Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing dirty washes back onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Our Auburn customers most often book this in spring and fall, when the leaves and dust 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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Asking about interior and exterior glass? We quote the exterior only, so the number on the phone is for the outside. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Ask for a written estimate and we will send one with the breakdown.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a multi-story building or a steep roof, a large count of windows or oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Gutters on a typical Auburn house carry a window and gutter pass that needs both trades on one ladder setup, so the bundle is where the saving comes from. Leaf debris and grit add time to a visit, and that is why a house with heavy pollen gets the same careful pass as one with light debris. Our cleaning solutions are chosen to lift grime from exterior glass and the gutter run, and the purified water we use dries clean. Residential and commercial jobs, and condos, are priced the same way, by building and by stories, so the process is easy to follow. Before we give a number, tell us about the glass: how many picture windows you have, whether any sit behind a sprinkler line, and whether the gutters have been cleaned in the last year. We also ask about regular cleanings, because a house on a schedule is quicker to price than one that has gone a long time without service. Once we have that, the quote is a single number and it holds. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the number before the truck is booked.

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 Auburn customers book both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit is what makes that practical. On our jobs the spring visit lands after the spring bloom has peaked, and the fall visit lands in December to early January, once the leaves are down.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed in the gutters and downspout elbows. At the fall visit we find the leaf load, and on houses with a lot of cover the gutters carry grit and needles that pack the downspouts between visits, and the runoff from them has nowhere to go but down the wall, which is how water damage starts. Auburn gets about 36.1 inches of rain a year, and December, January and February are the wettest months. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is when clogged gutters get tested. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and we adjust the booking to match.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that on houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, where the professional window cleaning crew finds debris building up between cycles, and on houses where a sprinkler line hits the glass, which leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site also gets more dust and grime on the glass, so it tends to need an extra pass to remove dirt before it dries onto the glass. Our crew checks each of these on the first visit and tells you what it found.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, the kind that makes the glass look cloudy from inside. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Both are easy to spot from the ground, and either one is a good reason to book, especially if curb appeal matters to you before a sale or a party.
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 residential window and gutter cleaning jobs across Auburn, and we also handle residential properties that need every window done in a single visit. To schedule service, call or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a firm date. Lead times are set by the calendar, so we confirm the date when you call.
The two busy stretches of the year are the spring peak in dust and bloom and the fall leaf drop. The calendar fills up in those weeks, so calling early gets you the date you want. Outside those windows, slots open up more easily, and a standard visit is booked in the order the calls come in.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, so the windows inside the house can stay as they are, and you can leave while we work. We call before we come, and we text photos of each run when the job is done, so you can check every window and every downspout yourself. If a pane or a gutter run cannot be reached safely, we tell you on the spot and do not leave it unexplained. Our goal is to clean windows and gutters thoroughly on the first visit and leave the sill and frame as clean as the glass.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, so you get one ladder setup and one invoice. Gutters go first, then the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and multi-story buildings and condos are quoted the same way. We give it by phone or text before anyone is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to get your number.
Yes, because the outside takes the most from rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots. Those are the marks you see from inside on the glass, and they do not come off with indoor cleaning.
Most of our Auburn customers book in spring and fall, when the leaves and dust are at their heaviest. Calling early in those months gets you the date you want.
No. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, because runoff from a gutter run will spot clean windows below it. If the glass goes first, someone has to wash it again, so we do not do it that way.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned to remove dirt as part of the visit, and none of it is billed as an extra.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Our washing services cover the outside of the glass and the gutter run, and we do not clean the inside of the windows or use pressure washing.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
