Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the roof never lands on clean panes. Pricing starts from the number of stories, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. On our Shasta Lake jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up. We cover the outside of the glass only on this visit.
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 our window washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a window count with oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our window cleaning services cover the exterior only, so a quote never bundles interior and exterior glass into one price.
On our Shasta Lake jobs, the quotes that run highest usually come from houses with the most glass on the upper floors and a long run of gutter under a heavy tree line. To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the number of stories. We will ask about the windows and the gutters before we give a figure, so the quote is based on your house and not a guess. Regular cleanings keep the job quicker, and that shows on the invoice. Ask for a written estimate for any of our washing services before you book a date.
| 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.
Across California, most of the window and gutter jobs we do land in spring and fall, and that is how we schedule them too. On our Shasta Lake jobs, one crew in one visit makes sense because the two jobs share the same calendar. In spring, pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters. In fall, leaves build a wet mat that holds water against the fascia. Storms and wind shift the dates a little, so we call before we come, because wet weather makes it harder to remove dirt from the frames.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road all bring more grime and more clogged gutters between cycles. Sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are mineral water damage, not dirt, and cleaning solutions alone will not remove them. We work on residential and commercial buildings, and multi-story buildings need the same two-step order.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at the house.
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 works across Shasta Lake, and we clean houses in most of the older and newer parts of town. To book, you call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a quote from those. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows our calendar fills, so the earlier you call, the better your choice of day. We schedule service around the weather and call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Our cleaning services cover the outside of the glass, the gutters and downspouts, the sills, and the screens. The crew uses purified water and a water-fed pole, so the work reaches every window without a ladder against the siding. We offer professional window cleaning, and we bring the same care to every window, whether it is a small pane or a set of picture windows. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we do not touch the windows inside the house. Text a photo of the roofline and ask for a written estimate, then book a date that suits you, since clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit on residential properties. We do gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and condos are quoted the same way. Text us the front of the house and the number of stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before you book.
Usually yes, because the outside of a residential window carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between cleanings. Clean inside glass can still look hazy from the outside.
Our customers here book in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills, so call early.
No. We clean gutters first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and black runoff from the roof come down before anyone touches the windows. Cleaning the glass first means washing it twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit on the exterior side, and the crew uses water to remove dirt from them.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and unlock the side gate. Our crew sends photos of every run to your phone before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
