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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Most of our Valinda customers book the bundle in the spring and fall. Tell us your stories and window count, and we will give you 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.
We price window washing and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Our washing services cost less booked as one visit than as two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Ask for your number by phone or text, with your story count and a photo of the front of the house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window counts that include oversized panes like picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew does exterior window cleaning only on this visit, and each residential window gets the same exterior pass as the rest of the house. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing on this visit. If you were hoping for interior and exterior glass in one booking, tell us when you call and we will say what we can and cannot do. Ask us for a written estimate once we have the stories and window count, and we will break it down for you line by line.
Prices for window cleaning services in Valinda follow the same logic as other exterior cleaning services in the area: the house, the access and the amount of glass decide the figure. Regular cleanings keep the grime from building up, so each visit has less to remove dirt from and the job stays a single pass instead of a long one. Once the crew has seen the house, we can tell you whether a regular schedule saves you money over booking one-off visits.

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 we see most customers book both jobs twice a year, one in spring and one in fall. Across California the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and that is the calendar we work from in Valinda too. One crew in one visit fits that calendar.
In the spring visit we find a film of pollen on the south-facing glass and a layer of grit in the gutters. In the fall visit we find the wet leaf mat that the storms leave behind, and the wettest months here are January, February and December, when the runoff finds any clogged gutters first. Clogged gutters that sheet water over the edge can lead to water damage on the fascia and siding. Atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days across the state, so a storm season can move the dates. The crew rinses the glass with purified water rather than heavy cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to streak.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that when heavy tree cover hangs over the roof, when a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves the spots that come back a day later, or when the house sits near a busy road or a construction site. Multi-story buildings and houses with a lot of glass are the ones where a third visit is worth discussing on the first call. Those houses usually land on a three or four month rhythm, because the grit and needles pack the downspouts between visits.
Windows need a cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low. Gutters and downspouts need a cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain. If you see either, call us and we will schedule a 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 crew works residential properties in Valinda and nearby cities, so most of our window cleaners are on the road within the same area each week. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, along with your story count, and we will confirm a date. The number of stories tells us which lift is needed, and multi-story buildings usually take a boom lift, while the photo tells us how much glass we are looking at.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring visit season and the fall leaf season, so book early if you can. Glass spotting from sprinklers shows up on residential and commercial buildings alike, so tell us about any sprinkler line that hits the glass when you call. Lead times vary, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Professional window cleaning from a crew that works the same streets all year keeps the curb appeal of the house steady, and it lets us reach every window and the sill on each visit. Our goal is to schedule service that fits your house, not to fill a slot.
Yes. Our crew clears the gutters and downspouts first and does the glass last, in one visit. The same two people clean the gutters and then the outside of your windows, so there is one visit and one invoice.
We give the number from the stories and the approximate window count, for houses and condos alike. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote you by phone or text. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots here. The inside does not carry those, so an outside cleaning is the part that changes what you see through the glass.
Across California, most customers book the spring visit for mid to late June and the fall visit for late November to December. Those are the months we see the leaf load and the spring grit most.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the gutters come down, the grit and the black water run down the wall, so the glass has to wait until the runs are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped and tracks get cleaned as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras on the invoice.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
