Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again on the way out. 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. On our Mountain House jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves build up. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window washing and gutter work is quoted as one figure, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and the washing services and cleaning services we list are all inside that figure. Only the exterior is in this visit, so anything on the interior and exterior of the house is quoted separately before the crew arrives.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that is slow to reach, a large number of window panes including oversized picture windows, a layer of grime on the lower panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Those are the things we look at when we quote, and window cleaning services are priced the same way every time.
On one of our Mountain House jobs, the number moved because the house had two stories, a large run of picture windows along the back, and a gutter line that had not been cleared in several years. The crew flushed every downspout, rinsed the screens, and wiped the sills as part of the price, working to remove dirt from the gutter line first. The crew also checks every window before the glass is done, so nothing is missed. To get your own number, text us a photo of the front of the house with your stories and a rough count of windows, and you get a figure before anyone comes out. Regular cleanings keep the glass and the runs from getting to that point, and they keep the job quick. They also keep clogged gutters and grime from building up, which protects curb appeal.

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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, and on our Mountain House jobs that is the pattern too. One crew doing the two jobs in one visit is why that schedule works. In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are what we find, and the window and gutter pair tends to need both at once. In fall the leaf load builds up, clogged gutters are the usual result, and the storm season moves the dates, so the timing shifts a little from year to year.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit in the downspouts between visits, so those customers come back every three to four months. A downspout that backs up between visits can lead to water damage at the fascia, so those customers come back sooner. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment rather than ordinary cleaning solutions, which we quote before the crew goes on the ladder. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder work, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster. We see these conditions often enough that we ask about them on the first call.
Windows show when they need it in the haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters show it when water sheets over the edge in rain. We do not sell DIY instructions, but if either sign is there, the next visit is the right time. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you whether your lot needs twice a year or more.
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 handle residential and commercial jobs across the city, and our crew works the neighborhoods of Mountain House on a regular schedule, covering residential properties and commercial buildings alike. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we return a number before any slot is set. Our window cleaners count every window on the front and sides before quoting. Lead time is shown on our calendar, and we call before we come. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring pollen and fall leaves, so an early call gets the better slot. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and the crew confirms the slot before it comes.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of each gutter run and the finished glass by text before it leaves. Professional window cleaning on a house this size is a morning's work, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. We schedule service around the weather, so a storm can move the visit by a day.
For commercial work we run gutter cleaning per building on a set schedule, and the same crew handles the residential side. Gutters and downspouts are checked on every building, and the cleaning services we run are the same ones we use on houses. Ask for a written estimate, and text a photo of the roofline if you want us to look at the slope before you book.
Yes. Our crew does both, gutters first and glass last, in one visit, so nothing is washed twice. Gutters and downspouts are cleared before any glass is touched.
Our window cleaning services and gutter work on a two-story house are quoted from stories and window count. We give the number over the phone or by text, and there is no fixed figure we can quote without seeing the house.
On our residential window jobs here, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, and those build up even when the inside stays clean. That is what the exterior visit is for: to remove dirt the weather leaves on the glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, and we can tell you the timing for your lot on the first call.
No. Gutters and downspouts go first and the glass goes last, so the runoff from the gutters is already gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on houses and condos alike, and those are part of the job, not extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not cleaned, and 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, 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.
