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 the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Our crew does this work in spring and fall, when debris and leaves build up most.
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 window and gutter cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take a boom or scissor lift. Clogged gutters that have not been cleared in years come out packed with needles and leaves, and pollen packed into the runs slows every foot of the clear. Gutter guards we must lift and reseat add minutes to every run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning solutions alone, and we tell you about it before we start. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
A house with two stories, a wide front of picture windows and a gutter run that has not been opened in years takes longer than a single-story house with the same window count, and the quote reflects that. Call (866) 435-6328 or send us a text with the front of your house and a count of stories, and we will tell you the number before we book. Our residential and commercial properties are quoted the same way, and our regular cleanings are scheduled from that first estimate. Interior and exterior work on the same windows is a separate job with its own price, because this visit covers exterior glass only.
| 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, most homeowners book cleaning services for gutters and windows in spring and again in fall, and the spring visit falls in mid to late June. Window cleaners see the same pattern on our Merced jobs, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both.
In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits on the roof and in the runs until the rain washes it through. Merced gets about 12.5 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are January, February and December, so fall visits usually land in late November to December, ahead of the heaviest weather. Storm and wind seasons move these dates, so we look at the house before we set the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit coming into the gutters, and clogged gutters jam again faster between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings and houses near a busy road pick up grime faster than the average. Our professional window cleaning crew checks these conditions on the first visit and tells you what the house needs.
You will see when the windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a hard rain. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is when water damage from clogged gutters shows up fastest. Windows inside the house are not part of this visit, so a haze on the glass is almost always on the outside. Until then, a visit once or twice a year is usually enough to keep curb appeal and stop water damage from starting at the fascia.
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 has worked on residential properties across Merced, from older houses with wide front windows to newer homes with narrow side panes. Clean windows come from the same wipe-down and rinse on every window we clean on the outside, and the sill is wiped at the end of each run. We do window and gutter cleaning on single-family homes, townhouses and condos, and we can handle residential window jobs that need extra time on the ladder.
To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you the number on the phone, and the crew calls before it comes. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so the earlier you ask, the easier it is to schedule service at the time you want.
Ask for a written estimate if you want the numbers in writing before you decide. We will schedule the job for a date that fits your plans and confirm it the day before.
Yes, it is the same two people on the same visit. We clean gutters and downspouts first and the outside glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches windows we have already washed.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book.
On a Merced house the outside collects grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside alone is enough to remove dirt that builds up on the glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the spring bloom settles and after the leaves fall. Those are the two times the gutters and glass build up the most.
No. We clean gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, and every downspout is flushed before the glass is touched. Clearing the gutters first means runoff from the gutters cannot drip onto windows we have already washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, and condos get the same treatment. Tracks are wiped during the visit, and there are no extra charges for them.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. For interior and exterior work on the same windows, ask us for a separate estimate. We do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
