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 doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Calera jobs, most customers book the two in spring and fall, so the crew knows the house before the season hits. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it is what the crew finds on the day: multi-story buildings with a third floor or a steep roof, residential window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened 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. Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed on the same visit, and our cleaning solutions, screen rinsing, sill wiping and washing services for the exterior glass are part of the job, not billed as extras. The quote covers exterior glass and gutters only, so interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs.
Here is how we get the exact number. Text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street. Our crew will quote from that before a truck is scheduled. Ask for a written estimate if you want the scope on paper before you book a date.
On one Calera job the quote came in higher than the customer expected because the house had picture windows across the back and a sprinkler line hitting the glass, so the crew had to plan for the spots that come back a day later. The gutters were run with a leaf mat and a bird nest in the back downspout. Once it was written down, the customer saw each line and booked the bundle for the same morning.
Our crew cleans the glass and the gutters on the same visit, and we keep a photo of every run. If the sprinkler spotting is the only problem, we tell you on the phone and quote the mineral treatment separately, so the number stays honest.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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 Calera customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down, and the runoff from a wet mat streaks the glass below it until the first hard rain. Storms and wind seasons move the dates, so we call before we schedule.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into clogged gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than a quiet street. A rinse alone will not remove dirt baked onto south-facing glass, so those panes get a full wash. Those are the houses we see on the professional window cleaning route more often than the rest.
Clean glass also keeps the curb appeal of the house up through the spring haze. You will know the windows need it when you see a haze only in low sun, because clean windows look different at that angle. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. Calera gets about 57.9 inches of rain a year, with February, March and December the wettest months, so gutters that clog before those months are the ones that end in water damage. Both are the signal to book the next visit.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across the city, and we schedule every job around the stories and the window count you give us. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front to schedule service. The lead time is on the booking page for this city. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, the calendar fills first, so book early in those months. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles the window and gutter cleaning on residential properties, and the same two people do the work on every window and every run. We do not promise a same-day slot unless the schedule shows one, and we do not rush a sill or a gutter to fit a truck into a gap.
Yes, when we do both, it is the same two people in the same visit. Gutters go first, then the glass.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. Quotes for residential and commercial work are scoped differently, so ask us about a commercial building by phone before you book.
On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the outside is where the grime collects first.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Book early in those months because the calendar fills first.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared first, the runoff stops before we reach the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the visit, so none of them is billed as an extra.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so our washing services do not reach the windows inside, and pressure washing is not part of the job.
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. If the house is one of the condos in a shared complex, check the complex rules first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
