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 doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Most of our Rocklin customers book it in the spring and fall, and that is when our crew does the most work on these houses.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We will not give you a figure before we know the stories and the window count, because a number without those is a guess.
On our jobs, these are the things that move the quote. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A high window count or oversized panes take more time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more work before the flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate problem that cleaning will not remove, and the cleaning solutions for it are quoted apart from the rinse. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a recent Rocklin job, the quote came up because the back of the house had a second story over a patio roof and a run of picture windows facing the street. Our crew counted the stories, walked the window count, and sent the number before the visit. The owner knew the price before anyone got on a ladder. Our rule is simple: send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will tell you the number.
If you have a bigger property, or one with a lot of glass, the same approach works. If the building is a mix of residential and commercial space, tell us when you call, because the scope changes the number. We look at the number of stories, the window count, the gutter condition and any spotting, then give you one figure. There are no surprise add-ons when we arrive, and we do not charge for flushing the downspouts or rinsing the screens. The number covers the exterior glass and gutters you booked, and no interior and exterior add-on shows up on the day. The crew leaves photos of every run and every window before the truck pulls away.

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 Rocklin customers book regular cleanings of gutters and exterior glass twice a year, and one crew can cover both in a single visit. On our jobs that works out to a spring visit and a fall visit, because that is when the house is most dirty. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit runs December to early January.
What we find at each visit depends on the calendar. In the spring, the pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and turns into a paste in the gutters. By fall, the leaf load is at its heaviest, and clogged gutters hold the wet mat for weeks. Storm and wind seasons can move the timing, so we look at the house before we set the date. Rain in Rocklin is concentrated in the winter months, and a gutter that sheets water over the edge during a storm usually tells us a run has backed up.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, which means the mineral is on the glass, not just the dirt. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime, so the glass shows it sooner. A run that stays blocked through a storm can push water damage into the fascia and the wall below it. We will tell you on the first visit whether your house is one of those.
You will know the glass needs cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water runs over the edge in the rain instead of into the downspout, and that runoff is what streaks the wall below. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, and spring is when most owners notice it. The windows inside the house are on your own schedule, since they are not part of this visit. If you see any of this, text us a photo of the house front and we will tell you what we see.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across Rocklin, and we book service as the calendar allows. To get started, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We give you a number by phone or text, and once you accept it we set a date that fits the crew. Our window and gutter cleaning work covers the residential window and gutter jobs on residential properties we take on, and we book every window on the house so clean windows end up on every floor.
In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, our calendar fills faster. If you want a slot in those months, it helps to ask early. Outside those windows there is usually more room, though multi-story buildings need more time on the ladder, so ask early for those. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew works outside and does not come inside.
We keep the process simple so you can schedule service without a long back-and-forth. Give us the stories, send the photo, accept the number, and we confirm the date. The crew arrives with the equipment, and we leave photos of the gutters, the glass and the sill before the truck leaves.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the roof does not run back across windows we just finished. One visit covers both, and you get photos of each. If you searched for washing services, this one booking covers both.
We do not quote a figure without the stories and the window count. Call (866) 435-6328 with both, or text a photo of the house front, and we give you one number. The number we quote is the number we charge.
On the houses we clean in Rocklin, the outside collects the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots even when the windows inside look fine. Clearing the outside helps remove dirt and leaves the glass clear, and it is the side the street sees first.
Most of our Rocklin customers book in the spring and fall. Spring is when the pollen film and paste build up, and fall is when the leaves load the gutters. Booking in either window works, but the calendar fills faster then.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall drip before we touch the glass, which keeps the runoff, the leaves, grit and black water from running across panes we just cleaned.
Professional window cleaning on our jobs covers all of it: screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are done. Tracks are included in the exterior visit, and none of this is billed as an extra, so the number on the phone covers it.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows, and we do not pressure wash siding or decks on this visit.
You do not need to be home. 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. If the home is one of the condos, tell us before booking whether the gutters belong to your unit or the association. The crew sends photos of every run before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
