Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners who book this do it in the spring and fall, and that is when our crew does the most visits.
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. Done together in one visit, the bundle costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Gutters and downspouts are cleared first, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras. The residential and commercial jobs we run follow the same method, but the picture windows on a large house take longer than standard panes, and the regular cleanings we schedule keep that time from building up.
Our crew finds that most of the cost comes from the access, not the glass itself. Purified water does most of the work on the glass, and cleaning solutions come out only for spots water cannot lift. Interior and exterior work is not part of this visit, so the quote covers only what is outside, and our washing services stay on the exterior. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a rough window count, or text us a photo of the front of the house, and that is enough for us to give you an exact number before we arrive.

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 both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs, the spring visit comes after the pollen season, when the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are at their heaviest. The fall visit clears the leaf load before the rain starts.
Storm and wind seasons move those dates, so the window cleaners on our crew confirm the visit with you a few days ahead. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road will often need a third visit, because the spots and grime come back faster than the calendar does. A window that looks clean from the street can still show haze when the sun is low, and that is the sign the glass needs a visit. Gutters that sheet water over the edge in rain, with runoff hitting the wall below, are the clearest sign they need cleaning.
Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule is what keeps curb appeal steady, because a single visit a year lets the grime build back up. Water damage often starts where clogged gutters overflow onto the wall below, which is why we clear them before the glass. Multi-story buildings and homes with a lot of glass benefit most from a fixed schedule, since the access takes longer and the crew can plan for it.
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.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the number and the earliest date we can come. Lead time is set by our calendar, and the busiest stretches fall in the spring and fall windows when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the high ones reached by pole and the sill under each one. Purified water from the pole is how we remove dirt without leaving streaks. We work on residential properties across the city, condos included, and can handle window and gutter cleaning for any home with a residential window layout, from a single-story bungalow to a larger house with clean windows across several floors. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the visit date in writing.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not end up on clean glass.
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.
The outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dull from the street even when the inside is clean.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and fall, and we can check the calendar for the month you have in mind.
No, because we clear the gutters first and wait for the wall to dry before we touch the glass, so the runoff from the roof never reaches the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras.
Our washing services cover the outside of the glass only, so cleaning the windows inside is not part of this visit, and we do not pressure wash.
You do not need to be home. Turn the 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.
