Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We work gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean panes.
We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Across Washington, most of our customers book the job in the spring and fall, and the crew that does the gutters is the crew that does the glass.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our washing services are one quote that covers window washing and the gutters: the number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it does not change once the crew is on the ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Our window cleaning services take more time on a third story or a roof too steep to walk, and that takes more equipment. Oversized panes that need the boom or scissor lift add to the job. Grime that has baked onto the glass for a season takes longer to lift. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the quote too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it, and we tell you about it before we start.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, so the runoff from the roof is gone before the glass is touched, and we remove dirt from the sills and frames as we go. The same quote logic applies to condos: the stories and window count set the price.
On a customer's house with a lot of tree cover and two stories, the quote came in higher than the same-size house with no trees, because the gutters were full of needles and the window count was high. We told the owner what we found before the crew started, so the number on the phone matched the invoice. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will tell you what the job costs before a truck gets to your street.

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 customers here book regular cleanings 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. The window and gutter schedule runs on the same dates because the same things fall on the house in the same seasons.
In the spring, we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters, and a rinse alone does not lift it, so the crew brings cleaning solutions for the glass. Pollen lands the same way on residential and commercial buildings alike. In the fall, the leaf load is heavy and the storm season moves the dates, so we book around the weather. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the picture windows (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit.
On our Silver Firs jobs, one customer with no trees books twice a year and is done in a morning. Another with trees over the roof and sprinkler spotting is on three or four visits, because the needles and the spotting come back between cleanings. Both are cleaned by the same crew, and both get the same photos of every run.
Haze on the outside glass that you only notice when the sun is low means the windows need the cleaning. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so tell us which you mean when you call. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in the rain means the gutters need it. If either happens between visits, call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule the next one.
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 cleaning services run across Silver Firs, from older houses with steep roofs to multi-story buildings and newer homes with large windows. If you searched for window cleaners and found a crew that only does glass, we do the gutters in the same visit. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Professional window cleaning keeps curb appeal up, and clean glass and clear gutters both do their part.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your number of stories. Multi-story buildings take more time on the ladder, so the floor count matters. We will send you a written estimate for the bundle, and you pick a date from the open slots. In the spring and fall our calendar fills first, so the sooner you ask, the sooner the crew can come out.
We do the gutters and the exterior glass only. Clogged gutters get cleared as part of the visit, because clogged gutters that overflow are the usual route to water damage at the fascia. The crew does not clean windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. For the windows inside, ask us about the scope of the job when you call.
Yes, our crew does both in the same visit, gutters first and glass last. The same people do the roof blow-off, the gutter clearing, the downspout flushing, and then the exterior windows.
The number for residential window and gutter work comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a number here without those details.
Yes. Clean windows start outside, because the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots sit on the pane no matter how the inside looks.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service for your visit.
No, gutters and downspouts are cleared first and glass last, so the water from the gutters has already run off before the glass is cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and the sill is wiped on every window as part of the job, so you do not pay extra for them. Tracks are included in the exterior glass work.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit; interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home at residential properties, since the crew works from the outside. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
