Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Washington, most of the houses we clean are on a spring and fall schedule, and Richland is no different on our calendar. Tell us the stories and roughly how many windows, and we give you the number we charge.
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 window cleaning services done in one visit cost less than booking two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, because the crew measures what it quotes before it climbs.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof steep enough that nobody walks it changes the setup more than anything else. Oversized picture windows and large panes take longer per pane than standard sash, and a house with a lot of glass on the second floor needs more time on the pole. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take longer to clear and flush than a run that is cleaned on schedule. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and grime baked onto the glass or hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no regular cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
The number moves most on the parts of the house that change the setup: height, roof pitch, the size of the glass, and how long the gutters have gone without a clean. A rough count on the phone gets you close, and the crew confirms it when it arrives.
If you want the exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count. A rough count is fine, and the crew confirms it on the first visit. We clean exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior of a window are never billed as one job, and pressure washing or gutter repair is not in this price. Window washing on the outside is the same job whether it is one pane or the whole house, and the crew sets up once per side.
Standard exterior window washing services use purified water on a pole, scoped to what you see from the street and the yard. We also do regular cleanings on a set schedule, which is how most of our Richland customers keep the price flat year to year. Ask for the written estimate before the crew books the date.
| 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 Richland customers book the fall visit in late October to November, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across Washington, the spring visit runs mid to late June, and atmospheric rivers and Pacific fronts move the storm dates on some years. In spring, the window and gutter run gets its heaviest load: pollen film builds on south-facing glass, and a paste packs into the downspout elbows where water has to turn. Fall brings the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the gutters all winter.
In the spring months, the glass shows a yellow pollen film within a few weeks, and the gutters carry a paste that does not rinse off with a hose. In the leaf months, the gutters carry a wet mat that holds water against the fascia, which is how water damage starts. We book from what the house shows, not from the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit, and so do multi-story buildings. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all bring more grit and more spotting between visits. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, so those houses are the ones we adjust the schedule for first.
On a house with few or no trees, once a year in late fall is usually enough for the gutters, and the glass can go on the same visit. Under heavy trees we are on the house every three to four months, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A house on our schedule for a spring and fall visit keeps the cleaning solutions simple, and the window and gutter work stays on one crew.
Two signs tell you the windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, and a film that streaks when you wipe it. One sign tells you the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call before the next scheduled visit, not 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.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior windows on houses across Richland, and our calendar fills fastest in the fall window, late October to November, when the leaves are heaviest. Book early for that window. Outside it, the calendar opens up and most estimates turn into a date within the lead time we give you on the phone.
To schedule service, call or text the number on this page with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a number from those two things, and the crew calls before it comes, usually the day before, with an arrival window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not clean the windows inside.
Our window cleaners work as a professional window cleaning crew first, and the gutter work is part of the same visit. For a homeowner that means one contact for the whole outside of the house, one set of photos at the end, and clean glass and clear gutters that do more for curb appeal than most owners expect. Our work on this page is for residential properties, and residential and commercial jobs run on separate calendars, so we will tell you on the call if your building needs something different.
If your house has a lot of glass, a steep roof or a gutter run that has not been opened in years, say so when you book. Those are the houses where a crew with the right setup saves a second trip. The crew checks every window before it starts, so the count you gave on the phone matches the glass on the house. We schedule the boom or scissor lift on the calendar in advance when a house needs one, so the date you pick holds.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. You get one crew and one set of photos at the end.
The number comes from the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters. Send a text or call (866) 435-6328 and we quote from those, with no figure given in advance.
Yes, because the outside of every residential window carries the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and a cleaning is how you remove dirt that the weather leaves on the glass. Those sit on the glass whether or not the inside is clean.
Most of our Richland customers book late spring and late fall, after the pollen drops and after the leaves come down. Booking in those months fills the calendar, so ask for the date when you call.
No, because gutters go first and glass goes last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, the grit and the runoff come down the wall, so the glass gets washed after the gutters, not before.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the windows we clean. None of that is a separate line item on the invoice.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing, so the quote covers the outside of the windows and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home, and that holds for condos as well as houses. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
