Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dripping off the roof ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most customers book it for spring and fall, when leaves and grime hurt curb appeal the most. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us for a quote, and we will tell you the number we charge before the crew is on the ladder.
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 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 on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Glass is cleaned with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind to streak.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote on multi-story buildings are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized or picture windows, gutters 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 sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Each of these adds time on the ladder, so we ask about them before we quote.
Here is one job that shows how it works. A two-story house in Renton had its gutters full of wet leaves and a row of picture windows facing a sprinkler line. We quoted it from the stories and the window count, flagged the spotting on the phone so there were no surprises, and cleared the runs before touching the glass. The owner got the same number on the invoice that we gave on the call, with photos of each run before the crew left. You can get the same kind of quote by texting us a photo of the front of your house along with the number of stories.

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 Renton customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit makes that schedule simple. Each visit is tuned to what the calendar brings. In spring the downspout elbows fill with seeds and pollen paste, and south-facing glass picks up a pollen film that shows up as haze once the sun is low. In fall the leaf load is what matters, and the wet leaf mat is heavy enough to sag a run that has not been cleared.
Some Renton homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps shedding needles and grit between cleanings, which is when clogged gutters start to show up in the rain and can lead to water damage. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass than one out in a quiet cul-de-sac. These are the cases where regular cleanings beat waiting for a visible problem.
Two of our Renton customers show the range. One has no trees over the roof and books once in late fall, and that is enough for that house. Another has heavy trees and a sprinkler line on the front windows, and is on three or four visits a year. We will tell you which pattern your house matches after the first visit.
Watch for two signs that the windows need attention: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and streaks that come back after a rain. For gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in a heavy rain instead of running down the downspout. Either one means it is time to book a 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 exterior windows across Renton, and we handle the window and gutter cleaning on one visit at residential properties. Every residential window on the outside of the house is part of that visit. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we can give you the number before we schedule the date. This page covers houses; for a residential and commercial building, say so on the call so the quote matches the job. Typical lead time is listed on the booking page for your address.
The calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring cleanup window and the fall leaf drop, so book early if you want a slot in those months. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our crew does not promise a same-day visit unless the calendar shows one, so ask us what is open when you call to schedule service.
The goal is clean windows on the outside of each house: every window reachable from the ground or the pole, with the frame and sill along with it, to remove dirt that would otherwise run back onto the glass. If there is a window we cannot reach safely, we will photograph it and tell you before the job so you know what was left out.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean windows.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters, and we give it by phone or text. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Interior and exterior glass collect different dirt, and on most Renton houses the outside carries more than the inside does: rain dust, spring grime, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. The inside can look fine while the outside is hazy in low sun, which is the glass professional window cleaning is meant to reach from the pole.
Most of our Renton customers book in spring, once the spring growth settles, and again in fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the busiest months, so booking early helps. If you live in one of the condos where the gutter runs are shared, check with the building before you book.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass, so nothing runs back onto the panes.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. Tracks are included on exterior work where they can be reached from outside.
We do not do pressure washing on this visit, and we do not clean the glass on windows inside the house. Our washing services cover exterior glass and gutters only.
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.
