We are the crew that cleans your gutters and the outside of your windows in the same visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and the fall, and we set the schedule around those two windows.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows are on the outside. Bundling our window washing with gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than paying for two separate trips, and that difference shows up in the total. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Our crew sets the price before we arrive, from those two facts and a photo of the front of the house.
On the day, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a lift setup. A large count of windows, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem: it sits in the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our window cleaning services and are not billed as extras.
On our Corte Madera jobs, the quotes that come out highest are the ones where the crew finds more than a quick rinse will handle. A house with heavy grime on the upper glass and runoff stains under the gutters takes more passes than a house cleaned once a year. Our washing services are built for that: we remove dirt from the glass with purified water and pull the runoff marks off the wall before we rinse. The fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and the window count, or call (866) 435-6328. We will call back with the figure and the time window, and that figure is what you pay.

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.
Across California, most customers who book window and gutter cleaning do it twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall. On our Corte Madera jobs that is the pattern we see, and it is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both spring and fall. The cycle is much the same for residential and commercial glass, since the same pollen and leaves land on both.
In spring, the pollen comes in heavy. It lays a yellow film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste that clogs the downspout elbows. We use mild cleaning solutions on that film and rinse it off, so no residue is left on the glass. In the fall, the leaf load arrives, and wind or storm weather can move the dates, so we watch the forecast and the leaf drop before we set the calendar. Those two visits clear the film and the debris that built up in the months between.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed, so customers under big trees book three or four times a year, and regular cleanings on a set schedule keep the gutters from packing up between seasons. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need a closer look between visits. Houses with large picture windows show every film and streak, so those owners often ask for a visit between the two seasons. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than the glass can shed it. We ask about these on the first call.
Two things tell you when it is time. Haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low means the windows need cleaning. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in a rain means the gutters are full or the slope has failed. Either one is worth a call, and we will tell you which it is when we get there. Some customers ask whether the visit covers interior and exterior glass. It covers the exterior only, so plan the inside on a separate day.
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 crews have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across Corte Madera, and we schedule by the number of stories and the window count. Booking works by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, and that is the simplest way to schedule service with us. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a time window. You will hear the real wait for a slot when you call, not a guess.
When our calendar fills, it fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen and the fall leaf drop. If you want a slot in those weeks, call early. Our window cleaners and gutter crew work the same route in one visit, so you only wait once. Our cleaning services run the same way on a bungalow as on a three-story home. For larger projects we have the professional window cleaning equipment and the staffing to keep the work moving, and we can handle multi-story buildings with a boom or scissor lift when the house needs one. The visit covers the outside of the glass and never the windows inside. Clean glass and gutters also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect, especially on the street side of the house.
We call before we come, and we never start work without telling you when we will arrive. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We check for clogged gutters and water damage as we go, and if we see either one we note it in the photos we send you.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and then the glass, so the water and debris from the roof never reach a window we have already washed.
We quote the number by phone or text from the stories and the approximate window count. The figure you hear is the figure you pay, and we do not add extras for downspouts, screens or sills.
Usually yes for a residential window in Corte Madera, because the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that never show up inside. Cleaning the outside alone takes care of the haze you see when the sun is low.
Across California most customers book in the spring and the fall, and here we see the same pattern. Booking early in those months is the easiest way to schedule service before the calendar fills.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout and let the wall drip before we touch any glass, so nothing from the roof lands on the clean windows we have already finished.
Screens are rinsed and the sill under every window is wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same pass, and none of it is billed as an extra.
This visit covers exterior glass only, on residential properties in Corte Madera. We do not clean inside the windows or pressure wash on this visit.
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 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.
