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 the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most of the homes we service book the pair in spring and fall, and we bring that same routine to every Canyon Lake job.
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 window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Every quote we write is for residential properties and condos alike, and it is set the same way for both. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two washing services separately, and we say the saving on the quote itself.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count, oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line that no cleaning removes. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are never billed as extras. The quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is a separate conversation, and windows inside the house never appear on this invoice.
Across California, the houses that book the most often are the ones with heavy tree cover, because grime builds faster there and regular cleanings keep it from hardening on the glass. For an exact figure, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. We reply with a quote from those details, and nothing is added at the door.

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, residential and commercial clients usually book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring and fall are the two windows we plan around, and the exact timing follows the seasonal data we have for the region.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In the pollen months the glass picks up a film on south-facing panes, and where purified water alone will not lift it, the crew uses cleaning solutions on that pane only. The gutters fill with pollen paste, so a window and gutter cleaning in spring tends to be the heavier job. The leaf load in the fall visit is different: a wet mat sits in the runs and the downspouts clog, and standing water in the runs is how water damage starts. Runoff from a clogged run is what streaks the wall under it, so the gutters are cleared before the glass is touched. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and we adjust when a heavy rain is on the way.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back between cleanings, a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that return a day later, and a house close to a busy road or active construction collects more dust than average. Multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer, so we plan those as a longer visit rather than a quick one. Those are the houses we talk to about a schedule that fits.
You will see the window need it when there is a haze on the glass that only shows up when the sun is low. The gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is enough to book a visit, and the crew will photograph what it finds before we leave.
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 clean the gutters and exterior windows for homeowners across Canyon Lake, and the fastest way to get on the calendar is a phone or text estimate with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our professional window cleaning covers every residential window we can reach from the ground or a pole, and the goal is to remove dirt from the glass, not just move it around. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall visits, so booking early keeps the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before we come and does not enter the house. The window cleaning services we run here are built around the same order of work every time, so the glass and the gutters are finished in one pass without a second trip. Homeowners who keep their curb appeal in mind often book window cleaners and the gutter crew together for that reason.
We aim to get every window and every run cleared without leaving a sill dusty or a downspout unflushed. If you want to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will confirm a date.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the glass in one visit on residential properties and condos alike, and they always do the gutters first.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text.
On residential window jobs the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so that is where the grime settles first.
Across California, the spring visit window falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and the exact week depends on when the pollen and leaves come down that year.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the runs never reaches the panes we have already cleaned.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so none of it is billed separately.
No. The visit covers exterior glass only, so windows inside the house stay as they are, 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, 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.
