Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so the dirty water never lands on clean glass. We price it 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 our customers book this twice a year, in spring and in fall, and the crew that cleans the roof is the one that cleans the glass.
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.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, so each residential window job is quoted before the crew books a date. Bundling the gutters and the exterior glass into one visit costs less than booking window cleaning services and gutter work separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, a window count that runs high or includes oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of those shows up on the day, so we check them on the phone before we book. Frames with built-up grime get cleaning solutions, and the crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the glass.
Our Chula Vista work is mostly residential, but the same crew handles residential and commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings, so the scope question is simple: tell us what you need cleaned and we tell you what it takes. To get an exact number, send a text with a photo of the front of the house, the number of stories and a rough window count. Call (866) 435-6328 if you would rather talk it through.

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 of our customers book cleaning services for both jobs twice a year. The spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters. Fall brings the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the winter. Atmospheric rivers across California deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and a gutter already clogged with leaves sends runoff down the wall, which is how a storm turns into water damage.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or a house near a busy road or construction all build up faster than the twice-a-year schedule allows. On those jobs we set regular cleanings closer together so the buildup never gets a chance to set.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge during rain. If you see either one, it is time to book, whatever the calendar says.
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 book window and gutter cleaning across Chula Vista, and the first step is the same everywhere. To schedule service, call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date. Lead time is set by the calendar, so ask when the next open slot falls. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gives you more choice.
We schedule every visit around your home. The crew calls before it arrives, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, though you do get to see the photos of every run and every window before the crew leaves. Residential properties and commercial buildings both get professional window cleaning from the same crew. We keep the scope clear: interior and exterior work are separate, and this visit covers the exterior only, so you know exactly which windows are covered and which are not.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and our washing services run in one order. Gutters go first, glass last, so the debris and dirty water come down before anyone touches a window.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Send a text with a photo of the front of the house and we give you a figure before the crew books the date. Call (866) 435-6328 if you want it talked through.
Often yes, because the outside carries the dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Those sit on the glass whether or not the inside is clean, and they are what you see when the sun is low. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, since the windows are what a neighbor sees from the street.
Across California, our customers book the spring visit for mid to late June and the fall visit for late November to December. Booking early gives you more open dates to choose from in those windows.
No. We clean the gutters first, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the water has nowhere to land on clean windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and this applies to condos as well as houses. Tracks are included on the outside of the house. None of these is billed separately.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior of the windows only, and windows inside the house are not part of this service. We do not do pressure washing as part of it either.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
