Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back down onto 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 our customers book this service in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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 an 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, and we quote residential window jobs by story count before the crew is booked. For a quote, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Several things move the quote once our crew is on site. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized panes such as picture windows and a high window count add to the window washing services side of the work. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles or leaves take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers will not come off with cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and cleaning solutions go only on the frames and sills where the grime sits.
Across California, the quotes we give most often for residential properties come down to how many stories the house has and what has been building up in the gutters. Our Citrus crews see the same pattern: a clean gutter run and clean glass are done in one pass, and the runoff stays off the windows. Dirt that has been left on the frame for a season adds time to remove dirt from the sills and tracks. To get the exact figure, count the stories, estimate how many windows face the street, and send a photo of the front of the house by text. We will call you back with the price before we schedule anything.

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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall. Our Citrus customers do the same, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for regular cleanings.
In spring, a fine film builds up on south-facing glass and seed fluff collects in the gutter elbows. That film looks like haze until you see it in the low sun. In fall, the leaf load is the main problem: wet leaves pack the gutters and back water up under the shingles. Storms and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we move the visit when the weather does. Clean glass and clear gutters also help keep curb appeal up between visits.
Some homes need more cleanings than the twice-a-year plan. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves mineral spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets dust on the sills faster than most. If one of these describes your house, plan for a third visit, or talk it over on the phone before the first one.
We only mention a neighbor's schedule when we have one of their jobs on file, so you will not see made-up examples here. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, not running down the downspout.
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 run window cleaners and gutter crews from the Citrus office, and our window cleaning services are booked by phone or text. To schedule service, tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a date. Lead time varies with the season, and the spring and fall weeks fill first. For anyone who wants professional window cleaning on a fixed schedule, the same crew comes back on the same calendar each visit.
Our Citrus customers include owners of residential and commercial properties, from single-family homes and condos to small multi-story buildings, and the gutter work on those buildings is the part most likely to show water damage if it gets skipped. Clogged gutters are the usual cause, and they usually show up first on the corners of the house. The windows on those buildings carry the same grime as the rest of the exterior, so our cleaning services include the outside of every pane in the same visit.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we text photos of each gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. If the date does not work, call (866) 435-6328 and we will move it. We do not do interior glass on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing, so the windows inside stay as they are.
Yes. Our crew does both, and the gutters are done first so the glass stays clean. One crew and one visit keeps the window and gutter cleaning on the same schedule.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, plus every window on the outside, and we quote it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 with the story count and a photo of the front.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Those build up on clean windows between visits even when the inside looks fine.
Across California most customers book in spring and fall. Our Citrus customers do the same, and we tell you the exact weeks when you call.
Not if the gutters are done first. When the gutters are cleared before the windows, the leaves and black water do not run down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks with heavy buildup are handled on the visit and quoted before we start.
We do exterior only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and we do not clean the windows inside on this one. We also do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
