Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. On our Diamond Springs jobs most customers book both in the spring and again in the fall, so the calendar fills in those two windows. Call (866) 435-6328 or tell us your stories and a rough window count, and we give you the number before we come.
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, and window washing done with the gutters in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs apart. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us what you have before we come out. Gutters and downspouts get flushed, screens get rinsed, and sills get wiped as part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions for frames and sills go with the crew, and purified water handles the glass.
On our jobs the things that change a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning will remove. Each of those we see from the ladder and note before we start, so you hear it before work begins. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the exterior glass and the gutters only, so windows inside the house are not part of it. Multi-story buildings are where the story count matters most, and washing services beyond the glass and gutters are not part of this visit.
Diamond Springs homeowners get the exact number by sending a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. From there we tell you whether the window cleaning services and the gutter run fit in one visit. Regular cleanings keep the glass and the runs from building up, and a crew that comes back on schedule spends less time per visit on grime than one called in after a season has gone by. Residential properties get the same quote method, stories and window count, and a written estimate on request if you want the scope on paper before anyone is on a ladder.
| 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 Diamond Springs customers book a window and gutter visit twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall the leaf load comes down, and our fall visit lands in late November to December, ahead of the wettest months of the year, December through February, when clogged gutters can overflow onto the siding and cause water damage. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so storm and wind seasons move those dates a little from one year to the next, and we book around them.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between the two main visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also come back more often. A house next to a busy road or an active construction site collects dust on the glass faster than one on a quiet street, so we plan a third visit there too, and multi-story buildings with the same exposure get the same plan. Each visit is there to remove dirt before it bakes onto the glass in the sun. Our customers with trees and sprinkler spotting usually ask for three or four visits a year, while the houses with few trees are done well with one visit each fall.
You will see the sign windows need cleaning as a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Both signs mean the calendar is due, and the crew will say so on the visit for residential and commercial buildings alike.
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 window cleaning services and gutter jobs in Diamond Springs through the same phone line, (866) 435-6328, and the estimate comes from the number of stories plus a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and is given when you call. In the two busy windows of the year, late spring and fall, our calendar fills first, so the sooner you call the sooner your slot is set. We are one of the window cleaners in the area that does both jobs with one crew, so the estimate covers the whole house and not two separate quotes.
We work the whole city, and our crew has cleaned houses across the neighborhoods that make up Diamond Springs. Professional window cleaning on a two-story house takes one morning, and a residential window on an upper floor is done from the pole. When you book, you pick the day and we confirm the window with a call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we keep the schedule in a text so you can see when the crew is due. Ask for the next open date when you schedule service, and we tell you the exact day rather than a range.
Clean glass and a clean gutter line do more for curb appeal than most people expect, and they keep water off the siding. Every window gets the same attention, from the frame down to the sill, so no pane is skipped to meet the schedule.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, so you get one crew and one invoice. Gutters go first and the glass last, so the runoff does not land on clean panes.
We quote it by phone or text from the number of stories and the size of the house, and the number we give is the number on the invoice. We do not quote a figure without those details, so send them and we will come back with the exact number.
On our Diamond Springs jobs, condos and houses alike, the outside carries most of what dirties the glass, including pollen in the spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Interior glass is a separate job we do not do on this visit, but the exterior cleaning is what stops the haze you see when the sun is low.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, once the pollen drop finishes, and again in the fall after the leaves are down. Booking early in those windows gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No, as long as the order is right. We do the gutters first and flush every downspout, then let the wall drip dry before anyone touches the glass. Doing it the other way round means the grit washes across the panes and they have to be cleaned again.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job on every residential window we do. None of those is billed as an extra line on the invoice.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit and do not do interior glass or pressure washing. If you want the inside done, ask us for a separate estimate and we will tell you what that involves.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
