Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down the wall onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this in the spring and the fall, when the haze and leaves are heaviest.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-ons appearing later on the invoice.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof, window counts with oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California, the quickest way to get an exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. Every residential window on the house adds time, so the count matters. We use that photo to check the window count and the gutter runs before we give you a figure. Homes with heavy grime on the glass or years of buildup in the gutters take a little longer, and we say so on the phone. The window washing and washing services you need are priced the same way, from the same photo. Our window cleaning services cover the exterior glass on every floor we can reach from the ground or a pole, and the grime on those panes is what the purified water is there to lift, and it does the job without cleaning solutions on the glass. Most homes need regular cleanings only once or twice a year, and we set the schedule with you when we quote. Large picture windows take more time per pane, which is one reason the window count matters so much. Companies that clean interior and exterior glass charge a different amount, but on this visit we only do the outside.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in the spring and the fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for both. In spring, we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall, the leaf load comes down the runs and the wet mat sits in the downspouts until the first hard rain. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks, and we adjust with you.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between cleanings, so the clogged gutters come back faster. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that return a day after cleaning. A gutter that overflows for a whole season can send water damage into the fascia and siding. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more film on the windows. On our jobs, these are the cases where a window and gutter schedule works better at three or four visits a year than at two.
You will see when windows need it: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain. Those are the two signs we look for first at every visit, and they are a fair guide if you want to check between our visits.
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 crew works across the Cathedral City area, and we handle residential and commercial work throughout the city, from houses and condos to multi-story buildings. Booking is simple: you call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the price on the spot. Lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the first open slot when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. Book early if you want a specific day in those months. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when to expect the truck.
We offer cleaning services that fit the way you use the house, and our window cleaners bring the same kit to every job. Our approach is professional window cleaning from the ground or a pole, with no ladders leaned on siding. Good curb appeal starts with clean glass and clear gutters, which is why we do both on one visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text, and we will confirm the day. We clean every window we can reach from outside, and we list any panes we cannot reach before the crew leaves so you know.
Yes, on residential properties the same two-person crew does both. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty runoff never lands on clean windows.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the approximate size of the house. We do not quote a range without seeing the house, and the number we give is the number we charge.
Often yes. The outside of a window carries film, dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits, and the inside cannot clear those. Our purified water is there to remove dirt from the outside panes, so that film comes off in one pass. On our Cathedral City jobs, that outside film is usually what you see first.
Across California, most of our customers book in the spring and in the fall, once the spring haze and the leaves have come down. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will find the first open day in the window you prefer.
Not on our jobs, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Anything that runs off the roof and down the wall is rinsed before the windows are touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, though tracks that need deep work are noted on the estimate.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing of siding, decks or driveways.
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.
