Yes, 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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across California our crew books this bundle every spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
Our washing services are priced by the number of stories and the 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 on the invoice.
On our jobs the quote moves for a few reasons we see on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters 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 removes. Window washing on a house like this is quoted from the story count and the window count, never by the hour. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California the first thing we do is get the exact number, which means your stories, your window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Once we have those, the crew can tell you what the job costs before anyone is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will book a date once you have the number. A house with heavy window grime or a long gap since its last cleaning needs regular cleanings to hold, and that schedule is part of the quote. Our crew does not clean interior and exterior glass on the same visit, only the outside.
| 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 Atwater customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the window and gutter schedule is set by what we find at each visit.
In spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the downspout elbows are the first things the crew sees. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat in the gutters, and storm or wind seasons move those dates a little each year.
Multi-story buildings and houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the gutters between cleanings and clogged gutters overflow in the next rain. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and houses near busy roads or construction collect a film faster than most. Residential and commercial jobs run on the same logic here, though commercial buildings are scheduled per building.
Window haze you only notice when the sun is low means the glass is due. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain means the gutters and downspouts are due, and left too long it can lead to water damage at the fascia.
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 has cleaned residential properties across Atwater, and each residential window job is booked with the gutters on the same visit. We book the estimate by phone or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Most jobs get a slot within a few weeks, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work because we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and in those months our calendar fills. If you want a set date in those windows, book early. Outside them we can usually move quickly, and we keep the whole day on the schedule with the crew, so the work is done in one visit.
We are a crew that does the work ourselves, not a set of window cleaning services passing jobs around, and our professional window cleaning is done by the same two people from start to finish. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole and purified water, and only add cleaning solutions where a film will not lift with water alone. Also, every window on the outside gets the same treatment, which keeps the frames clean for good curb appeal. When you want to schedule service, the easiest route is a text with your stories and a photo.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, with the same two people, gutters first and glass last. We run condos the same way, and the order stays the same. Doing the gutters first keeps the dirty runoff off the windows we have not yet cleaned.
We do not quote a figure on the web. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328 before any work is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: grit film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear, and it helps remove dirt even if the inside is left as is.
Across California the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and the fall visit runs late November to December. Book the date when you call, and the crew holds it on the calendar.
No, because we clear the gutters before we touch the glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit, and nothing is billed as a separate extra.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on the same job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
