The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work on houses across California, and most of our customers book it in the spring and fall.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking window and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate.
Several things move the quote on our jobs. A third story or a steep roof changes how long the crew needs on the ladder. Large glass, such as picture windows, adds time, and so does a high window count. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more clearing. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run is cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment, because no cleaning removes it. Cleaning solutions for frames and sills are part of the price, and so are downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, none of which is billed as an extra.
On the calls we take, the question is usually how much goes into the bundle. Gutter cleaning keeps water away from the glass, and the rinse that follows keeps the new dirt from settling back on it. If you are not sure how many stories or windows you have, send us a photo of the front of the house and we will count them with you before we book a date. If you have had regular cleanings with us before, tell us on the call so we can check the count against the last visit. Ask about residential and commercial jobs when you call, and we will say straight away whether the building is in scope. We quote interior and exterior glass separately, and this visit covers exterior glass only.

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, most of our customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, and the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June. In Windsor the fall visit lands in late November to December, which is also when the wettest months start. Hiring professional window cleaning in spring and fall is the simplest way to keep up with the pollen and leaves. Pollen gets onto south-facing glass and packs into gutter elbows each spring. Leaves drop in fall and stay wet in the runs, and that is when we see the most clogged gutters and water damage at the fascia.
Heavy tree cover over the roof usually means a third visit, and multi-story buildings need the crew on a taller ladder or a longer pole, so those visits run longer. Needles and grit collect in the downspouts between cleanings, so the runs fill again faster than on a house with an open lot. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the round spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need more frequent attention. A home near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills, so the runoff on the glass is heavier by the next visit.
You will know windows need cleaning when haze shows up only in low sun. Haze that sits on the inside of the glass is not an exterior cleaning problem, because windows inside are a separate job. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, especially on the street side of the house. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. If either happens between visits, call (866) 435-6328 and we will schedule a visit. Many window cleaners only do the glass, so bundling the gutters with the windows saves a second trip. Booking cleaning services for gutters and glass in one visit is the main reason the bundle exists.
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 residential properties across Windsor, from single-story homes to multi-story houses, and we handle window and gutter cleaning on the same visit. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We give you a written estimate, and you get a date once the estimate is accepted. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we arrive.
Spring and fall are the busy windows, when our calendar fills earliest. Book early in those months to get the slot you want. Our crew works with the residential window and sill on every house, so you will not be left with a single missed frame. The crew checks the frame and sill before it moves on, because clean windows start with a dry frame. We schedule service around the weather, and we will clean every window on the exterior elevation we can reach safely.
Yes. The crew clears the gutters and downspouts first, then does the exterior windows on the same visit, and the quote covers both.
It does. A cleared gutter sends water down the downspout instead of over the edge, so the runoff carries less grime onto the panes below. The crew can remove dirt from the frames and sills in a few minutes when the runoff is light.
Call (866) 435-6328 first. If the exterior glass or gutters belong to a building association, check its rules before you book, and we will tell you on the call whether the job is ours to take.
Call (866) 435-6328, text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, or book a date once you have the written estimate. Interior glass is quoted separately, and this visit covers exterior glass only.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
