Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every window on your house in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Spanaway jobs, most customers book in the spring and fall, when tree debris and leaf loads build up.
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 residential window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and washing services are quoted on the same basis, so you compare one number. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and a steep roof change how long the ladder work takes. Window count and oversized panes change the glass time. Gutters and downspouts packed with grime take longer to clear, and a clogged run sends runoff over the edge and down the siding. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so 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, and they are what remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass.
On our Spanaway jobs, the quotes that run longest are the ones with the most window work and the heaviest gutter buildup. A condo or a two-story house with a lot of glass on the south side will see more time on the glass than a single-story house with few panes. To get the exact number, send us a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us how many stories it has. We check the photo against the count and call you back with the figure for both jobs.

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 Spanaway customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar.
In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. The downspout elbows fill with it, and the film on the window sills shows up as a yellow haze in low sun. In fall the problem is the leaf load, which builds up in the gutters and sits wet against the fascia through the rainy months. Spring film and fall leaf film need different cleaning solutions, so the crew checks which one is on the glass before it starts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, so we book around the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often where heavy tree cover hangs over the roof, where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or where the house sits near a busy road or construction. These are the places where regular cleanings need to come sooner. Picture windows and large panes show every streak and haze, so they tend to get noticed first.
The window tells you when it needs cleaning: a haze you only see when the sun is low, or spots that return after a rain. Most of that haze forms on the outside, so a visit covers the exterior glass, and we spell out the interior and exterior split when we book. The gutter tells you when it needs cleaning: water sheeting over the edge during a storm instead of running into the downspout.
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 works on residential properties across Spanaway. If your building is both residential and commercial, say so when you call, and we will tell you whether the crew takes it. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We send a written estimate, and when the slot is set we call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the photos of every gutter run and the finished glass go to your phone before they leave. The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills fastest in those weeks, so the earlier you call, the better the chance of a slot that suits you.
We work on window cleaners' standard tools and the same water-fed poles used on multi-story buildings, which reach upper-story glass without a ladder against the siding. Clogged gutters are the first thing we clear, because water left sitting in them is what causes water damage to fascia and soffit. A professional window cleaning visit that starts with the gutters keeps the glass clean once the job is finished. Our window cleaning services follow that order on every house.
Yes. The same two people do both on your house in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty gutter water never runs onto clean windows. You get one appointment and one invoice.
We do not quote a figure on the page. The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories, and we will call back with the price for both jobs.
On our Spanaway jobs, the outside carries the spring film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Those sit on the outside of the glass, so the inside can look fine while the outside is hazy in low sun. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the windows look from the street, which is where most of the curb appeal comes from.
Our Spanaway customers book in spring and fall, when tree debris and leaf loads build up. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which visit fits your house before the calendar fills.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so anything that washes down the wall is rinsed off before the windows are touched. Doing it in that order is the whole reason the two jobs belong in one visit.
Screens are taken down and rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on request during the visit. None of these are billed as separate extras.
Exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
