Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied twice. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew has been doing this work in Caldwell for spring and fall visits, when most of our customers book it. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and we will give you the number on that call.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We build it from the number of stories and an approximate count of windows, and when you book the gutters and the outside of the windows together, one visit replaces two separate trips, which is why the bundle comes in lower than the two jobs booked apart. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are steep roofs and a third story, a window count that includes 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, which a cleaning will not remove. Each one changes how long the crew is on the ladder, so we ask about them before we give the number.
The window and gutter work on one Caldwell house usually comes down to the same few questions: how many stories, how many windows, whether the gutters have a guard, and what has been sitting in them. A photo of the front of the house, sent by text, answers most of that before we arrive. For a real example from our Caldwell work, we cannot quote a figure here, but the crew will walk you through the same checklist on your house. Pollen on the glass and in the runs is one of the things we see most in the spring, and it is part of what we check before we give you the number. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the gutter finish, not for speed.
Our professional window cleaning follows the same logic on residential and commercial buildings, and the scope of a job is always set by the number of stories and windows on the building in front of us. For picture windows, which take longer to reach and to rinse, we count each pane separately when we give the estimate. Cleaning windows inside the house is a separate booking. The interior and exterior windows are not the same job, and on this visit we only do the outside. Regular cleanings keep the price down over time, because the glass and the runs carry less to haul away on each visit.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Caldwell jobs, most customers book both twice a year, once in late spring and once in the fall, and that schedule is what makes one crew and one visit sensible for the two jobs.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and sticky tree sap packs the gutters and the downspout elbows. In the fall it is the leaf load that matters, and the wet mat of leaves that sits in the runs through the first hard freeze. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we confirm the visit a few days before the crew comes out.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up grit faster than the average. We see the same pattern in our cleaning services across the valley, and the frequency follows what the house is actually carrying.
A window cleaner who only comes out once a year will still leave haze on the glass that you only notice when the sun is low, and that is the sign the windows need attention, which also drags down curb appeal. Gutters that need it show runoff sheeting over the edge during rain, not dripping through the seam, and that is the point where clogged gutters start to affect the fascia and the walls underneath. Most of the water damage we see on Caldwell houses starts with a run that nobody checked for a season.
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.
Booking a window and gutter cleaning with us starts with a phone call or a text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we give you the number on that call. Once you confirm, we book a date, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and the leaves are at their worst.
We call before we come, and we tell you the arrival window the day before. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. We work across the residential properties and the commercial buildings we cover, and the process is the same for a residential window job on a single-story bungalow and for multi-story buildings, with the crew doing the roof, the gutters and every window on the outside.
If you want clean windows on every side of the house, we will do every window we can reach from the ground or from the ladder, and we will tell you about any sill we cannot reach safely. The same goes for any window above a roof we cannot walk. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text, and the crew will confirm the date and the lead time that applies to your part of town.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and the outside of the windows, and the same two people do both in one visit, gutters first. The glass goes last so that the water and grit from the runs do not run back across it.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not put a figure on this page because every house carries a different load.
Yes, because the outside carries the spring film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and that grime is what our window cleaning services remove. The inside gets dirty from different things, and that is a separate job we do not do on this visit.
Most of our Caldwell customers book in the spring and in the fall, which is when blossom and then falling leaves build up on the glass and in the runs. Book the visit a few weeks ahead of those months if you want an early slot.
No, because we clean the gutters first and then the glass, so nothing from the runs drips back onto the windows. Doing it in the other order is how a window ends up with a second wash. The same order applies on condos too, where the runs and the glass often sit close together.
Screens and sills are part of the job, and we wipe them as we go. Tracks are cleaned on the same visit when we can reach them. Nothing is billed separately for those.
We clean the outside of the glass on this visit only, and we do not do interior window cleaning or pressure washing here. If you want the inside done to remove dirt from the glass there, tell us and we will tell you when we can fit it in.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. 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.
