Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last. 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, our crews do most of this work in spring and fall, and that is when most of our Fairfield customers book it.
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 our window washing services and gutter work cost less in one visit than booked separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to set up. A window count that includes oversized picture windows takes longer per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the runs underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, and we will tell you when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Fairfield jobs, the quote is set by the stories and the glass, not by anything we guess about the house. The fastest way to get the exact number is to tell us the stories, give us a rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. Most houses come in close to the number we quoted from the photo. Regular cleanings keep the glass from building up grime between visits, and that is the difference between a quick pass and a full job. If you have multiple windows on each floor or several picture windows, count them when you call, because that is the biggest single factor after stories. Our window cleaning services cover the outside glass only, and we do not price interior and exterior glass together on this visit. We do not do pressure washing on this visit either. We clean the outside glass, the frames and the sills, and we flush the downspouts. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date.

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 Fairfield customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California, spring visits run mid to late June, and our fall visits here run December to early January. Windows inside the house are not part of these visits, so each trip covers only the outside glass. We do the window and gutter work in the same trip so the wet runs are cleared before the glass is touched, and we rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
On our jobs in spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen collects as a paste in the gutter elbows. In fall, the leaf load is the thing we find first, a wet mat in the runs and dust on the glass that rain has not washed off. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so we schedule around the weather rather than the calendar. Multi-story buildings are where the schedule slips first, because the ladder work takes longer to set up than on a single-story house. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters with needles and grit between visits, and those houses often need a third visit. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime than a quiet street does.
You can see when windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You can see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout, and if that keeps up along the wall it can lead to water damage at the fascia. If you see either one, call or text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit your house needs. We do not do the cleaning yourself, and we do not give DIY instructions, because the ladder is where the job goes wrong.
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.
Our cleaning services for gutters and windows in Fairfield run on the same schedule we keep across the county. We are professional window cleaning crews that carry the gear for gutters, glass and the outside of the house, so one visit covers both. We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, and the crew works from the ground or the pole where it can reach safely.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories. We will give you a written estimate from that, and we schedule service once you approve it. Lead time for a slot depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, fill first. If you need a date in those windows, book early. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work; the crew does not come inside.
Our window cleaners and gutter crews work the same route, so the trip is efficient and the glass gets done after the runs are clear. The same gutters-first order applies to residential and commercial buildings, so the sequence stays the same whatever the property type. If you have a property with multiple sides or a house with curb appeal you want protected, tell us which sides matter most when you book, and we will plan the order of work around them.
Yes, our crew cleans the gutters and downspouts in one visit with the windows. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runs are clear before anyone touches the windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure over the phone or in writing.
On a residential window in Fairfield, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, which are the things the glass collects before anything reaches the inside. Rain alone does not remove dirt from the glass, so cleaning the outside is what makes the windows look clear from the street.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Late spring fills first because of the pollen, and late fall fills next because of the leaves.
No, we do the gutters first and the glass last. When we clear a run, the runoff carries the grit and the black water down the wall, so the glass has to wait until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screen rinsing, sill wiping and frame wiping are part of the exterior job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the outside as well.
We do not clean the windows inside and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. Our crew cleans the exterior glass only on residential properties.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Unlock the side gate. If you live in one of the condos here, check with the association first, because the outside glass and gutters are often shared property.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
