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 jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and in fall.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning 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 you on the phone is the number we charge. Our washing services for both jobs are quoted once, before a date is booked.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping come with the visit, and none of them shows up as a separate charge.
To get a firm number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk through it with you. Our crew counts the windows from the photo and gives you a figure before anyone books a date. A two-story house with a standard window count and clear gutters is quoted differently from a three-story house with picture windows and a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and that difference shows up in the number on the phone. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately. Our window cleaning services on this visit cover the exterior only.
Last month one Cupertino homeowner had a two-story house with a row of picture windows facing the street and gutters that had gone several seasons without a cleaning. The crew found packed leaves in the back run and a sprinkler line hitting the lower glass. We quoted it from the stories and the window count, and the invoice matched the number we gave on the phone. Once the gutters are cleared, the glass gets cleaned, and no second visit was needed.
Regular cleanings keep the job predictable. A house cleaned every spring and fall costs less per visit than one left for years, because the grime and debris do not build up into a heavier job.
| 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.
On our Cupertino jobs most customers book both twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for most homes. Our cleaning solutions are the same on every house, so a spring visit and a fall visit are done the same way.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is what we see, a wet mat in the runs and the downspout elbows. Clogged gutters are the first thing we clear in either season. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so a run that backs up in one storm can turn into water damage before the next visit. We book by what we see on the house rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loading between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass than the average house. The same goes for multi-story buildings, which take longer again because every upper run needs its own setup.
You can tell the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Windows inside get their own visit, so a film on the inside of the glass is not something this trip removes. You can tell the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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.
We book one slot at a time, and the easiest way to schedule service is a text or call with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 and we take it from there. Our crew gives you an estimate from that, and most jobs are scheduled within the lead time shown when you call. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, so booking early keeps your preferred date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew arrives with the equipment for both jobs on one truck. Because we bring one crew, the gutters and the glass get done in a single visit, which is the reason most people in Cupertino pick the bundle. Our cleaning services for both jobs are booked on one date. The crew uses professional window cleaning equipment and purified water on every window, so the glass dries clean without streaks, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal.
Cupertino has a mix of single-family homes and condos, and we work with window cleaners on both. Window cleaning is a residential and commercial trade across California, but this page covers homes only. The steps stay the same on every house, and we walk you through them before the crew starts.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before anything is booked. Condos are quoted the same way, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are the things that dull a residential window from the outside in. Interior glass is a separate job.
Our Cupertino customers usually book in spring and in fall, the two visits that catch the pollen and the leaf load. Booking in those windows lets us remove dirt before it bakes onto the glass. We book by what we see on the house, so the date can shift a little with the weather.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. Gutter grit and runoff would otherwise run down the wall and across the windows below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the exterior visit, and we do not bill them as extras.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. This page covers residential properties, and the exterior glass and the gutters are the scope of the job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
