Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Poulsbo customers book it in the spring and fall, which is why we built the visit around those two seasons.
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.
Our window cleaning services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we will confirm it before the crew is scheduled.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: multi-story buildings or a roof steep enough that the work needs a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized panes, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window washing with purified water is the core of our washing services on the outside glass, and we treat every window the same way.
The cleanest way to get an exact number is to send us the stories and a rough window count, plus a photo of the front of the house by text, and tell us whether it is one of the condos in a shared building. A quick look at the photo tells us whether the gutters are a simple run or a job that needs more time on a ladder, and whether the windows are a standard set or a lot of picture windows. From there the quote is straightforward. Gutters that have been left alone for a long time often fill the downspouts with grit and runoff residue. The crew has to remove dirt from the downspout before it runs clear, and the grime that comes with it is included. If something more serious shows up, like a pulled hanger or a seam that is dripping, the crew photographs it and reports it to you, and nobody on the ladder is going to sell you a repair.
Last spring a customer with a split-level home and tall picture windows at the back asked why the quote came in higher than the front-of-house estimate. The answer was in the back run: the gutters ran up to a roofline that needed a lift, and the glass on that side was all large panes that take more time to do properly. Once we walked through what the crew would see, the number matched the invoice to the dollar.
| 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 Poulsbo customers book the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and these regular cleanings are the simplest way to cover both. In spring, the pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and on picture windows, and the pollen paste packs the downspout elbows. The crew uses purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left on the glass to streak, and the window cleaning removes what the rain has not already washed off. In fall, the leaf load arrives in a wet mat, and clogged gutters are the first thing to fail when the hard rains start.
Washington weather moves those dates a little from year to year. The storm and wind seasons that come through the state push leaves and debris into the gutters faster than usual, and a strong set of fronts in late fall can mean the fall visit should come earlier. The same calendar serves residential and commercial jobs. We would rather book you on the calendar before that happens than after.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and a house on a busy road picks up more dust on the glass. A sprinkler line that hits the windows leaves spots that come back a day after the cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment rather than a second pass on the glass. Interior and exterior glass are separate visits for us, and this one is outside only. If your house falls into one of those, we will say so after the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze on them that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running down through the downspout. Both are good reasons to call before the next season rather than after.
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 has cleaned houses across Poulsbo for years, and we know how the window and gutter cleaning services here differ from one street to the next. Some window cleaners quote by the window; we quote by stories, because the stories decide how much of the work needs a lift. Booking works the same way everywhere. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us, tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a quote and a date. We call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway.
Lead time changes with the season. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen drop and the leaf drop arrive, so booking early in those months gets you the date you want. Outside those windows there is usually more room to schedule. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside, so the windows inside the house stay as they are.
We are a gutter and window cleaning crew, not a general exterior contractor, and professional window cleaning is what we do, so we keep it that way on purpose. Clogged gutters that sit through a wet winter can lead to water damage at the fascia, so when a visit turns up one, we report it with photos and leave the decision to you. This page covers residential properties, and questions about residential and commercial buildings go to the same phone line.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first so the glass is not dirtied again afterward.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact number before anything is booked, so you can schedule service on the same call.
Usually yes on a residential window set in Poulsbo, because the outside carries the pollen film in spring, rain dust through the wet months and sprinkler spots where a line hits the glass. Clean windows on the outside also let more light through, and every window in the house benefits from that.
Our Poulsbo customers book in late spring and in the fall, before the first hard rains. Booking early in those months gets you the date you want, and the calendar fills faster in the busy windows.
No, because the crew does the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and black water come down the wall, and washing the glass after that means nothing gets dirtied again.
Screens are rinsed, every sill is wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so they are not billed as extras.
We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass and gutters on residential properties only.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
