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 runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our crew does this work across California, and spring and fall are when most people book it.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. The same stories-and-window formula covers residential and commercial buildings. Regular cleanings on the same house are priced the same way, so the number holds from one visit to the next.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked takes more time. So do oversized panes and large picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years, and gutters packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced separately, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a stain that cleaning alone will not remove. Our crew uses purified water on the glass and reaches for cleaning solutions only where a stain needs one. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so we quote only the exterior. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get to the exact number. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and your approximate window count, then text us a photo of the front of the house. Most of our Martinez customers do the window and gutter cleaning together, and that photo lets us see the film and debris load before we quote. Our crew reviews that photo and calls you back with the figure we will hold to on the invoice.
| 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, spring visits usually come in mid to late June. Most customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes. On our Martinez jobs, fall visits usually come in late November to December.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, along with wet leaf mats that hold water against the fascia. Clogged gutters that overflow in the rain are the usual route to water damage at the eaves, which is why we do not skip the fall visit. Windstorms and atmospheric-river rain can move these dates, so we watch the weather and call before we come.
Some houses and multi-story buildings need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house close to a busy road or active construction all tend to build up faster. Sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are a sign the line is hitting the glass.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and that haze is what takes the curb appeal out of a house. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspouts.
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 have cleaned window and gutter cleaning jobs across Martinez, and our crew works the whole city rather than a single block. Our window cleaning services and gutter runs are booked together, starting with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the price and a date.
Lead times depend on the season. The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when debris fills the gutters, and that is when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months to schedule service on the day you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. We schedule service for residential properties around the house's layout, so a residential window job and a gutter run can share the same visit. Every window on the outside gets cleaned, so you end up with clean windows on every side, and the sill and frame are wiped as part of the job.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give you that figure by phone or text before we book. Send us the stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the price.
In Martinez, the outside of the glass carries rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside alone is how we remove dirt and grime that builds up between visits.
Our customers here book in spring and fall. Across California, spring visits usually fall in mid to late June, and our Martinez fall visits usually come in late November to December.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass were washed first, the leaves and grit from the gutters would run down the wall with the runoff and across the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are covered in the sill cleaning, and gutters and downspouts are flushed during the same visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Our washing services do not cover the windows inside the house or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you own a unit in one of the condos, ask the building manager first whether exterior ladder access is allowed.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
