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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, and we keep the same crew on the house from the first run of gutter to the last pane of 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window cleaning services are quoted that way, so call (866) 435-6328 with your story count and window count. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear before any water can flow. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Exterior window washing is the bulk of the glass work, and we do the same careful washing on every pane, including the picture windows on the front of the house. On a residential window job the glass is most of the time, so the window count matters more than the length of the gutter run. Interior and exterior glass is not part of this visit, so if you want the inside done, we will tell you when we book.
Across California, the residential properties that cost the most to clean are the ones with a lot of glass and a lot of gutter run, and the houses that cost the least are two stories with simple roofs. The regular cleanings we book on a schedule tend to run lighter than a first cleaning after a long gap, because there is less built-up grime to work through. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with a quote for our washing services before anyone is on a ladder.

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, in mid to late June and again 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 gutter elbows. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and the first wet weather starts pushing it into the downspouts. Clogged gutters are the usual reason a spring or fall visit runs longer, and the cleaning solutions we pick depend on how thick the film is. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates a few weeks in either direction, so we check the roof before we set the day.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings are the usual case, since the ladder work takes longer on every floor. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between visits, and a gutter that stays full can lead to water damage at the fascia board. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up a film of dust that the gutters and the glass both hold on to. The same schedule fits residential and commercial buildings, since the gutter and glass work is the same. We also see a window cleaning and gutter cleaning schedule settle into a rhythm once the first visit has been done.
You will know windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low in the afternoon. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running through the downspout. Both signs show up before any real problem does, which is the point of booking on a regular schedule. Windows inside the house are a separate booking, so the schedule here covers the outside only.
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 work across East San Gabriel with a crew that books one visit for both gutters and glass. Our cleaning services cover the gutters, the roof blow-off and the outside glass, and clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text at (866) 435-6328, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we call before we come. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills faster, so it is worth getting in touch early. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and our crew does not come inside.
Once you schedule service with us, we give you the arrival window and send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. Our professional window cleaning uses purified water that dries clean without streaks, so the glass shows the work on every window, not just the ones facing the street. The rinse is there to remove dirt from the glass and the frames, not to move it around. The two-person crew handles the gutters and downspouts, the roof blow-off, and the exterior glass, so there is one schedule and one invoice to keep track of.
Yes, the same two-person crew does both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so no dirty water runs onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us the number of stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will quote it before anyone comes out.
On our East San Gabriel jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. For a residential window, cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt that rain and sprinklers leave on the glass. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass clear even if the inside looks fine.
Across California, our visits are usually booked in mid to late June and again in late November to December. Tell us what trees and sprinklers you have when you call, and we will work out the timing that suits your roof.
No. We do the gutters first, flush every downspout, let the wall drip off, and only then start on the glass, so nothing runs onto the windows. Runoff from the gutters is the reason the order matters, and the same order applies on condos.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the standard visit, and we will tell you if anything needs more time.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing or interior window cleaning on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if they block the windows, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
