Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of the homes we clean book this pairing for their spring and fall visits, and the crew that quotes it is the crew that does the work.
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, both jobs run in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Starting prices depend on stories and window count, and the final figure depends on your house. We separate interior and exterior glass on every quote, so this visit covers the outside only and leaves the windows inside the house out. Most people who want one of the window cleaners in Davis also want the gutters done, and one visit covers both.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote: stories and steep roofs that need a boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to 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.
Our crew has seen window washing jobs on two-story homes where the glass was fine but the gutters were full of grit that had been washing down the siding for a season. Clogged gutters hold moisture against the fascia, and over time that turns into water damage that no window cleaning reaches. Doing the gutters first keeps the glass clean once the job is done. Homes with professional window cleaning and gutter work on the same visit tend to hold their curb appeal longer, because the runoff stops staining the frames.
For the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will take the count with you. Include any picture windows or multi-story buildings in the count, because those change the lift and the time. We will give you the figure before the truck is scheduled, and the invoice matches it.

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 Davis customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across California, the pattern holds for most residential properties, with the timing shifting for the local weather.
On our jobs, the glass shows a pollen film on the south-facing windows in spring, and the gutters hold pollen paste in the elbows. In fall the leaf load builds up and the wet mat sits in the runs through the winter rain. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and we would rather schedule service just before the heavy rain than after the first leaf fall.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster. For those, regular cleanings mean clean windows and clear gutters all year, and we will tell you which of those your lot needs after the first job.
You will know the windows need attention when haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 clean the outside of the glass and the gutters on residential properties around Davis, and we book a slot by phone or text once we have your story count and a photo of the house front. Lead time varies with the season, and in the busy spring and fall windows our calendar fills faster, so ask early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles the gutters and downspouts on each property, and the runoff from the roof is checked at the outlet so nothing ends up on the walk or the driveway. We remove dirt from the gutter runs and the window frames in the same visit, which is the reason the job is done in one trip rather than two. We also take on washing services for condos and small multi-unit buildings where the owners want one schedule for every window.
If you have a condos complex or an odd-shaped building, send photos of each side. Our window cleaning services cover the full exterior, and for a building with many units we quote the whole property at once. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline to start.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, starting with the roof and gutters so the glass gets done last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Text a photo of the front and we will send the figure.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the damage: pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. The inside can stay as it is, and the outside still needs its own pass.
Our customers here book in the spring and fall, which matches when the pollen and leaves hit the gutters and glass. Across California the pattern is the same for most homes.
No, that is why we clean gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and the black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are flushed.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on exterior windows. The glass is done with purified water and no cleaning solutions, which is why it dries without streaks.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Interior windows and pressure washing are not part of it, so ask us about those separately. If the building is residential and commercial, mention that when you book so we can check it before the 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
