The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. We have done this work on houses across California for years, and most of the customers we serve here book it in the spring and in the fall. Tell us your stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the number on the phone, the same number on the 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit for both gutters and the outside glass costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, whether you book professional window cleaning alone or bundle it with the gutters. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the price. A third story or a steep roof takes longer and needs more setup. Oversized panes and a high count of windows add time to the window washing, and windows inside the house are not part of the price. Gutters that have not been opened in years come out packed with needles and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, so we flag it and quote it separately.
Here is how we get to an exact number. Send us a text with the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we can usually tell you the price before the crew is scheduled. A house with a lot of tree cover over the roof will run more often and has more debris in the gutters, which is worth knowing before you pick a date. Water damage from a gutter that has been overflowing for a season is also something we look for and report, and clogged gutters are the usual reason. Multi-story buildings and homes with a lot of curb appeal to protect tend to be the ones where a bundled visit makes the most sense.
| 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 Vineyard customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit fits the calendar. Across California the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, so regular cleanings follow that calendar, though the timing shifts with the weather. A spring visit in the late part of the season catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the paste that builds up in the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the wet months start.
On our jobs the cleaning services we do most often are the ones that keep a residential window and its gutter line working together. We look for dust on the sill and grime on the lower panes, and we check that the gutters and downspouts are moving water before the rains arrive. Every window gets the same attention, from the top floor down. A runoff path that is blocked will show up as water staining on the wall under the gutter, and that is usually the first sign we see that a visit is overdue.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof brings needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round white spots that come back a day after a cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dirt faster. Our crew can set up a schedule service plan for any of these, and we will tell you after the first visit which of these your house needs.
Watch for two signs. Windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running down 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 window cleaning services run across Vineyard and the neighborhoods around it, and we will tell you on the phone whether we have cleaned on your street before. Booking for our washing services starts with an estimate by phone or by text, or call (866) 435-6328 to get one started. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we can tell you what the job looks like before a slot is taken.
Lead times depend on the season. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when pollen and leaves are heaviest and the calendar fills first. If you want a particular week in those months, it is worth booking early. Outside those windows there is usually room on the schedule.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. Residential and commercial work both get the same attention to the gutters and the glass, and office condos and small multi-unit buildings are on the same schedule. Whatever the building, the goal is the same: we remove dirt from the glass and the gutters, and there are no surprises on the invoice.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and a photo of the front, and we will give you the price before the crew is scheduled.
On our Vineyard jobs the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, and large picture windows show it most. Those build up on the glass whether or not the inside is clean, so the exterior is where the work shows.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Those are the times the pollen and leaves are heaviest, so booking a slot in those months gets you on the schedule before it fills.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. Clearing a run sends the leaves and grit down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and we use water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Tracks are included on the windows we clean, and we will note anything that needs more work on the report.
Some customers ask for interior and exterior glass together, but this visit covers the exterior of the windows only. We do not do the interior glass or pressure washing, so if you need those, tell us and we will point you to the right service.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
