The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Both jobs run in one visit and cost less than booking them as two separate trips. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our crew works the spring and fall cleanings on Coronado homes most of the year, so the job rarely needs a second trip.
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.

On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized 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 sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Coronado job the window and gutter cleaning quote starts with a photo of the front of the house sent by text, plus a count of stories. Call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo and we send the number back. Our crew walks the back run after the front is priced, so the second look rarely changes the number. Cleaning solutions are not billed as a line item; they are part of the visit.
Residential and commercial jobs are priced differently. For a home we quote by house. For a commercial building we quote per building, and recurring cleanings are scheduled on a fixed calendar so the cost is predictable across the year. Regular cleanings keep the gutters from packing and the glass from building a film that takes longer to remove. Interior and exterior glass are priced as separate jobs, so this quote covers the exterior only. Ask for a written estimate before any work starts.
| 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 of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our Coronado jobs the pattern holds: the spring visit clears the seed and pollen season and the fall visit clears the leaf drop before the first wet weather. Spring is when many owners want professional window cleaning for curb appeal. Both visits are booked as cleaning services under one ticket, so the spring and fall dates sit on the calendar together.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutter elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat that matters most, because clogged gutters overflow onto the wall beneath. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we confirm the visit a week ahead rather than holding a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packing between cleanings, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. Those are the cases we flag on the first visit so the schedule fits the house.
For commercial properties, the same logic applies to multi-story buildings: the upper floors take more wind-blown debris, so the schedule is set by the building, not the calendar alone. Flat roofs with internal drains are the cases where water damage starts without a sound, which is why we check them between visits.
The sign that the windows need a cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze also makes the windows inside look dim. The sign that the gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in rain.
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 schedule window and gutter cleaning in Coronado on a rolling calendar, and the wait for a first visit is set by the lead-time figure on our booking page. Booking starts with an estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We confirm the window count from that photo and call before we come.
Our crew covers residential properties and commercial buildings, and the aim on every visit is clean windows and clear gutters with nothing left on the wall. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. Ask us to schedule service around the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, and we will tell you when the calendar fills.
On a residential window and gutter visit we clean every window on the exterior and check the sill and the frame on each one, so the crew does not leave a row of dirty glass behind. We do not promise same-day service; the calendar sets the date.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first. That keeps the dirty runoff off the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure without seeing the front of the house.
On our Coronado jobs the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime lands. This is true for houses and condos alike. Interior cleaning is a separate job and we do not do it on this visit.
Most of our Coronado customers, houses and condos alike, book in the spring and the fall, and that is when our calendar fills. Ask for a date and we will confirm it against the calendar.
Not when the gutters are done first. The leaves and grit come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the crew clears the gutters, flushes the downspouts and waits before touching the glass.
Sills are wiped as part of our washing services. Screens are rinsed on request, and tracks are part of the window job, so they are not billed as extras on a standard visit.
Our window cleaning services cover exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing. The crew wipes the frame and sill to remove dirt before it runs down the glass.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
