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 jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Redding jobs most customers book in spring and fall, which is when the grime and the leaf load are heaviest.
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 stories and approximate window count, and professional window cleaning bundled with gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge for this window washing, with nothing added at the end.
On our jobs the quote moves with a few things we can see from the ground. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder, and the same is true of multi-story buildings. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work per run, and a run that sheets water over the edge can send water damage toward the wall. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions are part of the job and not billed as extras.
On a recent Redding job the house had a steep upper roof, a long south-facing glass wall and gutters packed with needles and leaves from the trees along the back run. Its quote moved on the stories and the pane count, and the crew flagged sprinkler spotting on two panes before any work started, since that spotting hurts curb appeal and a standard cleaning does not remove it. You can read the full job here. To get your exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows you want done.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 Redding customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for that schedule of regular cleanings. What we find on the glass in spring is a pollen film on south-facing panes and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. Through the fall the leaf load builds up and the downspout elbows block first, so the autumn visit is about wet leaf mats rather than seeds.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film of dust that a standard visit only partly removes. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we check the roofline first, then schedule service on a day that suits the house and the weather. Our cleaning services are booked that way for every visit.
Two signs tell you when a residential window needs cleaning and when the gutters need it. Windows need cleaning when you can see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in 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 provide window cleaning services and gutter washing services for residential properties across Redding and book a crew by estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. We give you the estimate from that, and we call before we come, so nobody needs to wait at the curb without a text.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the late fall leaf fall. In those weeks the calendar fills faster, so booking early keeps your preferred day. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew stays outside and sends photos of every gutter run and every window before the truck leaves. Our crew handles the runoff from the gutters and downspouts first, so the glass gets done after the water has stopped dripping, and the crew only has to remove dirt from each pane once.
We also do commercial work across the area, including condos and small office buildings, and we schedule those on a set calendar. Both residential and commercial buildings are cleaned by the same crews, scheduled around how each property needs to be serviced.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we give you the exact figure.
Yes, because the outside takes the rain dust and sprinkler spotting here, and clean windows do a lot for curb appeal. Those build up on the exterior glass and do not get reached by cleaning the inside.
Most of our Redding customers book in spring and fall. Spring catches the seed and dust build-up and fall catches the leaf load, so those are the two visits that matter most.
Not when the order is right. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and picture windows are cleaned from the outside like every other pane. Tracks are included in the visit, so they are not billed as extras.
No. Interior and exterior glass are separate for us, and this visit covers exterior glass only, with no windows inside and no pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
