Yes, the same two people handle your window cleaning services and your gutters in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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 Phelan jobs, most customers book it in spring and fall, when the film on the glass and the leaf load build up enough to matter. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote from your stories and window count.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The count rule is the same for residential and commercial jobs, and the quote covers the cleaning solutions, the water and the crew's time, so nothing is added at the door.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized panes and picture windows take more time per pane than standard sashes. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter, because cleaning does not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are priced differently, and this quote covers the exterior only.
On our Phelan jobs, the film that settles on the glass and the packed debris in the gutters is most of what we clean at each visit, and the same is true for the dust that comes down with the rain. Houses on regular cleanings have less buildup to clear, which usually keeps the crew's time down. To get the exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows you have. A photo of the front is usually enough for us to tell whether a boom or scissor lift is needed for the upper glass.
| 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 Phelan jobs most customers book regular cleanings of both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring after the seed drop and once in the fall, usually October to early November, after the leaves come down. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
Each visit shows us something different. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and packed debris in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, which goes wet and heavy in the first rains and fills the gutters until water backs up. Storms and wind seasons move these dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar. Clogged gutters that stay full through our wettest months, January, February and December, are where water damage starts.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings, heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house close to a busy road or active construction all push the schedule up. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day later, and we flag them on the first visit so you know what to expect.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. A clean front also keeps curb appeal up, since the haze shows most from the street, and wiping a dry pane only spreads the film, which is why the crew rinses to remove dirt first.
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.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us. We ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number on the phone. We tell you the first open slot when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall seasons, when the leaves and the film build up, and that is when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months if you want a specific date. For a residential window cleaning or a residential properties job, professional window cleaning covers the full exterior in one visit, and every window gets the same care.
We can clean the clean windows you already have and get the house back to looking right, and if you want to schedule service through the phone or text, we will confirm the date in writing.
Yes. Our washing services for gutters and windows are done by the same two people on one visit. We start with the gutters and finish with the glass, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches clean windows.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you get it by phone or text.
In Phelan the outside carries the film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, which the inside does not. Cleaning only the inside leaves that grime on the glass, so the outside is where the work shows.
Our customers here book in the spring pollen season and again in the fall leaf season. Those are the months we see the most buildup, and they fill fastest.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush each downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and then clean the glass. That order keeps the runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we tell you before we start if one packed with grit needs more time to remove dirt.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside and we do not pressure wash on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. In condos on a shared gutter run, ask the association for access before the crew arrives.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
