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 together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across California, most of the houses we work on book it in the spring and fall, when the glass and the gutters both need it most.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows as two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is built from those inputs before anyone climbs a ladder. The number covers exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work is never folded into one price.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how many setups the job needs. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer per pane than the standard ones, and the window count is the other half of the estimate. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time than a run that was done last year. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are priced on the number of feet covered. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate condition: the cleaning will remove dirt and film, but the mineral etch stays, and we tell you that before the visit.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our crews leave the gutters and downspouts running clear and the sills wiped before they pack the truck. A clear run of gutters does as much for curb appeal from the street as the glass does.
On our Claremont jobs, a house with a steep roof and tree cover over the back run usually has more debris in the gutters than the front, and the windows on that side collect pollen and runoff the same way. Get the exact number by sending a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the figure for that house. Gutters and glass in one visit, with the cleaning solutions we use on the glass, mean one crew and one set of ladders for both, which is where the bundle saving comes from. Our regular cleanings follow the same order each time. Many homeowners with picture windows and residential and commercial properties in the same neighborhood ask for the same bundle, and the number stays the same from one visit to the next.
| 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 Claremont customers book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, and that is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. The job of cleaning the windows inside the house runs on its own schedule, and it is not part of either visit.
What we find on the glass in June is pollen film on the south-facing panes and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In late November to December it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs, and across California atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, which is when the runs fill fastest. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit, because the film and the grime come back before the next scheduled date.
Here is how it played out on two jobs. One customer with no trees on the lot books twice a year and the gutters have not needed anything in between. Another, under trees with sprinkler spotting on the front windows, is on three or four visits a year, because the spots that come back a day after cleaning tell us the water is hitting the glass again. Cleaning services and window cleaners who do only the glass will not see the gutter side of that, and professional window cleaning on a house like that means both.
You can tell the windows need it when there is a haze you only notice with the sun low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. On multi-story buildings and older houses the second sign is the one that matters, because clogged gutters are where water damage starts at the fascia.
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 Claremont, and our window cleaning services cover residential window work and residential properties on the city's streets, as well as the homes near the edges of town. Condos in Claremont are quoted the same way, from the number of stories and the window count. We clean the outside of every window on the house in the same visit, from the ground floor up, so the clean windows on the back of the house match the front and no pane is missed on a side nobody walks past.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number before we schedule anything. Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the late November to December leaf drop, our calendar fills, so the earlier you call the better your date. We call before we come, so nobody is standing in the driveway wondering whether the truck is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, but you should be able to answer your phone that morning.
When we schedule service we set a time window, confirm the day before, and send the photos of each run and each pane as the job finishes. Our window and gutter cleaning follows the same order on every visit, so the number on the phone and the invoice match, and the photos show you the result on every sill and every downspout.
Not every window company does, but ours does, and the gutters are part of the visit. The same two people do the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first, which is how our washing services are set up.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Send us a photo of the front and the number of stories by calling (866) 435-6328 or by text, and we give you a figure for that house.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots here, and none of that is touched by cleaning the inside. Glass on the inside of the house is not part of this visit, since it is a different job.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, from our calendar of the last few seasons. Across California the spring and fall visits are the usual pattern.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. The leaves and the black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed and put back in, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the visit, none of it billed separately.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of 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 if the windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
