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 the dirty water from the gutters never lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an 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 the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number we will charge.
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 window cleaning services and gutter work 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 on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and equipment. A high count of window washing jobs with oversized panes or picture windows takes longer than standard sashes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before the water runs clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem, because no cleaning removes mineral etching from the glass. Our window washing and washing services are priced on those facts, not on a guess from the street. A quote for interior and exterior glass is a separate job, so we only price the exterior on this visit.
On one Downey job the quote moved on the third story and the grime on the picture windows facing the driveway, which needed two passes with purified water. That is the kind of detail we measure before we quote. For an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the stories and the window count. If you want regular cleanings on a set calendar, say so when you call, and we will put the repeat visits in the same written estimate. We will reply with a written estimate.

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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. We match the cleaning solutions to the problem, since pollen film and mineral spotting do not respond to the same mix. In the fall the leaf load builds up, and clogged gutters hold the wet mat that runs down the fascia before winter rain. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and Downey gets about 15.2 inches a year, with the wettest months in January, February and December. A clogged run that overflows during one of those storms is where water damage can start. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we schedule around the weather on the day.
Some houses, including multi-story buildings, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those need a separate look. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than average. Windows inside stay off this visit, so keep them on your own cleaning list. A window and gutter schedule that runs on the same calendar keeps the glass and the water flow working together, and that is the point of booking both at once.
You will know the windows need attention when haze shows up only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain. We check both on every visit and tell you what we found. The timing question is the same for a residential and commercial property, so we ask about the building type before we quote.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Downey, so you deal with one team of window cleaners instead of two. We book the work through cleaning services you can reach by phone or text. To get an estimate or schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories and a rough window count. We reply with a written number, and the crew calls before it comes. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so book early if you want a particular date. We are a professional window cleaning crew that works from a boom or scissor lift on tall houses, and we clean every window on the exterior, the sill included. Gutter and window care is what keeps curb appeal sharp between seasons, and a clean sill shows it. Lead time is in the booking confirmation.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so you book one appointment instead of two.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send us those two facts and a photo of the front of the house, and we reply with the figure.
On houses here, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Exterior cleaning helps remove dirt from every residential window, and that changes how the house looks from the street.
Across California most customers book spring and fall, and that is when our calendar is fullest. Our service covers residential properties in Downey, so book early for either season.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters never reaches panes we have already cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit.
We do exterior window cleaning only on this visit. Interior glass and pressure washing are not part of our service on this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. If you own one of the condos in a complex, check with the building manager before the visit, since the crew needs access to the outside of the windows.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
