Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in a single visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our White Center jobs, most customers book this combined visit in the spring and fall, when the tree debris and leaf loads 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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that number is built from those two inputs before anyone climbs a ladder.
On the day, the crew finds what actually drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof, large picture windows and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years, needles and leaves packed into the troughs, 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. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage we see when a house has gone a long time without a visit, so the crew checks every run.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough count of windows, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will take the count over the phone. For a house with a lot of glass or several multi-story buildings on one lot, we walk the site before quoting. We also do window washing and professional window cleaning on the exterior glass only. Interior glass is not part of this visit, so windows inside the house are never billed. Owners who care about curb appeal usually start with the front elevation, and we do that first.
| 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 White Center customers book both services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. At each visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutters, and the leaf load comes down in the fall. Storms and wind seasons move the dates, so we confirm the window with you when we schedule service a few days before the crew arrives.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we leave. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and more runoff in the troughs, and those houses tend to need scheduling more often than the others. Residential properties and multi-unit buildings follow the same pattern: the more trees and traffic around the building, the sooner the next visit is due, and a residential window on the road side gets the worst of it.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain. If you see either, call us and we will look at it on the next scheduled visit or set one up.
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 clean the gutters and exterior windows of residential and commercial buildings across White Center, and we book the visit around your schedule. The estimate comes by phone or text from the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the slot we can offer before you hang up. In the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and grit arrive, the calendar fills first, so ask early.
The crew works outside, does not come inside, and calls before it arrives. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, though you should be able to reach your phone. Our washing services cover the full exterior, and our window cleaning services include every window on the outside of the house, from ground floor to upper stories. Grime and mineral spotting build up slowly, so regular cleanings keep each visit to a single run.
We remove dirt from the glass and frames with purified water, and the crew decides on site whether the frames need cleaning solutions. We also clear the gutters and downspouts of runoff debris. Multi-unit residential buildings and condos are scheduled as a block, so the crew can finish the whole site in one run. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm a date.
Yes, the same two people do both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty run water does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, which you give us by phone or text. We quote it before the visit, and that is the number on the invoice.
On our White Center jobs the outside carries most of the rain dust, tree grit and sprinkler spotting, so the glass often looks dull from outside even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is what changes how the house looks from the street.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, and the fall visit usually lands in late November to December. Storms can shift the dates, so we confirm the window a few days ahead.
Not if the order is right. We clear the roof, the gutters and the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and then clean the glass, so the grime from the troughs never reaches the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. We do not bill them as add-ons.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, so the quote you get covers only the outside.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
