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 drips back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been on the roofline and the glass across California, and most of our calls come in for spring and fall.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate number of windows, and a window and gutter job booked as one visit costs less than booking them separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We do not give a price for a house we have not seen the outside of, and the stories and window count are enough to get you a figure before anyone climbs a ladder. We quote residential and commercial buildings the same way, from those two numbers, and condos are priced the same way as a single house.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, and that takes more time. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take more care to dry without marks. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and cleaning will not remove it, so we flag it and tell you what it is before we charge for anything beyond the job.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed as part of the job, along with screen rinsing and sill wiping, and none of it is billed as an extra. The glass is done with purified water, not cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak. The gutter and window cleaning you book is the job, start to finish, including the haul-off of debris. We do not blend interior and exterior glass into one number, so the quote covers the outside only. Later cleanings are quoted from the same two numbers.
On a recent Lodi job, a two-story home with a large front picture window and a lot of tree cover over the back run needed more time on the gutters than the front-only estimate suggested. The crew flushed the downspouts, cleared the elbows and then cleaned the glass with purified water. The quote we gave on the phone was the number we charged, and the photos went to the customer before we left. You can get your own number the same way: send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 Lodi customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Spring is when the pollen comes down, sticking as a film to south-facing glass and packing into the gutters as a paste. Fall brings the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the winter. Booking for window cleaners and cleaning services bunches up in those same two windows, when clean glass and clear gutters do the most for curb appeal.
On our jobs, what we find at each visit depends on the house. The pollen film on the glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the most visible things in spring. In fall, the leaf mat is what matters, and that is the visit that prevents water damage to the fascia over winter. Watch the clogged gutters, since a run that stays full through winter sends runoff over the fascia and into the wall where that damage starts. Storms and wind move the dates, so the visits shift a few weeks in a rough year.
Some houses need a third visit, and regular cleanings are how the crew keeps up with them. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and those customers are often on every three to four months. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, which is a sign the sprinkler needs adjusting as much as a sign the glass needs cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, and it shows up faster. The crew takes longer on multi-story buildings, since the gutters sit higher, and houses like that are often on a set schedule of visits.
Two customers show the range. One house with no trees gets a visit once a year in late fall, which is enough. Another under heavy trees with sprinkler spotting is on three or four visits a year, and the crew reports what it finds on each one. Ask us which of those your house needs after the first visit.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. The windows inside the house usually stay clean between visits, since the season mostly hits the outside glass.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Lodi, from the older blocks with mature trees to newer homes with long roof runs. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will give you the number on the phone and tell you when a slot is open. The lead time is listed on the booking page, and we call before we come. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the photo.
The two busy windows of the year are spring, when the pollen comes down, and fall, when the leaves drop. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so book early if you want a specific date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run and every pane before it leaves.
For houses that need the outside of the windows and gutters done together, one visit covers every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, and the crew will remove dirt from the frame before it leaves. Residential properties, condos and multi-level homes are our main work, and we handle both the gutter runs and the clean windows in one pass. Booking one window and gutter cleaning visit means one crew and one setup per side of the house, and our washing services are booked on that same visit. The same crew handles professional window cleaning services and gutter work in one pass, and a residential window is never touched before its gutter run is cleared.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clean gutters first and then the glass, so the water from the gutters does not run back onto the windows. Our window cleaning services cover the gutters and the outside glass on one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a figure before we book the date. Condos are quoted the same way as a single house, by stories and window count.
The outside is where the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect in Lodi, so the outside glass is usually the part that needs cleaning first. Runoff from the roof and gutters is what streaks that glass after rain.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves come down. Our washing services fill fast in those weeks, so ask for a date as early as you can.
No, gutters first and glass last. If the glass is washed first, the water running off the gutters streaks it again, which is why we do the roof, the gutters and the downspouts before anyone touches a pane. The gutters and downspouts are flushed before any pane is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior glass job, and they are not billed as separate items. The crew will remove dirt from the tracks in the same pass.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
