Yes, the same two people clean the 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 in one trip cost less than booking them separately. On our Yakima jobs most customers book this in the spring and in the fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up enough to need it.
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.

On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, oversized picture windows that take more time per pane, gutters and downspouts not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will take off. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Getting an exact number is simple, and it covers exterior glass only, not interior and exterior work. Tell us the stories and a rough window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a figure before the crew is booked. Our window washing and gutter work is done on the same ladder setup, so the regular cleanings you schedule with us keep the washing services on one bill.
| 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.
Across Washington, most homeowners book both jobs twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Pollen is the main reason the spring visit matters: it forms a film on south-facing glass on residential and commercial buildings alike, and a paste in the gutters. In the fall the leaf load and wet weather do most of the damage.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or multi-story buildings near a busy road all put more grime on the windows and debris in the runs. Water damage tends to start where clogged gutters let water sit against the fascia.
The sign the windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in the rain. Clean glass and clear runs also do a lot for curb appeal. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which schedule fits your house.
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 exterior windows on residential properties in Yakima and the surrounding area, and we have seen nearly every kind of house on our route. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the window count and give you a price before we book. Most cleaning services in our trade work on a calendar that fills in the busy weeks, so lead time can stretch in spring and fall. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We keep a professional window cleaning standard on every job: a water-fed pole for upper stories, purified water so the glass dries clean, and every window checked before the crew moves on. Purified water does the rinsing, so cleaning solutions rarely go on the glass. Our window cleaners finish with the frames, screens and the sill along each window, not just the glass. Ask for a written estimate and we will put the scope down so you can compare it to other window cleaning services. Text a photo of the roofline to start.
Yes, on our route the same two people do both jobs in one visit. We start on the gutters and finish on the glass so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
We give that number by phone or text, based on stories and size. There is no figure on this page because it depends on the house, and the quote is the price on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean glass inside still looks hazy if the outside is dirty, so we use a water-fed pole to remove dirt from the upper panes.
Across Washington most of our customers book in spring and fall. The spring visit clears pollen and the fall visit clears leaves before wet weather sets in.
Not if we do it right: the gutters and downspouts get cleared first, glass last, so the wall dries after the runs are cleared and any runoff is gone before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the standard visit as well, and nothing is billed as an extra on the invoice.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside stay on your own schedule, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home, and that holds for condos as well as houses. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
