Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners book us in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are at their heaviest. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we give you the number on the phone. Call (866) 435-6328 today.
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 come under one quote. The bundle, both of our washing services in one visit, costs less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. This quote covers exterior glass only, since we keep interior and exterior work on separate quotes.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that go years between cleanings, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more water. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are part of the job, and so is hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which cleaning removes only partly. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Artesia jobs, a two-story house that gets regular cleanings and has few trees is the simplest case. A house with heavy tree cover and grime from the street takes a longer visit. To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count, and we confirm it before booking. Ask for a written estimate on our window cleaning services and we send it the same day.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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, our spring visit usually lands in mid to late June and our fall visit in late November to December, and one crew covers both in one visit. By then, pollen film has built up on south-facing glass and sticky paste packs the gutters. Frames need cleaning solutions, because water alone will not lift that film. In fall the leaf load and wet leaf mat do the damage, and water sits on the roof through the rain. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so we book around the weather.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, clogged gutters, or a house near a busy road and construction all leave more residue between visits. Work on multi-story buildings takes longer to reach safely, so the crew plans the ladder work first. Sprinkler spots that come back a day after cleaning are a sign of mineral deposits, not dirt, and they need a separate treatment. Screens and frames collect the same dust, so we do them with the glass. Our crew does not handle windows inside the house on this visit.
Watch for two signs that it is time. Haze on the glass that you only see when the sun is low means the windows need the visit. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain means the gutters are full or the slope is wrong, and it can lead to water damage on the wall below. Either way, call or text us a photo and we tell you what it is.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across Artesia, and we schedule service in the order calls come in, so the sooner you reach out, the sooner a slot opens. Booking is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text your stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number and a window for the visit. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Two stretches of the year fill our calendar fastest, the spring months and the fall leaf months. If you want a specific week, book early. Our crew works as professional window cleaning crews do, with purified water and a clean, careful approach to every window, and the result is curb appeal that lasts between visits. We clean every window on the house that can be reached safely from outside, and we note any sill or frame that needs more than a rinse.
We serve residential properties, and our residential and commercial clients include homeowners and property managers who want cleaning services that handle both jobs without a second trip. Ask for the estimate and we send it in writing.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they work gutters first, glass last so dirty water does not run across clean glass.
We give a number on the phone or by text, based on stories, size and what is in the gutters. Quotes for condos follow the same method: stories, window count and gutter condition. We do not quote a figure without seeing the house.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window collects grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots between visits, and a visit is how we remove dirt from the glass and frames. The inside glass is a separate job and we do not do it on this visit.
Most of our Artesia customers book in spring, once the season's film peaks, and again in fall, after the leaves drop. Across California, the spring visit usually lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December.
No. We clear gutters and downspouts first, flush the downspouts, let the wall drip off, and only then clean the glass, so runoff from the roof never reaches the panes we have finished.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the visit. We do not bill them as extras.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
