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 the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs apart. Most of our customers book the spring and fall visits, and that is when we do the most window washing and gutter work here.
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 residential properties by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote on the day: a steep roof or a third story, the window count and oversized panes (a single large residential window takes longer than a standard one), gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles or leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, not billed as extras. Grime that has baked onto the outside of the glass is covered in this quote, while a request for interior and exterior work on the same visit is quoted as a separate job.
On our Benicia jobs the clearest way to get an exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. A single customer's quote is a good example of what moves it: a two-story house with picture windows across the front and a gutter run nobody had cleared in two seasons was quoted higher than the house next door, because the front glass and the packed runs took the time. Here is the same kind of job we did in Benicia, with the details we found on the ladder: view the job. For your own figure, call (866) 435-6328 today.
Window washing and washing services on the outside of the glass are what we do on this visit, along with the window cleaning services and the gutter work. We get the cleanings done in one pass so you do not pay twice for the ladder setup, and the regular cleanings most homes here need follow the same order each time.
| 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 Benicia customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the south-facing glass carries a pollen film, and clogged gutters hold pollen paste; in fall the leaf load and the wet mat come down the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates by a week or two, so we call before we come. Our cleaning solutions on this visit are purified water only, so the glass dries without residue. Windows inside are not part of this visit, which is why the outside glass is the part we clean on schedule.
Houses and condos with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a home close to a busy road tend to need a third visit. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder work, so a three-story house gets a longer slot than a single-story one. The spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning, and the grit from the road builds on the sill, where a rinse alone will not remove dirt. The method is the same for residential and commercial glass, and the quote on this page covers houses. Across California most gutter systems that run under trees are on a shorter cycle, and that holds here too. The clearest signs the window and gutter cycle is due are haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low, and water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain, where the runoff runs down the siding and sills and is the usual route to water damage.
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 the outside of windows and gutters across Benicia and book them one visit at a time. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the date once the count is in. Lead time depends on the season; the busy windows are the spring pollen months and the fall leaf months, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those windows and you get the slot you want. Clean glass and clear runs do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Nobody has to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. We call before we come and send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before we leave. Professional window cleaning on our crew follows the same order every time, gutters first and glass last. Our cleaning services and the window cleaners on the crew are held to the same standard on every window, so the quality holds from the first pane to the last sill.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the glass in one visit, with gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the runs never lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Residential properties in Benicia are quoted the same way. Send the story count and a photo of the front and you will have the figure before the crew is booked.
On a residential window the outside carries the most here: pollen, dust from the road, and sprinkler spots that build on the glass. Clean inside glass will still look hazy if the outside is carrying that film.
Our Benicia customers most often book in spring and in fall, the two visits the cycle is built around.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, and give the wall a few minutes to drain before we touch the glass, so the grit never runs across a pane we have already done. A water-fed pole with purified water is how we remove dirt from the panes.
Screens are rinsed and the sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit, not billed separately.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do 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 leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of several condos under one roof, say so when you call so the gutter runs can be scoped before the crew arrives.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
