Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Arvin jobs, most customers book this in spring and fall, once the pollen and leaf drop have settled.
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.
Some outfits price residential and commercial jobs on one flat rate, but the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows face the outside. Booking both jobs in one visit is the cheaper route, because the setup, the ladders and the trip are shared. Give us the stories and a window count by phone or text, and we will tell you what it comes to before anyone climbs.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that change the quote. Multi-story buildings, including a house with a third story or a steep roof, take more time and more setup. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer to reach and to dry cleanly. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more hauling. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, and we say so before we start.
The cleaning solutions for the glass, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and clearing the gutters and downspouts is not billed as an extra. Our quote covers the exterior only, so if you were picturing the interior and exterior of a window on one invoice, ask us on the phone before we book. Dust and tree debris on the glass and paste in the gutters are the most common things we see each spring, and both are included in the same visit.
On our Arvin jobs, the quote is easiest to get right when we have a photo of the front of the house and an honest count of the stories and windows. For one recent house in the area, the gutters were clogged with leaves from a mature tree on the south side, and the upper-story glass had a dust film that came off only after the gutters were run. That combined job was quoted from the photo and the story count, and the final invoice matched the phone number. Ask for a written estimate if you want the figure in writing before you book.
We use regular cleanings to keep the next visit faster and the bill steadier. Clean windows and clear gutters both make the next visit quicker, so the schedule is worth a conversation when we come out.
| 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.
On our Arvin jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in late fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season. Some window cleaners only come out once a year, but spring grit and fall leaves are why we book both seasons. Spring grit builds up as a film on south-facing glass and as paste in the gutters through the season. In fall the leaf load comes down the roof faster than anyone can keep up with by hand, and wind season moves the timing a little each year.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding the gutters between cleanings, and clogged gutters left for a season can lead to water damage on the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, and that calls for a return visit. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grime on the glass and more runoff in the gutters than a quiet street does.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon, and it is usually on the outside, so the windows inside can look fine while the glass is not. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either one, that is the time to book, since clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. Our cleaning services follow that same schedule, and we will tell you on the first visit which pattern your house is on.
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.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a firm number and a date. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew sends photos of each gutter run and each window before they leave.
Our window cleaning services cover residential properties and the house-front windows that make up most of the glass we handle here. The job covers every window on the exterior of the house, including the top-floor glass reached from the ladder, and each residential window gets its sill and frame wiped so the clean windows look clean all the way round. Window and gutter cleaning is one visit, and professional window cleaning on a house this size means the same crew sets up once and works the whole house.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the earlier you call, the better your chance of getting the date you want. Outside those windows we can usually schedule service with a short wait.
Yes, the same crew cleans both. We do the gutters first and the glass last on every visit, so the windows are not dirtied again by runoff from the roof.
Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but the cost here comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us with those and we will give you the number before we book.
If the windows inside your house are clean, the outside still collects dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots, which is why outside glass gets dirty even when the inside looks fine.
Our customers here usually book in late spring and in late fall, and we keep the date you choose once it is on the calendar. If you live in one of the condos, check who handles the exterior glass before you book, since the association often does.
Gutters go first and glass goes last, so runoff from the roof never lands on clean panes, which means nobody has to remove dirt from the glass twice. Many of the homes we see were done the other way round by someone else and had streaks within a week.
Yes, screens, sills and tracks are part of our washing services, so nothing on the exterior of the window is billed as an extra. The interior and exterior glass are not the same job, and this visit covers the outside only.
We clean the outside of the windows only. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing on this visit, so those are not part of the job.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
