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 booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Clayton jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, so the calendar fills fast in those windows. Tell us your stories and a rough window count at (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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 window washing booked with gutter work in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. For multi-story buildings, ask on the call, since the stories count is where any quote starts. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not part of the quote.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of those changes the time on the ladder, and professional window cleaning is quoted from that count, not from a guess.
Our experience here is that the quote is only as accurate as the count it starts from. Text us the front of the house and a rough count of stories and windows, and the number you hear back holds through the visit. Our Clayton jobs show the same pattern: the houses where the count was off by a story or a dozen windows are the ones that needed a revised quote. Window cleaners who count before they quote avoid most of the surprises on the ladder, and that is the point of asking before we come out. Clogged gutters that have sat through several seasons take longer than a light cleaning, and water damage on the trim from an overflowing run is something we photograph and report rather than bill as extra work. Curb appeal of the whole house is what the bundle protects, which is why we clean the glass after the gutters rather than before.

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 Clayton customers schedule service twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and regular cleanings on that rhythm let one crew do both jobs in one visit. Across California, our cleaning services usually land on a spring visit in mid to late June and a fall visit in late November to December. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass, so every window on that side picks it up, and the pollen paste packs the gutters. Fall is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through winter.
Some residential window and gutter jobs need a third visit, which means three of these cleanings in a year. 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 near a busy road or a construction site all move the schedule on residential properties. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we confirm each visit when we call ahead.
Here is how we tell a house needs more. Clean windows still show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sill under a window that stays dusty is another sign. Gutters show water sheeting over the edge during rain. When either shows up between visits, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will book the next date with you.
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 washing services work across Clayton, and we will tell you which neighborhoods we have cleaned on the estimate call. Booking our window cleaning services starts with a phone call or text at (866) 435-6328: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Condos get the same count-first quote, so tell us the building type on the call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills in those weeks. Booking ahead through that time keeps the slot you want, and the crew can remove dirt from the glass and the runs in one pass. Grime that builds up between those windows is handled on the next visit. Outside those windows the lead time is shorter, and we give you the date on the call.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean panes.
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 a rough window count, and the figure you hear is the one we charge.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. The inside can stay as it is; the outside is where the haze you see in low sun comes from.
Most of our Clayton customers book in the spring and in the fall, and regular cleanings on that rhythm keep one crew on a predictable schedule. Booking ahead of those windows keeps the slot, since the calendar fills in those weeks.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and black water from a run come down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior job, and we use purified water rather than cleaning solutions. Picture windows get the same treatment, and tracks are included in the visit as well.
Not on this visit. We clean exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior of a window are never booked as one job here, and we do not do pressure washing. Ask on the call if a residential and commercial job needs something different.
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 the 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.
