We are the crew that cleans your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Price is set by the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Burlingame jobs most customers book it for spring and fall, so you get the clear glass and the open gutters before the seasons change. Use the estimator above, or call (866) 435-6328 for a number you can count on.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs take more time on the ladder, and window count, oversized panes and picture windows change how long the glass takes.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote. Gutters not cleaned in years arrive packed with needles and leaves, and guards that have to be lifted add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is left on the glass by cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. A clean front does a lot for curb appeal, so the crew treats the whole outside of the house, not just the glass.
Window washing is the work we do on the outside of the glass, and the same two people handle the gutters. Professional window cleaning means the water-fed pole reaches the upper panes without a ladder against the siding. Clogged gutters are the usual reason water damage shows up on the fascia after rain. To get your exact number, text a photo of the front of the house with the stories counted, and tell us roughly how many windows face the street. Multi-story buildings take a bit more planning, and we will say so before the visit.
| 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 customers here book both as regular cleanings, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the pollen film lands on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters, so the first visit is about clearing that before it sets. The fall visit clears the leaf load and wet debris before the first heavy rains of the season.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps depositing debris between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or ongoing construction collects more grime on its residential window surfaces than a quiet street does. We schedule service around what we find on your first visit.
Windows need a cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain. Clean windows and clear gutters are the two signs we look for on every window and every run of gutter, and we will say which one your house needs before we leave.
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 Burlingame on residential properties, and we have cleaned both single-family homes and the condos that share a roofline. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you the first open day. The busiest windows are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, when our calendar fills fastest.
We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not go inside. The washing services we offer cover glass and frames on the outside only, and the window cleaning services end when the sill is wiped. Grime and runoff from the roof are cleared with the gutters and downspouts, so nothing spills back onto the glass. We remove dirt from the frames and screens as part of the same visit, and we check every window from the outside before we leave.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows. You get one visit and one invoice.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and tell us the stories, and we will quote the exact figure. Ask us on the phone whether a residential and commercial building fits the same quote.
On our Burlingame jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where the grime builds. The inside is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our customers book in spring and in fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up. Book early, because those are the busiest weeks on our calendar.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run before the glass means the leaves and the black water do not come down across the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, not billed as extras. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the glass. Tell us if there is a screen missing or torn.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so we do not clean interior and exterior glass together, and the windows inside the house stay as they are. We also do not do pressure washing. Ask us about other work when you book.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
