Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price both jobs by the number of stories, and booking them together costs less than two separate trips. On our Livermore jobs, most customers book this for the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves have built up on both the roofline and the glass. Tell us your stories 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.
We price gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, while windows inside stay out of the price.
On multi-story buildings, a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, which takes longer. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which need more time on the pole for professional window cleaning. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, and needle and leaf packing takes longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate job, and no regular cleaning clears the mineral etch from the glass on its own.
Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it is, and our window cleaners will give you an exact number for window washing from those two details. Many of our Livermore customers have one or more of these conditions, and we would rather see them on the phone than find them on the ladder. Clogged gutters that are left alone lead to water damage and dull the curb appeal of the house, and a quote that accounts for them up front avoids surprises on the day.
Across California, we have found that the houses with the most tree cover, the most glass, and the longest time since their last cleaning are the ones where the quote changes the most. A photo and a window count give us enough to quote accurately before the crew is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your number, or text a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a written estimate.

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 with residential properties book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. In Livermore, most of our customers book both cleaning services in the same visit, which is why one crew doing both jobs at once makes sense. Booking them together also keeps it simple to schedule service: one date, one crew, and one invoice.
In the spring, the pollen settles as a fine film on every window that faces south, and as a paste in the gutters and downspout elbows. By fall, the leaf load has built up over the summer and the wet leaves form a mat that holds water against the fascia. These two visits keep clean windows and clear gutters in place before the seasonal buildup becomes a problem. Storms and windy spells can move the dates, so we confirm the timing with you before we book.
Some houses need a third visit on top of the two regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts more debris into the gutters between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and on every sill, and it needs cleaning more often than the average house. We look at these conditions on the first visit and tell you whether your house needs the third visit.
The sign that a residential window needs cleaning is a haze you can see when the sun is low, especially on the glass that faces the afternoon light. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, call us and we will schedule service before the next rain.
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 clean gutters and windows across Livermore, and we fit the schedule around the busy spring and fall windows. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a price from those details. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date before the crew is booked. We call before we come, so you know when to expect the truck.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew cleans from the outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of each gutter run and the finished glass before they leave. Condos and multi-story buildings are handled the same way, with the crew working from the ground and from the lift where the height calls for it. Our crews cover the gutters and downspouts plus the washing services and window cleaning services that a house needs in one visit, so you do not need a second company for the gutters.
When we clean the glass, we are removing the grime and dust that sits on the outside of the window, which is the layer that dulls the view. The runoff from the roof during a storm carries leaf debris and dirt onto the lower windows, which is why we do the gutters first. Our process is set up to remove dirt from the roofline and the glass in a single pass, so the work is finished in one visit.
Yes, our crew does both jobs in one visit. The same two people clean the gutters first and then the glass, so you do not need a second company or a second trip. We price the bundle by the number of stories and the window count, and the same approach covers residential and commercial buildings.
The number comes from the stories, the size of the house and the window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will reply with an exact price before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside of the glass carries most of what dulls the view in Livermore. Pollen settles on south-facing glass in the spring, and picture windows show every smear because the pane is so large. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside, and cleaning the windows inside alone leaves that film in place.
Most of our Livermore customers book in the spring, after the pollen drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Those two visits are regular cleanings that catch the seasonal buildup. Storms can move the dates, so we confirm the timing with you before we book.
No, because we always clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a gutter run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall and across the window below it. Washing the glass first means it has to be washed again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and downspout flushing is included too. We do not bill those as extras, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Our crew cleans the exterior glass on this visit, and interior and exterior glass work is not part of the price. Most of the glass is cleaned with purified water, and cleaning solutions only come out for the spots water cannot lift. We do not do pressure washing, so that is not part of the price either.
No, you do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
