Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Fair Oaks Ranch customers book it in spring and fall, when the leaves and the spring film are 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 when you book gutters and windows together in one visit, the bundle costs less than two separate jobs. Window washing and gutter work share one visit, so the washing services are priced once rather than twice. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what the job runs.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. A high count of windows, or oversized picture windows, adds glass to clean. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the water can run, and years of grime on the glass take longer than a light film. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove. Regular cleanings keep each visit lighter than a first job after years of buildup. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Quotes cover the outside only, so interior and exterior glass is priced separately if you want both.
On our Fair Oaks Ranch jobs, the quotes that come in highest are usually the houses with the most glass and the most years of buildup in the gutters. A photo of the front of the house, plus the story count and a rough window count, is enough for us to give you a firm number before we book the crew. There is no need to measure anything yourself, and we do not ask you to clean anything before we arrive. Ask for a written estimate on any of our window cleaning services and we will send it with the breakdown by gutters, glass and story.
| 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.
Across the year, most of our Fair Oaks Ranch customers book gutters and windows together twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. One crew in one visit makes sense on that schedule because the spring film and the leaves hit the same two windows each year. The same schedule suits residential and commercial buildings with similar glass and roofs.
In spring the pollen settles as a film on the south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters and downspout elbows. By fall the leaf load builds up in the gutters, and the wet mat can sag a run under the weight of a rain, which is how clogged gutters start on most houses. We find the same two problems on most houses, which is why those two visits do most of the work. The fall visit matters most on multi-story buildings, where the upper runs are hardest to reach from the ground.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. Left alone, a clogged run can push water behind the fascia and cause water damage, so a third visit costs less than the repair. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up extra dust on the frames. If one of those describes your house, we will tell you on the first visit and set the schedule with you.
Two signs tell you it is time without a calendar. Windows look hazy only when the sun is low in the sky, and gutters start sheeting water over the edge in a steady rain. If you see either, that is the sign to book. The schedule covers the outside of the windows, not the windows inside, and the cleaning solutions are rinsed off before the crew leaves. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date for the crew.
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 cleaning services and crews work across Fair Oaks Ranch, and most of our bookings come from the same handful of streets we return to each season. To set a visit, call us or text a photo of the house front, along with the number of stories. We confirm the date by phone before the crew leaves the yard, so you hear it before the work starts. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. A clean facade does a lot for curb appeal, so many owners book before the spring rush. If you want a slot in either window, ask early, because the schedule builds up quickly once the first calls come in. Outside those windows, we usually have more room to move a date. For a fixed date, ask us to schedule service at the time you want and we will confirm what the crew can hold.
Every window on the outside of the house is part of the visit, including the upper-story glass and the sill under each one. Our crew uses purified water and a pole system, so the work stays on the ground for most of the house. Professional window cleaning is what we do, and we keep it to the exterior so the job stays predictable.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and clean the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not run across windows we just finished.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will return a firm figure with the breakdown.
For most residential windows here, yes. The outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass long before the inside gets dirty. Most residential properties build up the same film. A cleaning is how you remove dirt from the frames and the outside glass, and cleaning the outside alone is a complete job.
Most of our Fair Oaks Ranch customers book in spring and fall, when the spring film and the leaves are heaviest. Booking in those two windows is what keeps the calendar from filling up before you can get a date.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last, so anything the gutters loosen has already run off before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras. Every residential window gets the same screen rinse, and tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside of the house.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on this job, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. If you live in one of the condos, ask the building about the gate, and the same steps apply.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
