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 the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew books this pairing most in the spring and fall, when the seed and leaf load are at their heaviest.
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 window washing and gutter cleaning booked in one visit cost less than booking the two jobs separately. Our washing services come with one number, 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 tell you the figure before anything is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means a boom or scissor lift and more time on the glass. Window count matters, and oversized panes take longer than standard sashes. Every reachable pane gets cleaned, so the count covers every window on the house that can be reached safely. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more flushing. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is another matter entirely: cleaning does not remove it, so we flag it on the visit rather than charge for work that will not solve it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and none of them is billed as an extra.
Here is what a Claremont job looks like in practice. Our crew cleans the roof edge clear, flushes every downspout until it runs clear, and only then starts on the glass, so runoff from the gutters never lands on clean panes. Grime builds on the picture windows and the sills faster than most people expect, and once the film sets it takes more than a rinse to remove dirt. Gutters and downspouts that were cleaned at the same visit tend to stay clear through the next rain, which is the real test of the work. Some window cleaners price by the pane, but on our Claremont jobs the quote is built from the stories and the window count, a photo of the house front, and how long the gutters have gone without attention. The same is true of condos and other multi-unit buildings, where the window count is the largest single driver. If the number comes out higher than you expected, we will show you where it comes from before the crew leaves.

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 Claremont customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Here is what we find at each visit. In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and spring grit packs the gutters, and on the windows it shows up as a faint yellow haze. In the fall, the leaf load comes down in a wet mat that blocks the downspouts, and that is when most of the sagging we see in early winter starts.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the year, and sprinkler lines that hit the glass leave the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than one on a quiet street. When we see these, we say so and suggest the schedule that fits, so regular cleanings stay manageable without a visit you do not need.
On the glass, the sign that windows need attention is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. On the gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If either shows up between visits, text us a photo and we will tell you which one it is. Our crew uses cleaning solutions on frames and sills and purified water on the glass at every 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 across Claremont on residential properties and books the way most customers prefer, by phone or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate you can plan around. Lead time is listed on the booking page and changes with the season, so the date you see is the one we can keep. The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall seed and leaf seasons, when our calendar fills first, so calling early is the surest way to the date you want.
We clean residential and commercial properties, from a single-family home with a modest residential window count to multi-story buildings and small commercial sites. Our cleaning services cover both the exterior glass and the gutters, and it is the same two people on the ladder for both. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when to expect us, and we send photos of the finished job.
Cleaning on schedule matters because the damage from neglect is slow and expensive. Clogged gutters overflow onto siding and foundations, and that leads to water damage that a single cleaning would have prevented. Clean windows and clear gutters protect the look of the house and the lifespan of the materials around them, which is the kind of curb appeal most owners notice only after it is gone. Our crew works with professional window cleaning methods and purified water, so the glass dries without streaks and the work holds between visits.
Yes, and yes. Our crew does both jobs in one visit, so you book one appointment instead of two. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff never reaches clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you the figure before anything is scheduled.
Usually yes on a typical residential window. The outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are what dull the glass from the outside in. Interior glass is not part of this visit.
Most of our Claremont customers book in the spring and in the fall, after the seed drops and before the leaves come down. Booking early in those windows is the surest way to get the date you want.
No. Gutters go first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the gutters drains down the wall before anyone touches the windows. The roof is cleared, the downspouts are flushed, and only then does the crew start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included in the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
We do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass and gutters only, so this is not an interior and exterior package, and you know exactly what is covered before the crew arrives.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
