The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here in Galt. We always do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Most of our Galt customers book it in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up fastest.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, so tell us the stories and roughly how many windows when you call or text.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew works the back and side runs. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes and picture windows, which take longer to reach and dry properly. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor, because cleaning alone will not remove it and we tell you that before we start. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What we have seen on our Galt jobs is that the quote is easiest to get right when we know the house. A photo of the front of the house sent by text, along with the stories and window count, lets us give you the exact number before the crew is scheduled. Cleaning solutions we use on the glass are chosen for the outside of the house, and we do not add interior and exterior work to a visit unless it is booked separately. Our crew also handles residential and commercial buildings, and the quote is set the same way for both. Regular cleanings are often easier to schedule than one-off jobs, and the same crew knows the house from one visit to the next. If you have had the gutters cleaned by someone else before, tell us, because the picture windows and the window and gutter setup on your house will tell us how long the job takes. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the stories and window count, and we will get you the exact number.

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 Galt customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and the same crew handles both in one visit. Our crew sees the same pattern each time: pollen film on south-facing glass and spring debris packed in the gutters during the spring season, and wet leaf mats in the fall.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, but the spring and fall calendar holds for most houses. Cleaning services like ours are most useful when they follow that calendar, because the buildup is predictable. Window cleaners who work by the season tend to find the same thing on each visit: haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and gutters that look fine from the ground but are full at the elbow.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag those on the first visit. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, so professional window cleaning there tends to come up more often. Multi-story buildings and homes with long runs of gutter take the same kind of planning. Clogged gutters are the most common reason for a second visit in between, because runoff backs up and can cause water damage at the fascia and the wall below.
You will know the windows need cleaning when you see haze in low sun. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during a rain. If you see either, call us and we will schedule a visit, since clean glass and clear gutters do most of the work 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.
Our crew has cleaned residential properties across Galt, including condos and single-family homes, and we book window and gutter cleaning in the order calls come in. To get started, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will send you a written estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and during the spring and fall peaks our calendar fills faster, so the sooner you call the better.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew comes to the outside of the house and does not come inside. We call before we come, so you know when to expect us. We clean every window on the outside that we can reach safely from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift, including the upper stories, and we wipe the sill on each one. If a pane or a gutter run cannot be reached safely, we photograph it and tell you before we leave.
When you schedule service with us, we confirm the date and the arrival window. For clean windows that stay clear between visits, the same crew comes back each time, so the house is learned from one visit to the next. Residential window cleaning services and gutter cleaning are the two services we book together most often, which is why one visit covers both in a single appointment.
Yes, our crew does both. We offer washing services for the gutters and the outside glass, and the same two people clean the gutters first and the glass last in one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send us those two things and a photo of the house front, and we will quote the exact price.
On our Galt houses the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside alone helps you remove dirt from the glass, even when the inside is fine.
Our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. The spring visit comes after the spring build-up and the fall visit comes after the leaves come down, so the calendar follows what we find on the glass.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the leaves and grit from the gutters run down the wall and across the panes below, so we avoid that order.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the visit, and we rinse the screens and wipe the sills as we go. They are not billed as extras.
We do not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. Our work is exterior glass only, and we want you to know that before you book.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
