Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of the houses we clean get a spring and fall visit, and we keep the same order on every one. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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 washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate washing services. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We do not quote a price from a general range; the figure comes from your stories and your glass, and we confirm it before the crew is scheduled.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means the ladder work takes longer. A high count of windows, or oversized picture windows that need a longer reach, adds time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with leaves and seed debris from nearby trees, take more hours than a light run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers that hit the glass is a separate problem that cleaning does not remove, and we will tell you so on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California, the houses that cost the most to clean are the ones that have not had professional cleaning services in a while, so the first visit is often the longest one. If you can send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, we can give you an exact number before anyone climbs a ladder. Booking regular cleanings keeps each visit shorter, which is the main reason our repeat customers stay on one. Ask us for a written estimate of our window cleaning services if you want the scope in writing before you book.

| 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 we clean book gutters and exterior glass twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew handles both in a single visit. On the glass, spring brings a pollen film on south-facing windows and a pollen paste that packs the gutter elbows. Pollen film comes off with purified water, and the frames take cleaning solutions where grime has built up, because a rinse alone will not remove dirt from a frame. In fall the leaf load builds up and wet leaves sit in the runs for weeks, and clogged gutters can lead to water damage at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates for residential and commercial buildings alike, so we look at what the house has been through since the last visit rather than just the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the year, and 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 also picks up more grime between visits. Multi-story buildings and homes with high gutter runs take more ladder time, so they are quoted with that in mind. On the other side, a home with few or no trees and no sprinkler spotting usually does fine on a once-a-year visit in late fall. On the house itself, interior and exterior glass pick up different kinds of dirt, and the windows inside collect far less of the outdoor grime, so the outside is the glass on the spring and fall schedule.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when runoff sheets over the edge during rain instead of running out the downspouts. Both signs are worth acting on before the next season, and a text with a photo of either one is enough for us to tell you whether it needs a visit.
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 provide cleaning services across Castaic, and we work with residential properties where the owner wants the gutters and the outside of the glass done properly, with the same two people on the job. Homeowners often hire separate window cleaners and gutter crews, but professional window cleaning and gutter work done together means one visit and one bill. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we confirm the window count and the time slot. Our lead time depends on how full the calendar is, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Clean glass and clear gutters add curb appeal before the first rain.
Two windows of the year fill the calendar faster than the rest. In spring, after the pollen starts, and in late fall, when the leaves come down, most of our bookings cluster into a few weeks. If you can book outside those windows, the earlier date is usually easier to get. For these visits, our crew calls before we come, so you know the arrival window and can plan around it. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but a call first is part of the schedule. Every window and every run is photographed before the crew leaves.
Yes, and it is the same crew on every window job. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then the glass, so the water coming off the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a figure by phone or text before we book.
Usually yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. The outside is where most of the grime sits, so that is the glass we schedule.
Across California, most homeowners book in spring and in fall. Ask us for the first open date, since those months fill quickly. If your home is one of the condos on a shared roofline, tell us so we can quote the gutter run you actually have.
No. Gutters are cleared first and every downspout is flushed before we touch the windows, so anything that falls lands before the glass is washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside, and dried dirt on a frame has to be worked loose before a rinse does any good.
No. This visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean the inside or pressure wash the siding on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
