Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book it for spring and fall, when leaves and rain have built up on the house and curb appeal starts to slip. Tell us your stories and window count and we will give you the number on the phone.
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 number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We build it from the stories, the approximate window count and the state of the gutters, and the bundled visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Every residential window job is quoted with the gutter work in the same estimate, so the saving is shown in the total.
What changes the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that takes more time to reach, oversized panes and high windows that need the boom or scissor lift, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles, leaves and grime, 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 window washing services use purified water, done from the ground or the pole wherever it reaches, and the gutters and downspouts are checked for runoff problems before the crew leaves.
To get your number, text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and window count. A dirty gutter that has been left to run over the edge for years often hides water damage behind the fascia, and the crew will photograph it and tell you before it adds anything to the quote. Remove dirt from the glass, the tracks and the sills in one pass, and you will see the difference the same day. Condos and townhomes with shared walls are quoted by the building section, so ask for that when you call. We quote the interior and exterior of a house as separate jobs, so this estimate covers the exterior only.

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 Folsom customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. On our Folsom jobs in the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters. In the fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs through the rain. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, and we will call you to confirm the day.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, so we flag them on the first visit. Frames and sills get mild cleaning solutions, rinsed off before the crew moves on. Picture windows and large panes show the haze most clearly when the sun is low, and that is usually the sign the glass needs a cleaning. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in the rain is the sign the gutters need the crew, not a wait until spring. Our regular cleanings keep both on a schedule, and the first visit tells you which pattern your house follows.
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 crew has cleaned gutters and windows across Folsom, and the neighborhoods we work most often are the ones our customers name when they call. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book. In the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and rain build up, our calendar fills faster, so it is worth booking as soon as the estimate is in. We clean residential properties across Folsom, and mixed residential and commercial buildings get a site visit before we quote them.
Professional window cleaning on multi-story buildings is done from the pole or the boom lift, and it is the same crew for the gutters. Clogged gutters that go unchecked through a wet season can lead to water damage behind the fascia, so we look at the runs even when you only booked the glass. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our window cleaning services are outside only, and they reach every window on the exterior of the house.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the windows after, in one visit, so the glass is not dirtied again by the gutter water.
We do not quote a figure on this page. The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and you can get it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
The outside carries the rain dust, road grime and sprinkler spots, which are the things that dull clean windows from the street side. Those build up outside even when the inside looks fine.
On our Folsom jobs, customers usually book in the spring and again in the fall. To schedule service, ask us and we will confirm the next open date for your house.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. Leaves and grit from the runs would otherwise run down the wall and across the panes below.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, so they are not billed as extras.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside 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.
