Yes, the same two people handle our window cleaning services and the gutters in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners who book this do it in spring and fall, and we work the same way on every house. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, and we will work out the price for every window on the outside of your house.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing services and gutter cleaning services are priced from the same details, and a residential window count moves the figure most. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we work it out from those details before the crew comes out.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes and a high window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more work than a run cleared last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get an exact number, tell us the stories and a rough window count, or text a photo of the front of the house. Across California, a window washing crew works from those same details, and the figure we give is built on them. Before we come, the crew asks for the same details, so nothing changes on the day. Crews on our Bell jobs keep to the price we quoted, and a quote for a condos complex or a building with a lot of glass is worked from the same three things. Our crew cleans the gutters and downspouts first, then the glass, so the runoff from the gutters does not reach the clean windows. Glass that is left on a dirty schedule shows grime faster, and a rinse of the frames is part of the visit. We remove dirt from the frames and sills before the glass is dry, which is why the bundle makes sense for a house with both.
| 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 homeowners book the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and in fall, so one crew in one visit covers both. Most homes do well on two cleanings a year, and regular cleanings keep the gutters clear between the spring and fall visits. The pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main reason for the spring visit, and the leaf load is the reason for the fall visit.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In spring the pollen sits on the glass as a yellow film, and the gutter downspouts hold it as a paste. On a thick film the crew adds mild cleaning solutions to the frames and sills, then rinses them before the glass dries. In fall the leaves come down in a wet mat that blocks the runs. Storm and wind seasons move the exact dates, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters faster than twice a year can handle. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate look. A house near a busy road or construction picks up grime quickly, and so does a house with picture windows that catch the sun all day.
You will know the window needs attention when there is haze you only see when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain.
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 Bell on residential properties, and the order of work is the same for residential and commercial glass. We book the estimate by phone or by text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give the number from those. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo, and we will tell you the first open date when we call back.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. Those are when the calendar fills, so booking early in those months makes a difference. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not enter the house, and the photos come to you before the truck leaves.
Our crews handle window cleaners work for homes with professional window cleaning on the outside, and they also clear clogged gutters and check for water damage at the fascia. Multi-story buildings take the same approach, with the crew working from a boom or scissor lift where the house is too tall for a ladder. Each job keeps the curb appeal of the house in mind, because clean glass and clear gutters are what people see first.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing is splashed onto clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send those details and we will work out the figure for your house.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime sits. A clean inside does not help much if the glass outside is hazy.
Across California, customers book in spring and fall, and that is when our calendar fills. Calling in early for those months gets you the date you want more often.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff does not reach the panes. Doing it the other way round is how the glass gets dirty again before the crew is off the ladder.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included as well, and they are not billed as extras.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing. Interior and exterior glass are two separate parts of a job, and this visit covers the exterior only.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
