Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows 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 together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. On our Sonoma jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number on the phone.
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.
Our washing services price window and gutter work 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 takes longer to work safely. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes to remove dirt from the runs. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that cleaning alone will not remove. Purified water leaves no cleaning solutions behind on the glass, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Sonoma jobs, one customer with a two-story house and a row of picture windows across the back had us out for both in one visit, and the quote came down once we had the window count from a photo. Send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with your stories, and we will get you the exact number. Our crew handles residential and commercial work, so if you have a property that needs cleanings on a schedule, tell us about it on the call. We do not do interior glass on this visit; interior and exterior work is quoted separately.
| 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 Sonoma jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Our cleaning services are scheduled around the seasons, so regular cleanings follow the seasons and the leaf drop, not the calendar on your wall.
In spring the film builds on south-facing glass, and the tree litter packs the gutters, so the first visit is about clearing that before it bakes on. In fall the leaf load comes down the roof, and clogged gutters full of wet leaves are what cause the sag we see by winter, and that sag is where water damage starts. Storm and wind seasons move these dates, so we look at the house before setting the schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. Multi-story buildings with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and a house near a busy road or construction all change the schedule. Window cleaners see sprinkler spots come back a day after a cleaning; those are mineral marks, and they need a separate treatment. Most houses that only get the spring and fall visit never see that, but it is common enough that we ask about it.
Professional window cleaning is not the same as a quick rinse, and the difference shows up as haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, call us and we will look at it.
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 do window and gutter cleaning for residential properties and clean windows on houses across the city, and we handle every window on the outside of the building. Condos get the same exterior visit, quoted by stories and window count. We offer window cleaning services from one crew, so the gutters are done before the glass. Most of our crew's work in Sonoma so far has been on residential window jobs, and our calendar is simplest to read when you know the busy windows: the pollen months in spring and the leaf months in fall.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us with your number of stories and a photo of the house front. We will confirm a lead time once we see the house, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside, and windows inside are quoted separately. We keep the sill, the frame and the screen in the job, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, so nothing is left half done.
The city is large enough that we pick the route for the day around each crew's slots, so the first call is usually the easiest way to get a date on the calendar. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Yes. Our washing services are one visit: the same two people clean the gutters first and the outside of the glass after.
We give that number by phone or text based on stories and size, so call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front.
On our jobs the outside carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the outside is where most of the grime is.
Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, after the spring bloom settles and after the leaves come down.
No. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the windows we have just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are done as part of the job, not billed separately.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit; we do not do interior work or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off, 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.
