Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We always do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof ends up on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Across California, most of the homes we clean get the gutters and glass done together in spring and fall, when leaves and grime build up the most.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window washing as two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and professional window cleaning plus clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, both inside that one number.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Steep roofs and multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder. Each large picture window adds time, and a long run of windows adds more. Every window on the outside gets checked before the quote is final. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down packed with needles and leaves, and clogged gutters take more passes to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line sits in the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a residential window job, the count of windows and stories is what we price from. On our Bonita jobs, the cases that cost more are usually the ones where water damage has already started, because the crew has to check the fascia behind a run before it can be cleared. For an exact number, call (866) 435-6328, text us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, or book a date, and we will give you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder.

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.
Most of our Bonita customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Across California, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Each visit finds something different. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, and in fall the leaf load comes down the wall and into the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the calendar with you before we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between regular cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames. We look at these when we do the first visit and tell you which schedule your house needs. Residential properties with that exposure get the extra visit written into the plan, so every window gets the same pass. When you book, ask us to schedule service for that visit at the same time.
Bonita gets about 11 inches of rain a year, and January, February and December are its wettest months. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, and windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. If either sign shows up between visits, call us and we will look at 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.
We have cleaned gutters and exterior glass across Bonita, and the jobs cover single-story ranch houses, two-story homes and the townhouse and condos where the gutters and downspouts drain onto shared walkways. Our window cleaning services and gutter work start with an estimate by phone or text: send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a visit date. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall leaf seasons, when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months if you want to schedule service on a specific day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is pulling up, and the crew does not come inside the house. Our washing services are built around one order of work: clean windows and clear gutters, with the crew working to remove dirt from the roof before it reaches the glass. That keeps the grime and the runoff off the glass we have just washed. Residential properties get the same order on every visit, townhouse or single house.
Yes, and it is the same two people. Our cleaning services for gutters and glass run in one visit, gutters first and the glass last, so you get one invoice and nobody needs to come back out.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Text us those and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before the visit. Quotes for residential and commercial jobs are separate, so this figure is for houses.
On the houses we clean in Bonita, the outside carries the dust, the rain film and the sprinkler spots, and that is what the glass looks like from the street. The inside can stay as is, and the outside still needs its own visit.
Most of our Bonita customers book in spring and in fall, when the leaves and grime are at their heaviest, and regular cleanings in those two seasons are the pattern they settle on. Calling early in those months is the surest way to get the day you want.
Not on our jobs. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so anything that comes off the roof is already gone before the glass is washed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frames are cleaned as part of the job, so they are not billed as extras. The glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and picture windows are reached from the pole in the same pass. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not do the windows inside or pressure washing on it, and planning for interior and exterior work is always separate, so tell us when you book if you need either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
