The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this bundle in the spring and fall, which is when the dust and leaves build up on the glass and in the runs.
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. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 and we give you that number from the stories and window count before anyone climbs a ladder.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. A high window count, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more haul-off. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions for the frames are part of the job, not billed as extras. We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, so when customers ask about the interior and exterior glass together, the quote covers only the exterior.
Porterville houses range from small single-story homes with picture windows facing the street to larger two-story houses with wide runs of gutter over the back patio. The most useful thing you can send us is the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text. We can usually tell from that what the job looks like, and whether a boom or scissor lift is needed for the upper glass. Regular cleanings on the same schedule keep the cost steady, because the gutters and glass build up less between visits.

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.
Most of our customers here book these cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the whole house. Our Porterville calendar fills in the busy months, so booking early helps.
At each visit we find the same things. In spring we find a pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load builds up and the wet leaf mat is what sags the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we watch the weather when we set them. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit, because grime and spotting come back quickly.
A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust and needs a closer look than a quiet street. Multi-story buildings, condos and houses with clogged gutters tend to show water damage sooner, so those are the homes we check most often. You will know it is time for gutters when water sheets over the edge in the rain, and it is time for windows when a haze shows only in low sun. Clean glass and clear runs also keep the curb appeal of the house up between visits.
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 provide professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning across Porterville, from older neighborhoods with tall trees to newer streets with wide front yards. You book by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we return a written estimate. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call. The busy windows are the spring and fall months, when our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the sooner we can schedule service.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Our window and gutter cleaning covers every window on the outside of the house, including the upper floors from the lift, and we wipe each sill and frame as we go, so the clean windows stay free of grit. Residential properties are our main work, and one crew handles each residential window and run of gutter on the house. If a property mixes residential and commercial use, tell us when you call so we can quote the glass correctly.
Yes, our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. The window cleaning services and the gutter runs happen together, and we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the runs washes across the windows afterward.
We do not give a figure on this page. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or by text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house.
Yes, because the outside carries most of the grime here: dust, rain grit and sprinkler spotting that build up between visits. Cleaning the outside is the way to remove dirt the weather lays on the glass. Clean glass outside also shows the frame and sill more clearly from inside.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, and that is when we see the most dust and leaves. Booking early in those seasons gets you a slot before the calendar fills.
No, we do gutters first and glass last. When gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and grit can come down the wall and across the windows below, so the glass waits until the runoff from the runs has stopped and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the job. These are not billed as extras.
Our washing services cover the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. 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 unlock the side gate. Our crew sends photos of every run and window to your phone before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
