Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing falls on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our Apple Valley customers book this in the spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote from your stories and window count.
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 the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window washing separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. The crew needs more time on multi-story buildings and steep roofs, since both take longer to reach safely. Window count and oversized panes, picture windows included, add time at the glass. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take extra passes. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are billed as part of the visit, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Work on windows inside the house is not part of this price.
On our Apple Valley jobs the quote is set by what we can see from the ground and what the roofline looks like. Some owners book professional window cleaning mainly for curb appeal, and the quote does not change with the reason. To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. A photo of the roofline lets us spot clogged gutters and any water damage before we arrive, so the estimate matches the work. Our window cleaners count every window on the outside of the house before they quote.

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 customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense because both run on the same calendar. Keeping up with regular cleanings on that schedule keeps the grime from setting. At each visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters during the spring pollen season, and a wet leaf load in the fall. On a residential window facing south, the film shows first, and every window on that side tends to look hazy by the next visit. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road each adds grime that returns faster. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and we flag them on the first visit.
You will see when clean windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running through 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.
We book in order: a phone or text estimate from your stories and a photo of the house front, then a date. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the earlier you ask the better your slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew cleans the washing services and window cleaning services a home needs, including the grime and runoff that collect around gutters and downspouts. We remove dirt from the frame, sill and glass in the same pass, and we handle residential properties, from single homes to condos.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again.
The number comes from your stories and window count. Picture windows are counted in that window count, so tell us about them when you text the photo of the house front, and we will give you the figure before anyone is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the outside is where the grime builds up. That holds for residential and commercial buildings alike.
Across California, most of our customers book in spring and fall, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves fall. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the gutters clear between storms.
No. Gutters first, glass last keeps runoff off the panes.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job. Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped with cleaning solutions only where grime needs it, and none of it is billed separately.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so the interior and exterior are never priced as one job. Pressure washing is not part of this service.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
