Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it 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 bundle in spring and fall, and that calendar is what we plan the crew around.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Interior and exterior glass are priced apart, and the price we quote for the outside does not change once we arrive.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or large picture windows, changes the glass work. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any water can run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned, and sprinkler hard-water spotting on the glass needs a separate treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services, and the cleaning solutions for frames are included in the price rather than billed as extras.
For most homes the fastest way to get the exact number is a text with the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. Our customers often find that a photo of the roofline is enough for us to tell them which extra steps apply. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, while a first visit after a long gap can take longer because of the buildup in the runs and on the frames. Residential and commercial buildings get the same professional window cleaning and are priced on the same logic, by the number of stories and the window count, and we do not quote a figure before we know those two things.
| 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 both gutters and exterior glass twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew handles both in a single visit. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. The fall visit catches the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs once the trees drop, plus the dark runoff that streaks the wall below.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, and multi-story buildings often need a third visit. Those are the cases where window cleaners see spots come back a day after the job, and where clogged gutters fill again before the next scheduled date. A house on a busy road or near construction can also collect enough grime to hurt its curb appeal, and that can justify a third trip.
The sign windows need a cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low, and the windows inside the house may need their own schedule. The sign gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which is the first step toward water damage on the fascia.
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 handle window and gutter cleaning for residential window customers across Dana Point, and our crew has worked through a range of residential properties in the area. Booking starts with a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, so we can count every window ahead of time. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Lead times depend on the calendar, and the busiest stretches are the two windows of the year when pollen and leaves are heaviest. When our calendar fills, we keep a waitlist and give you a date as soon as one opens. For clean windows and a clear run of gutters, we suggest you schedule service before those windows arrive. Text a photo of the roofline, or call (866) 435-6328, and ask for a date that fits the rest of your year.
Yes. Our crew does both on every visit, with gutters and downspouts done first and glass last, so the runs are cleared before anyone touches the windows.
The number comes from the number of stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a figure before we know those two things.
On our jobs in Dana Point, condos included, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that never reach the inside, so the glass often looks dull even when the inside is clean.
Across California, most of our customers book in spring and in fall, and we plan the crew around those two visits. Call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a date that fits your schedule.
No. Gutters go first, glass last, so we remove dirt from the runs before any window is touched, because the leaves, grit and black water coming off a run will run down the wall and across any window below it if the glass was washed first.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, so you do not get a separate bill for them.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and we do not clean inside or pressure wash.
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.
