Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls out of the gutters lands on clean glass. We price every residential window job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs apart. Across California, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 for your number.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our estimate covers the whole visit, and we will tell you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Condos are quoted the same way: the stories, the window count on the street side, and the gutter runs.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, a window count with oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. On gutters and downspouts, the clearing is inside the quote, and the crew will remove dirt from the runs before anything gets flushed.
Our Corcoran crew sees the window washing side of the job the same way: the glass itself is rarely the hard part, the grime sitting under the eaves is. When the gutters have been left, the runoff washes dirt straight down the wall and into the sills, so a clean glass job without the gutters done first has to be done twice. That is why we quote both at once and why the bundle makes sense on most houses here. The washing services on the glass are quoted in that same visit, so you see one number. If you tell us the stories and give us a photo of the front of the house by text, we can get you the exact number before we book a date.
| 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 Corcoran customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California the calendar follows the same pattern, with spring and fall as the two windows where the glass and the gutters need the most attention. We run the same schedule for residential and commercial glass, so the spring and fall windows apply to both.
In spring we see a film of pollen on south-facing glass and a green paste packed into the gutters. The first thing that shows up on a window in the warm months is a yellow haze on picture windows, and it wipes off easily only if it is cleaned before it bakes on. The crew uses purified water on the glass and only the cleaning solutions the frame material calls for. The leaf load in the fall brings its own problem: wet leaves mat in the gutters and hold water against the fascia, and by the time the rains come they have started to sag the runs.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the calendar does. Regular cleanings keep the gutter line clear between the two big visits. We tell you which of those your lot has on the first visit, and we book the next one from what we find.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during a rain. Either one is a good reason to call before the next season arrives. Some customers ask about the interior and exterior glass together, and the answer is the same: this visit covers the exterior only.
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.
Booking with us starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so the sooner you call, the earlier the date. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We run our crews as professional window cleaning and gutter operations, and the window cleaners on the ladder are the same people who clear the runs above them. Our window cleaning services cover residential properties on the same route as the gutter runs. That matters for curb appeal, because a house with clean windows and clogged gutters still shows the water stains down the siding. We also see the water damage that builds up when the gutters are left alone, from soft fascia to staining under the eaves. The windows inside stay as they are on this visit, since the crew works from the outside only.
On the glass side we handle multi-story buildings as well as single-story houses, using the pole and the lift the job calls for. We check each pane before the crew moves to the next side. Our window cleaning services for a two-story house take a morning, and the crew sends photos of each run and each pane before the truck leaves.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so nothing that falls out of the runs lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure in this FAQ, because the same two stories can land at different numbers depending on the window count and the gutters.
On our Corcoran jobs, the outside carries a dust film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from the outside long before the inside does. A clean inside over dirty outside glass still looks hazy in the low sun. Our crew checks every window from the outside before the job is done.
Most of our Corcoran customers book in the spring and fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves arrive. Across California the same two windows apply, and booking early in each one gets you a slot.
No, if the gutters are cleaned first and the glass last, the runoff has already drained before the glass is touched. That is the reason for the order we use, and it is the reason we do not split the two jobs.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned on the same visit when they are reachable from the outside.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass and gutters only, in one visit.
You do not need to be home, because the crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
