The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and having both jobs done together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California and on our King City jobs, most customers book it for the two seasons when the dust, pollen and leaves build up hardest, spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number based on your stories and window count.
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.
For a residential window job in King City, we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit is cheaper than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and we confirm it before the crew is scheduled.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder, and multi-story buildings add setup time on every side. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years arrive packed with needles and leaves that have to come out by hand, and the runoff from a clogged run can streak the siding below. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before a run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since cleaning will not remove it. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras, so the window cleaning services and the gutter work are priced as one visit. Our washing services cover the exterior glass, and the windows inside the house are quoted separately, so an interior and exterior job gets two numbers.
Our King City experience shows what the numbers look like in practice. One recent house had a large run of picture windows and a backyard run of gutters that was packed solid, and the quote moved up for the extra stories and the guard lifting on the back side. A clear description of the house, the stories and a photo of the front by text gets you the exact window washing number before we arrive. Plan on regular cleanings if you want the curb appeal kept up, because the gutters and glass drift back toward grime between visits.

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 King City customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across California the pattern is similar, though the dates shift with the weather.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass, and the bud and seed debris packs the gutters. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until it is cleared. Storm and wind seasons can move both visits by a few weeks in either direction. Houses and multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction usually need a third visit, because the grit and spotting come back faster than twice a year allows.
Two signs tell you when it is time. Haze on the glass that only shows when the sun is low means the window needs cleaning. Water sheeting over the gutter edge during rain means the gutters are full, and the runoff that follows lands on the wall below. Clogged gutters are the first place water damage starts on the fascia and the wall below. Spots that come back soon after a clean are mineral, so they need a treatment rather than more cleaning solutions.
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 is made up of window cleaners who also clear gutters, and it has worked across King City. The neighborhoods we clean most are listed on the booking page with the rest of our service area. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you an estimate based on the number of stories and the window count. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when dust and leaves are heaviest, the calendar fills faster, so an early call helps.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work because the crew does not come inside. We bring the water, the poles and the ladders, and we handle every window on the outside of the house, using purified water to remove dirt without leaving streaks. Our approach to professional window cleaning, whether it is a residential window or a commercial job, is the same: a clear quote, a set time and a photo of every run before the crew leaves. Our cleaning services stay the same from house to house.
Yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, with gutters first and glass last, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and it applies to residential properties and condos alike. We give it by phone or text before anyone is scheduled.
It is, because the outside carries the rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up on the glass here, and those are the parts most homeowners notice first.
Most of our King City customers book in the spring and in the fall, which fits the dust and leaf seasons on the glass and in the gutters.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, let the wall drip off, and only then clean the windows, so the runoff never lands on the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, with no separate line item.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only; we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
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, and we will text photos of the work before we leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
