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 down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Washington, our customers book this in spring and fall, and the Port Townsend houses we clean follow the same pattern.
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 residential and commercial jobs by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking the gutters and the outside glass together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so you know what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that runs high or includes oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. We use no harsh cleaning solutions, just purified water, so nothing is left to streak. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras.
For a window and gutter cleaning quote, the most useful thing you can send is the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text. We can usually tell from that whether the gutters are the bigger job or the glass is, and we will say so on the call. Pollen and leaf debris in the gutters adds time, and so does a house with a lot of glass, including picture windows that take longer to reach safely. Multi-story buildings are priced by the story, so a third floor shows up on the quote. If you have a regular cleanings schedule in mind, tell us on the phone and we will quote that rate, so the number matches what you plan to book.
On a two-story house with a lot of glass on one side and gutters that have gone several seasons without clearing, the gutters take the longest, the glass takes the rest of the morning, and the quote given on the phone is the invoice at the end of the day.
| 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.
Many houses get both jobs twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across Washington, the spring visit comes in mid to late June, and the fall visit in Port Townsend usually lands in late November to December. Atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts across Washington can shift both dates, so we confirm the window on the phone.
At each visit the window cleaners on our crew find something different. In the spring we see pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the winter, along with the runoff it throws onto the siding when it rains. Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means clogged gutters and downspouts with needles and grit between visits, so those houses need more frequent work.
Some houses, and multi-story buildings especially, need a third visit. We schedule a third visit when there is heavy tree cover over the roof, when a sprinkler line hits the glass (the spots that come back a day after cleaning), or when the house sits near a busy road or construction. Those are the cases where the spotting and the grime come back faster than a twice-a-year schedule can handle, so the third visit is how we remove dirt before it builds up.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low, and it takes the curb appeal of a house down more than most owners expect. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain, which is how water damage starts on fascia and siding. If you see either one, call and we will schedule service on the next available date, and ask about professional window cleaning on the same visit.
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 cleans gutters and windows across Port Townsend, and we book window and gutter cleaning as one job on the same visit. Our window cleaning services cover every residential window, from the sill up to the top floor, and the outside glass gets done in the same visit as the gutters. To get an estimate, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. From that we can usually give you a date, and lead time depends on the season and the calendar at the time you call.
Two windows of the year fill fastest for us. In spring, when the pollen film builds on the glass and in the gutters, the calendar gets tight. In fall, after the leaves drop, it fills again. If you want a slot in either window, book early and we will hold the date, so your clean windows are not waiting on a full calendar.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works from the outside of the house. Our residential properties and our commercial work follow the same order of work, so every window and every run gets the same attention whichever type of building you have.
Yes. Our washing services put the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, with a two-person crew doing the gutters first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters never reaches clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text from those details. We will not give a range here because the house decides it.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the grime and the sprinkler spots, so the outside glass gets dirty even when the inside is clean.
Across Washington, the spring visit falls in mid to late June. In Port Townsend, the fall visit runs late November to December, and we plan the visit around that.
No. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters runs down onto the panes after they are washed.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the job, so none of those are billed as extras.
We do exterior windows only on this visit. Windows inside the house are a separate job, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Yes. Condos are quoted the same way as a house, by stories and window count, and the crew cleans the outside glass and the gutters in one visit. Tell us the number of stories when you call.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
