Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean windows. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Most customers book this for the spring and fall visits, when the leaves are heaviest. Enter your stories and window count below to get an approximate estimate in under a minute.
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 a bundled visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter cleaning as two separate trips. Homeowners comparing quotes from window cleaners often find that the gutters are what changes the total. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning are priced together so you can see both options side by side.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer and more equipment. Picture windows and oversized panes add time, and a high window count adds more. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more passes. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with regular cleaning and is noted on the quote before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit and are not priced here.
On a typical Orangevale job, the crew finds the same things again and again. Tree cover puts needles and grit into the downspouts, and the first flush tells us how clogged they really are. Sprinkler lines that hit the glass leave spots that come back a day later. Houses with a lot of glass on the upper floors need a boom or scissor lift for the top rows. Clean gutters and clear glass do more for curb appeal than most homeowners expect, and we write all of this on the estimate so the number you get is the number you pay.
To get your exact number for professional window cleaning and gutter work, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the photo, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone is scheduled.

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 customers book both gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning twice a year, in mid to late June and again in late November to December. That rhythm is why one crew and one visit makes sense: the calendar lines up with the spring pollen and the fall leaf drop. Many homeowners set up regular cleanings on that schedule, and local conditions in Orangevale decide the exact timing.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass is visible within days, and tree dust sits in the gutters and at the elbows of the downspouts. In late fall, the leaf load on the roof and in the gutters is heavy, and the wet mat that forms after the first rains holds water against the fascia, which is where water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we plan around them rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters all year, and one sprinkler zone can reach every window on a side of the house, which leaves spots that come back a day later and need a closer look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than a quiet street.
Even clean windows show a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and that is the sign the glass needs attention. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during 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.
Our crew cleans gutters and windows across Orangevale on residential properties, and we work from one estimate per house so the schedule stays simple. To schedule service, call or text and tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will confirm the estimate and the lead time for your slot in writing before we set a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when the leaves and tree dust peak. If you want a spring or fall slot, we suggest booking early in those windows. Our crew handles residential window cleaning services and gutter cleaning, and our washing services cover the whole house in one visit, which keeps the schedule and the number of trips down. We clean the gutters and downspouts first so the runoff does not reach clean glass, and we remove dirt from the frames and sills as we go.
Single-story and two-story houses fit a standard visit. Multi-story buildings and condos with a lot of glass often need a longer window. We cover those cases in the estimate so there are no surprises on the day of the job.
Yes. The same crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the building, and the method is the same for residential and commercial jobs. We give it by phone or text, and we do not quote a figure without those details.
Yes, because the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. The job covers the exterior only, since interior and exterior glass are separate jobs.
Across California, most customers book in mid to late June and again in late November to December, and the spring and fall visits follow the same pattern.
No. Gutters go first, glass last, so the runoff is gone before we touch the panes. We rinse the glass with purified water and use no cleaning solutions, so there is nothing left to streak.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 with any questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
