The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. That order keeps the runoff off the panes, so the glass is done once and the house keeps its curb appeal. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been providing washing services across California for years, and most of the work comes in during spring and fall, when the leaves and the grit 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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our cleaning services and washing services are quoted from those details, not from a guess after we arrive.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew works the run, and multi-story buildings are quoted by story count. Window count and oversized picture windows change the time on the glass. Clogged gutters, the ones that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with pollen, needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the gutter underneath can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, and we say so before we start. The crew flushes the gutters and downspouts as part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are included and are not billed as extras.
To get an exact number, tell us the stories, the rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. Regular cleanings on both systems are scheduled around what the house needs, and the same crew handles the two so the cleaning solutions and the rinse are matched to the gutters and the glass. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same logic, and condos are quoted like any house, by stories and window count. Our window cleaning services for a house with several picture windows or a lot of interior and exterior glass to cover are quoted on that basis, and we always say which parts of the job are in the number.
| 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.
On our Napa jobs, most customers book gutters and exterior glass twice a year, once in the spring after the trees finish shedding and once in the fall after the leaves come down. Both jobs run on the same calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes. Clean windows and clear gutters together are what keep the curb appeal up between visits.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutter elbows. At the fall visit it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs, which is how clogged gutters start. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we watch the forecast and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually means more grime and more runoff between visits, and a hose rinse will not always remove dirt that has dried on the glass. Those are the houses where the spots come back a day after cleaning, and where an overflowing gutter can lead to water damage at the fascia. Professional window cleaning on those homes is set to fit the conditions, not a fixed schedule.
You will know windows need a cleaning when the haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date.
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 gutters and windows across Napa, and the crew works the neighborhoods that call us most. Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but we quote by the house. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate before a slot is held. Lead time is listed on our booking page, and we will tell you the honest date on the call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills during both. Book early in those months and you will get the date you want. Outside them, slots open up more easily.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come and text when we are on the way. For residential window and gutter cleaning on residential properties, the work covers every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and the frame, so the clean windows stay clean at the edges too. The gutters are cleared from the roof down. We do not promise a day we cannot keep, so the date we give you is the one we aim to meet. Schedule service with us by phone or text, and we will confirm the details in writing.
Yes. Our crew does both on the same visit, gutters and downspouts included, so you only have one set of people on the property and one bill.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before you commit.
The outside carries the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so yes, the glass looks different once the outside is done, whether it is a house or one of our condos. Inside cleaning is a separate job we do not take on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in late spring and again in late fall, after the trees have finished shedding and after the leaves.
No. Gutters first, glass last. The leaves, the grit and the black runoff under them come down the wall and across any window below, so the glass is done after the gutters are flushed, which is how we remove dirt from the runs.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside are not part of it, and we do not pressure wash. Our washing services stop at the outside of the glass, the frames and the gutters.
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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
