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 in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners who book this bundle do it in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up the 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.
We price 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 on the phone is the number we charge. Quotes for residential and commercial buildings use the same method, and every window on the front of the house is counted before we quote. The quote we give from the front of your house is the one we stand behind.
On our jobs, what moves a quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time and more equipment. Window count matters, and so do picture windows, the oversized panes that need extra handling. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something cleaning will not remove, so we flag it before we start. Cleaning the windows inside is not part of this visit, so we do not quote it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across our Golden Hills jobs, the quotes that climb the most are the ones where the owner did not know the stories or window count until the crew arrived. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and the count of stories, and we can get you an exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Our crew handles window washing, window cleaners' standard exterior work, and professional window cleaning on the same visit, and the clogged gutters we clear are the ones that caused most of the water damage we see at the foundation line. A clean façade keeps your curb appeal up, and on multi-story buildings the upper runs are where the problem usually starts.
| 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.
Most of our customers book two cleanings a year, one for gutters and windows in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and here in Golden Hills the fall visit runs late October to November. Our crew sees the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring, and the wet leaf load by fall. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we confirm the window with you when you book the visit.
Some homes need a third visit beyond the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road usually needs more frequent cleaning. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and they tell us the water is the problem, not the dust. For cleaning services that keep up with the way your lot actually works, we set the schedule service around what we find on the first visit.
Two signs tell you it is time to book clean windows again: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutter water sheeting over the edge during rain. A residential window that looks fine from inside can still carry a film on the outside, and a sill that holds dirt will keep it there until someone wipes it. Those signs mean the schedule is due.
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 works across Golden Hills, and we have cleaned homes throughout the neighborhoods in the area. We clean residential properties across Golden Hills, from single houses to small multi-unit buildings, and we do washing services and window cleaning services for each one. Condos where the gutters and downspouts run the length of a shared roof are included too. Rain washes grime and runoff off the roof, and the gutters carry most of it, which is why we clear them before we touch the glass. Our job is to remove dirt from the gutters and the windows so the water runs where it should.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate. We confirm the first open date on the call. In the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters first and the glass last, in one visit.
We do not quote a figure without knowing the size of the house. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it to you by phone or text.
On our jobs in Golden Hills, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what dull the glass from the outside in.
Most of our Golden Hills customers book in the spring pollen season and again in the fall leaf season, so those are the months our calendar fills first.
No, because we clear the gutters before we touch the glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are part of the visit, not extras. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass.
We clean the exterior only on this visit. Interior glass is not part of the job, so we do not quote it, and we do not do pressure washing here.
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 while the ladders are up, 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.
