The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of the homeowners who book this do it in spring and fall, because that is when the leaves and grime build up enough to matter.
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. Booking window and gutter cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are steep roofs and a third story, a large number of windows or oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Cleaning out the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Quotes on houses with picture windows take a little longer on the glass, and that shows up in the number, not as a surprise on the day. Our window cleaning services run on purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left behind on the glass. The number covers the outside only, so if you also want the interior and exterior of the glass done, say so and we will quote it as its own job. Across California we have found that the fastest way to get the exact figure is to text us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Regular cleanings on a schedule keep the price steadier than waiting until the runs are full, so tell us if you want that. Ask for a written estimate before the crew is booked, and call (866) 435-6328 if you want to talk through what the house needs.

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 Delano customers book both twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season and once in the fall after the leaves drop. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them.
In spring the pollen lands as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and backs up the downspouts. Left too long, that wet mat can back up the runs and cause water damage where runoff spills over the edge onto the wall. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so our cleaning services start with a look at the house before we set the calendar.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters full between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than the rest. Our crews on these properties come back three or four times a year.
You will notice the glass needs cleaning when a film of grime shows up only when the sun is low, and that haze wears down the curb appeal of the house. You will notice the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into 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 residential window and gutter jobs across Delano, and we have worked on residential properties on most of the streets in town. The professional window cleaning on your house follows the same steps on every street. If you are asking about residential and commercial buildings, call before you book so we can confirm what we take on. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number before anything is scheduled. Lead time is set by the calendar at the time you call, and we will tell you the date when we confirm.
The calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and dust are heaviest, so booking early in those months gives you the choice of date. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach, and the schedule accounts for that. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, so you do not need to clear the inside of the house.
Every window on the outside gets the same treatment, including the sills and frames, so the rinse can remove dirt before it dries, and we schedule service so that the gutters are done first and the glass after. If you want a single appointment for the whole house, ask us to clean windows and gutters together.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, so you do not pay for a second setup. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
We do not give a range here because the number comes from the stories and the window count on your house. For condos, we also need to know which gutter runs belong to your unit. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front, and we will quote it before the crew is booked.
On Delano houses the outside collects grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots first, so the outside is where the haze builds. The inside can stay as it is and the outside still needs cleaning to clear the view.
Most of our Delano customers book in the spring and again in the fall after the leaves drop. Across California that is the usual pattern, and we will set the date with you when you call.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first and let the wall stop dripping before anyone touches the glass. Doing it the other way round means the runoff from the roof lands on glass you just paid to have washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are included in the job. All of these washing services are part of the quote and are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside, and we do not do pressure washing, but we can schedule that separately if you need it.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. The crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
