Yes, the same two people handle window and gutter cleaning on every residential window job in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Call (866) 435-6328 and we price the job 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 homeowners book us in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves have built up and the glass needs it most.
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 price on a window and gutter job depends on stories and window count, and we quote it by phone or text from those two facts. Put both jobs in one visit and the bundle costs less than booking them separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes and picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are never billed as extras. Pollen film, cleaning solutions and purified water are included in the quote too.
To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the number of stories. We will count the windows from the photo and confirm the gutter run before we give you a figure. Gutters that have sat for a long time can add time, so mention any sagging or water running behind the fascia. We will ask for the same details whether you book the gutters, the glass, or both in one visit.
If you have a home with residential and commercial needs, the same method applies. We clean the gutters and the outside of the glass on both, and the number we give you covers exactly what we will do. A quote for interior and exterior glass is a separate estimate, and this one covers the outside only. For a residential property with regular cleanings booked on a schedule, the per-visit cost is quoted once so the next visit needs no new estimate.
| 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.
Across California, most homeowners book window cleaners and gutter service twice a year, in spring and again in fall. One crew in one visit makes the scheduling simple for both jobs, and fall visits in Exeter usually land in late November to December.
In spring the glass shows pollen film on south-facing panes, and the gutters hold a damp paste of grit and fine dust. In fall the debris load is heavier and the wet mat stays in the gutters until it is cleared. Exeter gets about 12.1 inches of rain a year, with January, February and March the wettest months, and clogged gutters in those months can push water behind the fascia, which is where water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we book by the condition of the house rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a home close to a busy road or construction all leave more grime between visits. Multi-story buildings and homes with a lot of glass are where professional window cleaning and regular cleaning services keep the glass from building up.
Windows need cleaning sooner when haze shows only when the sun is low, or when the windows inside look dim in the afternoon. Gutters need cleaning sooner when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal.
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 properties across Exeter, and window and gutter cleaning on the outside of the house is part of the same visit, with the gutters and downspouts plus every window done together. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text, and for any residential window job we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once the estimate is set we can schedule service into the next open slot.
The two busy stretches of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. Those are the windows when our calendar fills first, so the earlier you call, the sooner the crew can reach your house. Lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call, and we give you the date on the phone.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside the house. Clean windows and cleared gutters are finished in the same visit, and the sill, the frame and the screen are wiped as part of the job.
Yes, the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so runoff does not land on clean windows. Nobody has to book two separate companies.
We do not quote a fixed figure on the website. Our window washing services and gutter work are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text before any work starts. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with your number.
Usually the outside takes the most damage. Road film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting all build up on exterior glass. Cleaning the inside alone leaves that grime to scratch the glass every time the sun hits it.
Most of our Exeter customers book in the spring and fall, once the seasonal buildup has settled on the glass and in the gutters. Window cleaning services on a schedule keep the windows and gutters from getting out of hand between visits.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and grit wash down the wall, so we remove dirt from the gutters first and clean the windows only after they are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, so you will not see them on a separate line. Tracks take a bit more time and are quoted before the visit if they need it.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
You do not need to be home, and that holds for condos too. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
