Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew is out across California through the spring and fall, when gutters and exterior glass need it most. Tell us how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows, 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 on the phone is the number on your invoice, and we set it from the stories and the approximate window count. Doing the window and gutter work in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because one setup covers both. Ask for the figure by phone or text and we will walk you through what goes into it.
Stories and roof pitch move the quote more than anything. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means boom or scissor lift time; multi-story buildings are where that comes up most, and it is the first thing the crew checks. Window count and oversized panes come next, since picture windows take longer than a standard double-hung. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles, seeds and leaves, take extra time to clear. Pollen packed into the runs in spring counts the same way. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different job; no cleaning removes it, and we tell you so before we quote it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. On the glass the crew uses purified water, not cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak. Regular cleanings keep the quote lower over time, because the buildup stays light. Our crew can see the glass and gutters from the ground and the ladder, so the first visit settles the scope before any number is set.
To get the number, text or call (866) 435-6328 with three things: a photo of the front of the house, the stories, and a rough window count. We price residential and commercial jobs by the same stories and window count, and on this visit we only do the exterior. Once we have those three things we can give you the figure on the same call.
| 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 of our customers book cleaning services for both jobs twice a year, and professional window cleaning works in the right order when the gutters come first on the same visit. Spring and fall are the two windows where the work pays off most: across California, our spring visits run mid to late June and fall visits late November to December.
Each visit tells us something different. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, a wet mat that sits in the runs and drags water over the edge in the first rain. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is when runoff from clogged gutters ends up on the glass, so we watch the forecast when we set the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packed between visits, and water that backs up that way can cause water damage on the siding and sills. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit and grime faster than most, and those houses need us more often than twice a year.
You will notice when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will notice when the gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Either one is a reason to call, and the window cleaners on our crew will tell you which one it is. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, since the windows are what people see first from the street.
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 window cleaning services cover residential properties in Fremont, and we book the work as a single visit. Ask us for an estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, and send a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. That is enough for us to give you a quote and set a date. Lead time depends on the calendar at the time you call, and we will tell you the first open day when we speak.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and that is when our calendar fills fastest. If you want a spring or fall slot, call early in that month rather than waiting for the first rain. Booking ahead of those windows is the simplest way to get the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we clean the gutters and downspouts before any glass is touched. We work from the outside only, so the windows inside are not part of this visit, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. Our goal is clean windows on every floor, so we clean every window we can reach from the ground or the lift, and we do the sill and frame on each one, which is how we remove dirt that would otherwise run back onto the pane. Residential window and gutter cleaning is what we do most days, and it covers the residential properties we serve, set up so you can schedule service without a long back-and-forth. If your home is one of the condos in a shared building, check with the building before you book, since the gutters and glass may be shared.
Yes. The window cleaners on our crew do the gutters too, so professional window cleaning and gutter work happen on one visit. We clean the gutters first, then the glass, so the dirty water from the runs never reaches the clean panes.
We do not give a range here. Our window cleaning services for houses are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted on a separate call.
Usually yes on our jobs. The outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that grime is what makes the glass look hazy. Exterior cleaning is how you remove dirt before it sets, and clean glass helps curb appeal from the street.
Across California, spring visits run mid to late June and fall visits late November to December. Call early in those months, because the calendar fills first in the pollen and leaf seasons.
No, that is why we go gutters first and glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed, the wall has a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches a window.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are cleaned on request and quoted before the crew starts.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and pressure washing is outside the washing services on this visit, so we will tell you if something else needs a different crew.
You do not need to be home. 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. If you live in one of the condos, check with the building first, since the gutters and glass may be shared.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
