Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across California, most homeowners book this twice a year, in spring and fall, and our North Auburn customers follow the same pattern.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely, and oversized or picture windows take more time per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines does not come off with a cleaning and needs a separate treatment. A gutter that overflows in rain can send water into the fascia and cause water damage, so it is worth clearing before it gets that far. Gutters and downspouts are checked end to end, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
Here is how to get an exact number for your house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible, and tell us roughly how many windows are on the outside. We will give you the figure before anyone is booked. Companies that price by the cleanings you run through a year, or by the dust and grime on the glass, will land somewhere different, so ask us to walk you through what your number includes. Our crew sees a lot of window and gutter cleaning on older homes, and the same checklist applies to a single-story ranch or a multi-story building. Cleaning solutions are our own purified water, which dries clean without the spotting that tap water leaves behind. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same logic. A quote that calls for interior and exterior glass is a different job from ours, and we will say so on the phone. Ask for the written estimate before you commit, and we will send it.

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 North Auburn jobs, most customers book regular cleanings of gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the season.
What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In spring, a pollen film settles on south-facing glass, and damp debris packs into the downspout elbows where it can back up and cause water damage. In fall, the leaf load comes down and sits in the gutters until it is wet and heavy. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we book from what the house shows us that year rather than a fixed day on the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters filling between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass. Our crew sees these cases often enough to tell you early whether your house is one of them.
Two signs tell you when the windows need attention: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and gutters where water sheets over the edge during rain. Either one means it is time to book, not to wait for the next scheduled visit. A dull film on the front glass also takes away from curb appeal, so do not let it sit.
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 provides residential window and gutter cleaning services across North Auburn, and we know the neighborhoods our customers live in. We serve residential properties throughout the area. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, along with your number of stories. We will confirm a window and gutter cleaning slot and call before we arrive.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early booking in spring or late summer gets the date you want. Outside of those windows we can usually schedule service sooner. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Keep the side gate unlocked and we will handle the rest.
We clean every window on the outside of the house with professional window cleaning methods, including the sill and the frame, and we schedule service around the weather so the glass dries without streaks.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our washing services cover both, and the two-person team does the gutters first and the glass last, in one visit, so nothing dirty washes back onto the clean windows.
We give you the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house, and the same method applies to condos. We do not quote a range without seeing the house, and the figure you get is the figure you pay.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit. Pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass first, and this visit is how we remove dirt from it. Cleaning only the windows inside leaves that film in place.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, after the seasonal drop of leaves. Book early in those windows, because the calendar fills.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the debris and black runoff run down the wall, so the glass waits until that has stopped.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so you are not billed for them separately.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
