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 the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners book this service in spring and fall, and we have been doing it on the same calendar.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What we quote is built from those inputs, and we work out the figure before the crew ever arrives. The cleaning solutions are part of the price, along with the purified water used on the glass.
On the day, the crew finds a few things that move the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California the homes we clean vary widely in size and tree cover, so the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with a rough count of stories and windows. Many homeowners find that a single photo of a window-heavy elevation is enough for us to quote the whole job. Homeowners who book regular cleanings usually keep the same quote for the house, since the stories and windows stay the same. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts, and you will see the same figure on the invoice. Our residential and commercial clients both get the same straightforward approach to the number, whether it is a house or a multi-unit building.

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 one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on that schedule. Homeowners who book cleaning services on that schedule usually want the gutters and the glass done together. On our jobs we see pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters in the spring, and the wet leaf load arrives in fall. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction all bring more grime and runoff than a clear lot does, and the spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning. Our crew sees this most on professional window cleaning jobs where the glass sits under a canopy. Owners of multi-story buildings and condos often ask how often to book, and the answer depends on what lands on the roof and the glass.
The sign that windows need attention is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which usually means clogged gutters or a downspout that has packed up. Left alone, that runoff can lead to water damage at the fascia and the foundation line. Clean glass and clear gutters also protect curb appeal through both seasons.
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 works across the Olivehurst area and the homes around it, and we tailor each visit to the house in front of us. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will confirm the arrival window before we come. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills quickly, so it is worth booking early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Many of our clients are residential properties where the owners want one visit that covers window and gutter cleaning and the outside of every residential window. We approach each gutter run the same way, so the sill and frame get done along with the glass. When you schedule service with us, you get one crew, one visit, and one invoice that matches the quote, whether you have a small house or a large one.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
Our window cleaning services and gutter work are priced together from the stories and the window count, and we give you the number by phone or text before any work starts. Call (866) 435-6328 to get it.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the grime that matters most here: rain dust, sprinkler spots and the film that builds up on the glass. Exterior cleaning helps remove dirt from the panes, and a clean inside cannot make up for a hazy outside.
Most of our Olivehurst customers book in spring and fall, which lines up with leaf season and the spring film on south-facing glass. Across California the same two windows apply, so spring and fall are the times to plan.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the roof lands on it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same pass, and none of these are billed as separate extras. Our washing services cover the glass and frames in the same pass.
Many people ask whether interior and exterior glass come in one price. Ours is exterior only, so the windows inside stay out of the quote, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. 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.
