Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty drips back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, which is when leaves and grit build up and the glass and gutters need attention. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote, and the number we give you on the phone is the number you pay.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we quote on the phone is the number we charge, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job rather than extras. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that takes more time to reach safely, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings in town take more crew time, so tell us the floor count up front. Homes and businesses in town often need regular cleanings, and the grime on exterior glass builds up faster than most owners expect, so a regular schedule keeps the work quick and the bill predictable. Our washing services are quoted from the stories and the window count, so the cost of window washing is known before the crew arrives. We do not clean inside the windows on this visit, so interior and exterior glass are quoted separately if you need both. For a precise number, send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a figure before anything is scheduled.

| 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 customers here book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our Avenal jobs, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutter elbows during the spring pollen season, and the leaf load in fall is heavy enough to back up the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, but the spring and fall pattern holds. Some houses need a third visit: heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house close to a busy road or active construction. Those houses see the most runoff across the wall below the gutters, and the water damage that follows is far more expensive than a visit. We see clogged gutters on those houses most often. The cleaning solutions we use loosen the film, so the crew can remove dirt without scrubbing the frame. The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge during rain.
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 gutters and exterior windows across Avenal, and we book through a short phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and the number of open slots that week, and we will tell you the next available date when you call. Our professional window cleaning crews work from a water-fed pole for the upper floors and a ladder for the lower glass, so every window on the house is reached without leaving it streaked or dirty. Our window cleaning services cover residential and commercial glass, and residential properties get the same estimate. We keep the schedule full in the two busy windows of the year, so booking early in spring and fall helps. We call before we arrive, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Keeping the glass and gutters clean protects curb appeal, and a regular schedule keeps the job manageable. Once a date is set, we will schedule service around your calendar and confirm it the day before. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text the stories and a photo, and our window cleaners will confirm the slot.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first, then do the outside of the windows, in one visit so you pay for one trip.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before anything is booked. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and window count, and we do not quote a figure without seeing those details.
Yes, because the outside takes the brunt of rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that is the dirt you have to remove before the glass looks right. Clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy, so the outside is the part that changes how the house looks from the street.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up. Booking early in those windows gets you a date before the calendar fills.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. If the glass was washed first, the leaves, grit and black water from the gutters would run down the wall and across the panes.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job on every residential window we reach. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing, but we will tell you if we see something that needs that kind of work.
You do not need to be home. Turn off sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
