Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls from the gutters lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Mendota customers book it in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are at their worst.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so there are no surprises on the invoice. We do not quote a price here; the starting figures are shown above, and the exact number comes from a short call or a text with the house front.
On our jobs, four things move the quote. The first is stories and roof pitch: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked takes more time and a boom or scissor lift. The second is window count and size, since oversized panes and picture windows take longer to reach and rinse. The third is clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, because those take extra passes to clear. The fourth is gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is also a factor, because cleaning alone will not remove it.
Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and so are the cleaning solutions and the water. Our crew checks each downspout until the water runs clear and wipes every sill we can reach from the ground or the lift.
Here is how a quote usually comes together. Tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows face the street and the yard, and text a photo of the front of the house. We will call back with a number that matches the work on that house. We keep this simple so you can decide before a crew is booked, and we do not add a second visit to finish a job we already quoted.
Our crews handle residential and commercial jobs, and professional window cleaning follows the same order on each: gutters, then glass. For a homeowner the scope is the house; for a building manager it is each building on the site. Multi-story buildings are priced by stories and window count, the same as a house. If you have a single house with a picture window over a porch, that residential window is priced into the number, not added later. Cleanings are done on the schedule you agree to, and regular cleanings keep the job predictable from one visit to the next.
The interior and exterior of a window are two separate jobs. On this visit we clean the outside of the glass only, because that is what the gutter water reaches. Windows inside the house are a separate job we do not do on this visit, and pressure washing is not part of it either.
| 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.
Most of our Mendota customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall after the leaves drop, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California the calendar is the same idea: the spring visit clears what the winter rain left behind, and the fall visit clears what the leaves and the first storms bring down.
On the glass, the pollen film sits on the south-facing windows and paste builds up in the gutters through spring. In the fall we find the leaf load and the wet mats that make clogged gutters hold water against the fascia. Storms and strong wind seasons move the dates, so we book around the weather rather than the calendar when a storm is due.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit all year, and those downspouts clog between visits. Mendota gets about 10.7 inches of rain a year, and January through March are the wettest months, so clogged gutters that back up in those months can lead to water damage at the fascia and sills. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, so those windows need a closer look. A house near a busy road, a construction site, or multi-story buildings with a lot of glass collects more grime on the glass and more runoff in the gutters. We will tell you which of those applies to your lot after the first visit.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, the kind that makes the glass look cloudy from inside. Clean glass also does a lot for curb appeal, so the visit is about the look of the house as well as the drainage. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running through the downspout. If you see either, call and we will look at it.
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 residential properties and clean windows across Mendota, and our crew handles the full window and gutter cleaning in one visit. Booking starts with a phone call or a text to (866) 435-6328: tell us the number of stories, send a photo of the house front, and we will schedule service with a number and a date. We call before we come, so you are never surprised by a truck in the driveway.
Lead time changes with the season. The two busy windows are spring and the time the leaves come down in fall, and in those our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book a few weeks ahead. Outside those windows slots open up more easily. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we will tell you ahead of time when the crew is on the way.
Every window we clean on the outside gets the same treatment, and we check each sill and frame as we go. If a window is out of reach from the ground and needs the lift, we say so on the estimate rather than on the day.
Yes, our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not run down onto clean windows. Doing both in one visit is simpler for you and cheaper than two separate trips.
We do not give a figure on the web because the number depends on the stories and the size of the house, and the same rule covers condos and townhouses. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number on the phone. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what dulls a window here. Film from the air, rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots build up on the glass from the outside, and cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt from the glass. The inside is a separate job, and we do not do it on this visit.
Most of our Mendota customers book in the spring and in the fall after the leaves drop. Booking a few weeks ahead helps, because the calendar fills faster in those two windows.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass is cleaned after that. It is the order of work that keeps the windows clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Gutters and downspouts are cleaned in the same visit, and downspout flushing is included too. We do not bill any of it as an extra. Tracks are cleaned where we can reach them from the outside.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home for our window cleaning services. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every run and the finished glass before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
