutters and the glass are booked together, and nothing goes on the glass but purified water, which means no cleaning solutions are left on the panes.
The busy windows are the spring and fall visit months, when our calendar fills with the window cleaners and gutter crews who are working the same houses. If you want a slot in those windows, book early; our window cleaning services fill first. Booking a window and gutter cleaning in the quiet months is usually easier. Either way, our schedule service keeps track of the spring and fall dates for each house so you are not chasing a reminder. We care about curb appeal and about every window on the house getting the same attention, and that is why each visit ends with photos of the finished glass and each run.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last so the runoff from the roofline never lands on clean glass.
We do not quote a number from a general rule. The price comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and condos and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way. We give you the figure by phone or text before anyone books, and the number we give is the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside carries the dust film, rain grit and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy when the sun is low.
Our customers here book in the spring and fall visit months, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves fall. Book in the quieter months if you can, because the busy windows fill up first.
Not with our order of work. Gutters first, glass last means the runoff, leaves and grit from the runs come down before anyone touches the panes, so the glass stays clean through the visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the crew will remove dirt from the tracks on the exterior side. None of that shows up as a separate line on the invoice.
We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. This is exterior window cleaning and gutter cleaning only, not interior and exterior work.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
