The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. 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. Most of our Washougal customers book a residential window and gutter job in spring and fall, after the spring bloom and before the leaves come down.
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.
Window washing is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Our washing services bundle gutters and downspouts with the glass, and booked together in one visit, the two jobs cost less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you an exact figure from those details.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. Steep roofs and third stories take longer to reach. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes to remove dirt. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a typical Washougal two-story with large picture windows across the front and a mature tree line over the back roof, the gutters often need a second pass before the crew can move to the glass. The quote covers both passes, and the invoice matches the phone estimate. To get your exact number, send us the story count and a rough window count, and we will walk you through the rest.

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 Washougal customers book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Washington, the pattern is the same: the spring bloom and the fall leaf drop are the two times the glass and the gutters need the most attention.
In the spring, the pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, especially around the downspout elbows. In the fall, the leaf load on the roof and in the runs is the main job. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from what the house looks like, not only from the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters filling between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up extra grime on the sills and the lower panes. These are the cases where regular cleanings beat a single yearly visit.
Two signs tell you the windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and water that sheets over the gutter edge during rain. Either one means it is time to book.
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 with residential properties across Washougal and the surrounding area, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring bloom and the leaves are heaviest. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will give you an estimate and the earliest slot on our calendar. Lead time depends on the season, so ask us when you call. Calls about residential and commercial buildings come to the same line, and we will tell you on the phone whether the crew can take the job.
Our experienced window cleaning services cover residential homes, townhouses and condos, and the same crew handles professional window cleaning for the outside glass alone when that is all you need. We clean the outside of every window with purified water and no cleaning solutions, including upper-story panes on multi-story buildings, reached from a pole, and we do not clean windows inside. Clogged gutters are cleared before the glass, because water running off a clogged run is one of the main sources of water damage to the wall and sill below.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, we work outside the house, and we send photos of every run and every pane before we leave. Our goal is curb appeal you can see from the street without any surprises on the invoice.
Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass last, so dirty water does not land on clean panes. You get one booking, one invoice, and photos of both.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before the crew comes out.
Usually yes for the outside, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass in Washougal. Inside glass is a separate job we do not do on this visit, so the outside is what we clean.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall. Spring clears the film left by the season's bloom, and fall clears the leaf load ahead of the wettest stretch, November through January.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, and give the wall a few minutes to drip before anyone touches the glass, which is why the order always runs gutters first and glass last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned on the exterior side. None of them is billed as a separate extra.
Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. This visit covers the exterior glass only, so we do not do interior windows or pressure washing, and the job stays focused on the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. The crew sends photos of every run and pane before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
