Yes, the same two people clean the 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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Stockton jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up fastest. The number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is based on those inputs rather than a guess from the curb. Our window cleaners price window washing on the same inputs whether it is a first visit or a repeat one. The windows inside the house are not part of the quote, which covers the outside glass only, and clean gutters and glass also make a difference to curb appeal.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely, and oversized panes take more time per window. Gutters that have not been cleared in years or are packed with needles and leaves take longer to reach, and gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate job, since cleaning does not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how it plays out on a typical job. One Stockton customer with a two-story house and a lot of glass on the street side had the gutters packed with leaves and sticky paste, so our crew spent most of the first hour clearing clogged gutters before touching a pane. Once the runs were flushed and flowing, the windows went fast. Another job was a single-story house where the water damage on the fascia was visible from the ladder, and we photographed it and noted it in the report. Neither job had a price inside the story, and each quote came from the same measures we use on every house. Before we give you a number, we ask for the stories, the rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. That is all it takes to get the exact figure. We also ask whether any of the windows are picture windows or sit on multi-story buildings, since a boom or scissor lift changes the setup.
Professional window cleaning on a Stockton house is not complicated, but it does depend on what the glass and gutters have collected since the last visit, and that is what the quote is built from. Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the front of the house, or book a date, and we will quote the job from there.

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 Stockton jobs most customers book both gutter and residential window cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring is when a dusty film settles on south-facing glass and a paste forms in the gutters, and fall is when the leaf load comes down and packs the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we confirm the month when you book, and regular cleanings on that schedule keep the buildup in check. Our cleaning services can be booked on that same calendar.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. In the spring, the pollen film on the glass is thick enough to see from the street, the dust collects on the sill, and the sticky paste sits in the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall, the leaf load fills the gutters and the wet mat is what sags the runs over winter. Heavy tree cover over the roof means a third visit is often needed, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that wets every window on one side leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a third visit or a mineral treatment. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass, so it tends to need an extra cleaning as well.
Two residential properties show the difference. One on a lot with no trees is on twice a year and that is enough. Another on three or four visits a year is under trees and has sprinkler spotting that comes back. You can tell which schedule your house needs after the first visit, and you can schedule service on that cadence from the start. You will know the clean windows are due sooner when the haze shows only when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into 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.
Our crew cleans gutters and exterior windows across Stockton for residential and commercial customers, and we book from a phone or text estimate. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will schedule service for a time that works. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill the calendar faster, which is why we ask you to book early in spring and fall. When the calendar is full we tell you the next open date rather than squeezing you in.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew brings its own water, power and cleaning solutions, so nothing needs to be set up on your side. Our crew works outside and does not come inside. If the job covers a row of condos or a multi-unit building, we schedule the whole run in one visit so the gutters and glass are done together.
Washing services of this kind run most smoothly when the estimate is done right the first time. Our window cleaning services and gutter work remove the grime and dirt that build up in the gutters and downspouts, and the runoff from a clogged run is the thing we check first. Our crew works to remove dirt from the glass and frames on the same visit, and the sills and screens are included.
Yes. The same two people on our crew clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters never reaches the clean glass.
Of all the frequently asked questions, price comes up most. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text once we have those. There is no figure on this page, because every house is different.
On our Stockton jobs the outside carries most of the grime: the dusty film from the air, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the inside does not remove any of that, so the outside is the part that makes the most difference to how the glass looks.
Most of our Stockton customers book in the spring and the fall, after the spring dust settles and after the leaves come down. Tell us the month you want and we will tell you whether the calendar has room.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Any water and debris from the gutters drains before we touch a pane, and that is the reason we do the order this way.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, and tracks are included on the outside of the house.
Exterior only on this visit. Inside glass is not part of the price, and we do not do pressure washing, so we will not quote for either one.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
