Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing running off the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Oildale jobs, most customers book this in the spring and the fall.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A large window count or oversized picture windows means more glass to work through. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning solutions remove it, and we will tell you so before we quote it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never folded into the same number.
On our Oildale jobs, the quotes that surprise people are the ones where the gutters have gone a long time between cleanings. The cheapest way to keep the number down is to keep regular cleanings on the calendar so the runs never get packed. The easiest way to get your exact figure is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, along with your stories and a rough window count.

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 Oildale jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the pollen season has peaked. Fall is December to early January, once the leaves are down and before the winter rains set in. Window cleaners in Oildale get the most calls in those two windows, and professional window cleaning is easiest to book before the calendar fills.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that blocks the runs, and clogged gutters are what let water sheet over the edge. Left alone, that runoff finds the fascia and leads to water damage. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, so we check the schedule against the weather rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Houses near a busy road or a construction site collect a film of dust that builds up faster than average. Owners of multi-story buildings and houses with a lot of glass often book more often for the same reasons, and a steady schedule keeps curb appeal up. We will tell you which pattern your house fits after the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 windows and gutters across Oildale, and the way to start is a phone call or a text with your number of stories and a photo of the house front. From there we give you a window and gutter cleaning quote that matches the invoice. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the busiest windows are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills fastest, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside the house without coming inside. If you have a residential window that is hard to reach, tell us when you book so we can plan the ladder setup.
Our crew handles residential properties and residential and commercial sites alike, so you can schedule service on a single house or a larger site. We will walk the exterior with you if you want to see the sill and frame condition before we start, and we will note every window we clean and every run we clear. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm a date.
Yes, our window cleaning services and gutter work come from the same two people on the same visit. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then wait before the glass, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on the clean windows.
Our washing services are quoted from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give you the number by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without those details, because the same two stories can be very different jobs.
On condos and on houses, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the inside would not remove any of that, so the outside is where the visible buildup is.
Spring visits across California run mid to late June, and in Oildale the fall visit is December to early January. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills fastest.
Not if the gutters are done first. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, and the runoff from a flushed downspout would hit the glass. So we rinse the siding and wait before we touch the glass, and the gutters and downspouts are always done before the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped to remove dirt as part of the job, and tracks are wiped where they can be reached from the outside. None of that is billed as an extra.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need that done, tell us and we will point you to someone who does it.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
