Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you that number before you book.
Across California, our crews book this pairing every spring and fall, and we bring the same order of work to every house in Avocado Heights.
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 residential properties by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A large window count or oversized picture windows take longer on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes, and the runoff they leave behind streaks the glass below. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning alone, and we will tell you when we see it.
Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window cleaning services on the outside of the house are one pass, and the regular cleanings of the glass and the frames are included, so there is no separate charge for the sills. Some customers ask whether that includes interior and exterior glass. This visit covers the exterior only.
Across California, the quotes that come in highest are the ones with the most stories and the most window washing services in one visit. On our Avocado Heights jobs, the fastest way to get an exact number is to text us the front of the house and tell us the stories. Send a photo and we will confirm the count before we book.
| 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, most of our customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit makes that schedule simple.
Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. In late spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load is what clogs the runs, and wind and storm seasons shift the dates a little each year.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters and packed downspouts between cleanings. Multi-story buildings and houses with a lot of glass often need one too. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the average lot.
Windows need the next cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge during rain, because a run that overflows can lead to water damage at the fascia.
We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit. The outside glass gets purified water, and the frames get mild cleaning solutions where grime sits. The same order of work applies to residential and commercial buildings, so the crew does not change its method between jobs.
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 crews run regular window cleaning services across Avocado Heights. We are one of the window cleaners that do the gutters and the glass in one visit. Every visit is booked in advance, and we schedule service for the day you pick, not a drop-in.
To get a number, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We send a written estimate by text and hold the date you pick. In the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, our calendar fills, so booking early keeps the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside. We call before we come, and we send photos of every run and every window before the truck leaves.
Professional window cleaning on the outside of the house protects curb appeal, and every window gets the same pass. If the sill or the frame needs a second look, the crew notes it on the report.
Yes. The same crew cleans the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, in one visit. That order is what keeps the clean glass from getting splashed.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, the way we price all residential properties. Text us the front of the house and the story count, and we will send the figure before we book.
On a residential window, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Those build up on the glass whether or not the inside is clean.
Across California, the spring visit runs mid to late June and the fall visit late November to December, so those are the dates to plan around.
Not when we do it right, because runoff from an uncleared gutter runs straight down the wall. So we clear the gutters, flush the downspouts, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. The goal is to remove dirt from the gutters before it reaches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside. The same exterior pass applies to condos when the glass can be reached from outside.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
No. 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
