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 the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Tukwila jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the leaf loads and tree dust are heaviest.
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. Booked together in one visit, the bundle costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned 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 no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one Tukwila job the quote came in higher than the customer expected because the house had two stories plus a sunroom roof, a row of picture windows across the back, and a gutter run that had not been opened in several years. Once the crew saw the packed elbows and the window count, the number on the phone matched the invoice. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you what the job takes in our own words. Our window washing and washing services are priced from those details, and the grime on the glass is the one thing the photo tells us most about. Window cleaning services on a house this size are quoted the same way, and gutter cleanings follow the same rule.
| 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 Tukwila customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall after the leaves come down. Running them on the same calendar is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On the south-facing glass in the spring we see a pollen film, and the gutters hold a sticky paste that clogs the downspout elbows. In the fall the leaf load builds up, and clogged gutters hold a wet mat until the first rain.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and a gutter that overflows at the corner can lead to water damage at the fascia. Multi-story buildings with tall glass add ladder time, so the quote reflects the extra height. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and only a mineral treatment removes them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more dust on the frames than the rest. We tell you which of these your house has after the first visit, so you are not guessing at the schedule.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. A visit is how we remove dirt from the glass, frames and sills before that haze builds back. We clean with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the glass to draw new dust. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of falling clear 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 cleans gutters and windows on residential and commercial buildings across Tukwila, and people in the area often compare us with the cleaning services and window cleaners they book. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times depend on the season, and we call before we come, so you know the day and the window before the truck arrives. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in both. Booking a slot a few weeks ahead keeps the professional window cleaning on your house at the time you want, and window cleaning services are easiest to fit in before the busy weeks. If you want the job done before a family event or a sale, tell us when you need it and we will tell you whether we can schedule service for that week. Every window on the house is on the estimate, so the number holds when the crew arrives. The sill and frame are part of that count, which is part of why the crew can keep the curb appeal of the outside of the house consistent from one visit to the next.
Yes, on our residential window jobs it is the same two people. The crew clears the gutters and flushes the downspouts first, then cleans the outside of the windows, so the dirty water from the gutters never lands on clean glass.
We do not quote a figure on the page, because the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and a condo is priced the same way from its floors and window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside collects rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits. The inside can look fine while the outside is hazy in low sun.
Most of our Tukwila customers book in the spring after the winter rain and again in the fall after the leaves come down, twice a year.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first, let the wall dry, and only then clean the glass, so runoff from the runs never washes across the panes.
On residential properties, screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the window work, and none of that is billed as an extra.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, so the windows inside the house and any pressure washing are not part of the price. An interior and exterior job is quoted as a separate visit.
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.
