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 two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this work in spring and fall, when leaf load and grit are at their 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 window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle done in one visit costs less than booking window cleaning services and gutter work as two separate jobs. Our washing services are quoted on the same number, so tell us the stories and the window count when you call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the front of the house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and picture windows take more care per pane, and every window on the list is counted in the quote. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, and the crew has to remove dirt from the runs before anything underneath can be cleared. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated first. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A quote can come in higher than expected when the back run sits over a walkway and the gutters hold two seasons of grime. Once the crew has cleared them and flushed the downspouts, the runoff runs clear and the windows get done in the same visit. This is the kind of detail that changes a quote, so we look at it before we agree on a number. Gutters and downspouts get the same attention as the glass, and a clogged run on condos and other residential properties can cause water damage if it is left alone.
| 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 Bloomington customers book window and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Keeping up with regular cleanings on that schedule stops the gutters from building up between visits.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring, pollen film builds on south-facing glass and grit packs into the gutter elbows. In the fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until it is cleared. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, and the heavy rain that comes in a handful of days each year is what tells us a run needs attention before the next visit. The timing applies to residential and commercial buildings alike, so treat these dates as a guide, not a promise.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps debris coming, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Those spots need a mineral treatment, since cleaning solutions alone will not lift them. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects more grit between cleanings. On those houses we plan three or four visits instead of two, and we tell you which schedule your house needs after the first look.
Windows tell you when they need it: a faint haze shows up on the glass when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too, when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, the crew can be out within the usual lead time.
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 works across Bloomington, and booking runs through a short phone or text estimate. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the visit window. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send the same details by text. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we call before we come, so you are never surprised by the truck in the driveway.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when leaf load and grit are heaviest. Booking early in those windows keeps your slot. Outside those windows, the crew can usually fit you in within the normal lead time we confirm on the phone. Our process is the same for every visit: clogged gutters are cleared first, then the downspouts are flushed, and the glass is cleaned with purified water so it dries without streaks.
Many homeowners prefer one team that handles the full exterior, not two companies with two schedules, and professional window cleaning paired with gutter work fits that. We bring the same two people and the same method to each job, which keeps the work consistent and the scheduling simple. Taller jobs, including multi-story buildings, take more time on the ladder, and that is already part of how we price by stories. Whether your house has a few windows or many, the approach stays the same, and we aim to leave the outside of your home with strong curb appeal for the next season.
Yes. Our crew does both the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, so there is no second company and no second schedule. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass.
For a residential window job, the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, so we quote it by phone or text. Send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the price we will charge.
Usually the outside carries most of what settles on the glass here: spring dust, rain grime, and sprinkler spots that cling to the surface. Clean windows on the outside are what most people notice first from the street, and the inside can stay as it is without spoiling the look.
On our Bloomington jobs, most customers book in spring and in fall, which lines up with the pollen and leaf seasons. Across California the spring visit is mid to late June and the fall visit is late November to December.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last: when the runs are cleared and flushed, the grit and black water stop coming down the wall, so the clean glass stays clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Tracks are included on the same visit, so you will not see separate line items for them on the invoice.
Not on this visit. Some people ask about interior and exterior glass together, but this visit covers the exterior only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off 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.
