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 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 the houses we clean get the gutters and the glass done in spring and fall. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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. The bundle, both jobs in one visit, costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of window cleaning services by the pane, oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, guards that must 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. Window washing on the outside of the house is part of the same quote, and washing services on the glass cover every pane. We do not bill interior and exterior glass as one line item. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and window count to get the number before we book.
On a Hanford job, the first thing we ask is the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. That photo tells us how many windows we are working with and whether the roofline is walkable. For one recent customer, the quote moved because the back run sat above a sunken patio and the gutter was packed with grime and leaves that had gone unseen for two seasons. Once we cleared it and flushed the downspouts, the crew wiped the sills and cleaned the frames, which is part of the regular cleanings we schedule for that house. Your own quote will come from your own stories, glass and gutters, and you can have the exact figure before we book.
| 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, the houses we clean get the window and gutter work done twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and the wet mat sits in the runs through the first rains. The timing below is written for homes; a residential and commercial building with a different roof gets its own estimate from the photo. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we book from what the roof looks like rather than the calendar.
Some multi-story buildings and tall houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road all leave grit that builds up faster than twice a year allows. Sprinkler spots return a day after cleaning, and that is a mineral problem rather than dirt. Mineral spots are a separate job from the cleaning solutions used on the rest of the glass, and the crew says so on the visit. On the glass, the sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. On the gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Clogged gutters and water damage start there, and the sooner we see them, the cheaper the fix on the wall below.
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.
We work across Hanford and clean residential properties on a schedule that suits the household. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Our window cleaners and gutter crew then pick a date, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Professional window cleaning on every house follows the same order, gutters first and glass last, so the glass gets one pass rather than two. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busiest windows of the year fill the calendar fast, so book early in those months and take the first open slot. We keep the schedule simple, and we will tell you what the crew will do before it starts. Clean outside glass lifts curb appeal fast, and we aim to schedule service around the weather so the glass dries clean.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, on houses and condos alike. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the runs does not reach the clean panes.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up on residential window glass in Hanford. Clean the outside and the inside will look better through it. That is how we remove dirt from the frames and sills on the same visit.
Our customers here book in spring and in fall, when the pollen and leaf loads are heaviest. Across California the pattern is the same, and we will set the date from what we see on your roof.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Dirty runoff from the gutters and downspouts we have just cleared would otherwise land on the freshly cleaned panes below.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the visit and are not billed as extras. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the frames as we go.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside and we do not do pressure washing, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
