Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Spring and fall are when most of our crew's bookings come in, and the jobs are scheduled around them. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will confirm a day.
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 exterior window and gutter work by the number of stories and an approximate window count. Our washing services are bundled, so window washing and gutter cleaning in one visit cost less than booking window cleaning services separately, and 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, oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts get the same full pass on every house, and the grime and runoff at the sill are wiped as part of that visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Susanville jobs the quote that surprises people most is the one for a house with a lot of glass under heavy trees, since the gutters and the pane edges both carry the grime. Sometimes one pass is enough to remove dirt from the glass, and sometimes the spotting needs a separate treatment. The fastest way to get an exact number is to text a photo of the front of the house, count the stories, and tell us roughly how many windows face the street. Quotes for condos work the same way, by stories and glass, and we come back with a figure before anyone books.
| 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 Susanville customers book two cleanings a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky residue packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load, which settles in wet and stays until we clear it. Residential and commercial glass both follow this schedule, and our cleaning solutions are matched to the glass and the season.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a lot near a busy road tend to need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and they are the first thing we flag on a return trip. Picture windows on a sprinkler side show it first, since there is so much glass to see it on.
The sign that windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Both are easy to spot from the driveway, and both mean it is time to book. Regular cleanings keep that from starting. Interior and exterior glass run on separate schedules, and this visit covers the exterior only.
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 provides cleaning services across Susanville, and we book by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot with you before we come. Plenty of homeowners want window cleaners who also do the gutters, which is why we book both. We call before we arrive, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when the leaf loads are heaviest and our calendar fills first. Book early in those months and you get your preferred day. Outside those windows the lead time is shorter, and professional window cleaning fits around the rest of the calendar.
We clean residential properties and the occasional commercial building, and the exterior work is the same on each. Multi-story buildings get the same exterior work, priced by stories. A house with clogged gutters and a dirty front window is the typical booking, and the bundle covers both in one visit. Clogged gutters are a common route to water damage at the eaves, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. We clean the exterior only, so windows inside stay as they are.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows.
On residential properties the number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text before any work is booked. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we do not quote a figure without seeing the house.
On our jobs the outside carries pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting, so the glass often looks worse outside than in. We clean the outside of every window on the house, and a residential window facing the street shows the buildup most.
Most of our customers book in spring, once the dust peaks, and again in fall after the leaves drop. Those are the months our calendar fills first.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall dry, and only then clean the glass. Doing it the other way round means washing the windows twice.
Screens are rinsed and each sill is wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same visit, and none of this is billed as a separate extra.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only. We do not clean interior glass or pressure wash siding here, so those are separate jobs we would arrange on request.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
