Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Our crew handles this work every spring and fall, which is when most of our customers book it. Quote by phone or text, and the number we give you is the number we charge.
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.
The price for window washing comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we quote on the phone is the number on the invoice. Professional window cleaning done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because the same ladder setup covers both sides of the house. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and we will confirm the count before we give you a figure.
Several things move the quote once our crew is on site. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach, and multi-story buildings need more ladder setups, so the time on site goes up. Oversized panes and large picture windows take more care per pane. Gutters that have not been cleared in years or are packed with needles and leaves take extra passes, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, so the house leaves with its curb appeal restored and no surprise line on the invoice. Work on the windows inside the house is a separate job and is never added to this quote.
On a Stanford job we followed the same order from the first ladder to the last. The house had two stories, a long gutter run on the back side and a row of clogged gutters that had been left for several seasons. Clearing the leaves first kept the window frames dry while the glass was done, and the crew photographed each run before it came down. The quote came from stories, window count and the state of the gutters, and the final invoice matched that quote. If your house has water damage from an old clog, mention it when you call so we can look for it on the visit.
| 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.
Most of our Stanford customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season and once in the fall after the leaves drop, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for those two cleaning services. Across the year the pollen film and road grime build up on south-facing glass, and the pollen paste packs the elbows of the downspouts. The leaf load in the fall is heavier, and wind or storm seasons can move the dates by a few weeks in either direction.
Regular cleanings twice a year cover most houses, but some need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on its frames and sills, and those houses often book a third visit as well.
Clean windows should look clear from any angle, so a visit is due when haze only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. If you are not sure which schedule fits your house, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we see on the first visit.
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 window cleaning services and washing services reach the neighborhoods of Stanford where we have cleaned gutters and exterior glass, and we can tell you on the phone whether your street is one we already service. Booking starts with an estimate, and you can call (866) 435-6328 or text us, giving us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We use that to set the count and the time on site, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and the crew does not come inside.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks the calendar fills, so book early if you want a specific date. Outside those windows slots open up more easily, and the lead time you will see on the phone is the one we can keep. We run the gutters and downspouts first, then the glass, so runoff from the roof does not reach the panes after they are clean. Every residential window follows that order.
We clean every window on the exterior that a ladder or pole can reach, along with the frames and the sills, and we clear the gutters and downspouts first so the crew can remove dirt from the roof line before it reaches the panes. Residential properties and condos get the same order of work as a single house, and the phone team can tell you whether a residential and commercial job fits the schedule. Ask us to schedule service for the date that fits your house, and we will confirm the date in writing before the crew arrives.
Yes. The window cleaners on our crew do both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the work is done in the right order.
There is no figure we give without looking at the house. We quote from the number of stories and the approximate window count, by phone or text.
On our Stanford jobs the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is usually the dirtier side.
Most customers here book in the spring after pollen season and again in the fall after the leaves drop, and the calendar fills in those windows, so it helps to book regular cleanings early.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the glass, so the water from the roof has already run off by the time the panes are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the exterior side. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so nothing is left behind to streak.
No. We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit. We split the work into interior and exterior glass, and this visit covers the exterior only, with no pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
