The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing dripping off the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California we do this work every spring and fall, and most of our California City customers book it in those two seasons.
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 window work 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 cleaning separately. The quote covers exterior glass only, and we do not price interior and exterior glass as one job. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we will not change it on the ladder.
On the day, the crew finds the things that move a quote. A steep roof or a third story means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings are quoted by the stories rule above. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take longer to rinse and dry. Gutters that have not been opened in years come down heavier, packed with needles and leaves. Grime that has built up on the glass between cleanings adds time too. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler hitting the glass will not come off with cleaning alone, and we flag it before quoting the job. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our window washing work runs on the same calendar as the gutters, which is why many customers handle the whole exterior as one order. Regular cleanings keep the glass and the runs from building up between visits, and a crew that already has the ladders up can do the window washing services and the gutters for less than two separate callouts. Our cleaning services are booked as one order, so there is one quote and one invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 for the quote, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will tell you the number before anyone books a date. The phone quote is what you pay.

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 California City customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit is the practical arrangement. In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste sits in the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs right when the rain starts.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts loading between visits. 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 picks up grit faster than the rest. When we see those conditions on the first visit, we say so and put the extra date on the estimate.
You will know windows need it when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running to the downspouts. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of that overflow, and once the gutter is full, water damage to the fascia and soffit usually follows. Cleaning solutions that work on the glass do nothing for the gutters, so the crew brings both.
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 clean residential properties and the occasional commercial building across California City, and we can give you a slot as soon as the estimate is confirmed. Booking starts with a phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house. We will confirm the approximate window count, quote the bundle, and set a date. Lead time is shown on the schedule when you call, and we will call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The busy windows are the two seasons when the trees drop the most, and our calendar fills in those weeks. Booking a month ahead keeps your date. Our crews are professional window cleaners. Professional window cleaning on this visit covers outside glass and gutters only, and we schedule service around the weather and the roof, not around the calendar. Our window cleaning services run the same way for residential and commercial buildings. Every window on the house gets the same rinse, every sill gets wiped, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal. The job finishes with photos sent to you before the crew leaves.
Yes. The crew that cleans your windows also clears your gutters and downspouts in the same visit, and it flushes each downspout as it goes. It is one order with one invoice, whether it is a single house or one of the condos we clean.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before any date is set. We will not guess on the ladder.
On the houses we clean in California City, the outside carries the tree dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up even when the inside looks fine. Rain does not always remove dirt from the glass, so the outside needs a crew. Clean outside glass lets more light in than dirty glass does.
Most of our customers book in spring and in fall, after the spring shedding and after the leaves come down. Across California the spring visits usually land in mid to late June, and fall visits in California City usually land in late November to December.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the gutters go first, the grit and the runoff drain away before anyone touches the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
