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 from the roofline ends up on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our Madera customers most often book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up on the glass and in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 for a price on your house.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our washing services are priced by stories and approximate window count, and window washing booked with gutter work costs less than two separate trips. What we quote is based on what we find, so the number is set before the crew leaves the truck. Tell us the stories and the rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house by text if you can.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are steep roofs and multi-story buildings with a third story, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Regular cleanings keep the job smaller each time, because a light film of grime is much quicker to rinse than a season of buildup. If you also want interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate visit and we quote it separately.
Our Madera customers usually see the biggest change in the outside glass after a dusty season, and the crew can tell from a photo whether a visit will be quick or whether it needs a longer window. If a neighbor's house on the same street came to us with heavy tree cover over the roof, that job ran longer on the gutters than a bare-roof house, and the window count was the same. Ask us for the number once we have the stories and the window count, and we will tell you what drives it on your house.

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 Madera customers book the outside windows and the gutters twice a year, one visit in spring and one in fall. The spring visit catches pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters, and the fall visit clears the leaf load before the rain starts. Our crew does both in one visit, so a single appointment handles the window and gutter work. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak. A spring visit is also much quicker than trying to remove dirt that has baked onto the glass all summer.
Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, especially when a wet winter sends a lot of debris into the gutters all at once. Houses under heavy tree cover tend to need a third visit, because clogged gutters fill with needles and grit between cleanings. Houses with a sprinkler line hitting the glass need closer attention, since the spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral deposits, not dirt. Multi-story buildings with upper windows take longer on the pole, so plan a longer window for them. A house next to a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, and runoff from the street sprays the lower panes.
Watch for two signs that tell you it is time. Haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low means the windows need a visit. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during rain means the gutters are full or the slope is wrong, and left alone that can lead to water damage at the fascia. Our crew can tell which one it is when they arrive, and we will say so on the invoice.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and exterior windows on residential properties around Madera, on our crew's regular route. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number before any date is set. Lead time depends on the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, our slots fill faster, so book early if you want a particular week. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and they send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass to your phone before they leave. Our window cleaners work from the outside only. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, including upper floors reached from the pole, and our professional window cleaning uses purified water on the glass. We quote residential and commercial buildings differently, so if the building is not a house, say so when you call. A clean sill and a clean frame matter as much as the glass, and they matter for curb appeal, so we do them on every visit.
Our crew clears gutters and downspouts as well as the windows, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the work stays clean from roofline to sill.
The number comes from stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work starts. Multi-story buildings are quoted the same way, and condos follow the same rule: tell us the floor and the window count. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On a residential window job in Madera, the outside carries pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and rain alone will not remove dirt from the glass. Those are the things that make the glass look hazy even after you clean inside. Outside cleaning is the part that changes how the windows look from the street.
Our Madera customers most often book in spring and in fall, after the pollen drops and after the leaves fall. Those are the two visits that keep the outside glass and the gutters in order, before clogged gutters start to overflow.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them drop down the wall, and the runoff from the roof follows the same path, so the glass is cleaned only after that is finished. Gutters left to overflow can also cause water damage at the wall, which is one more reason the gutters come first.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the outside window work. They are not billed as extras on the visit.
This visit is exterior only, so we do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing. Interior and exterior glass is a separate job, and we quote it separately.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
