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 booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book these cleaning services in spring and fall, and that is the schedule we keep on our own jobs.
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 the approximate window count. Bundling gutters and exterior glass into one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
On the day, the crew finds the things that move a quote: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and 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. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are purified water on the glass, so the window dries without leaving streaks.
Across California, the houses that cost the most to clean are the ones that take the most time to reach, not the ones with the most glass. Multi-story buildings with residential and commercial mixed frontage often need an extra setup. For a building like that, the easiest way to get an exact number is to send us the stories and window count by text along with a photo of the front. Most estimates are sent back the same day. Some cleanings run to a second visit when hard-water spotting needs a separate treatment, and we quote that before anyone touches it. Regular cleanings keep the bill lower over time because the gutters never get heavy enough to overflow onto the glass.

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.
Most of our East Whittier customers book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the schedule. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are planned together. On our jobs, the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters. The fall visit catches the leaf load, and the wind and storm seasons move the dates a little from year to year.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often under heavy tree cover, where the roof is buried in debris, where clogged gutters spill water down the wall, where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, and where a house sits close to a busy road or active construction. Professional window cleaning on these homes is planned around the dirt they actually collect, not a fixed calendar.
You can tell windows need the work when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that haze takes the curb appeal off the whole front of the house. You can tell gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Those are the two signs we look for first when we come out.
Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is when clogged gutters send runoff down the siding and can lead to water damage. East Whittier gets about 13.3 inches of rain a year, with January, February and December the wettest months, so we aim to have the gutters clear before those months.
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 have cleaned homes across the East Whittier area, and we keep a calendar that lets us book window and gutter cleaning around the busy weeks. Booking is simple: you call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we confirm a time once we have the details. The crew calls before it comes, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Each job is planned around the residential properties and the residential window count you give us, from the sill to the upper story, with every window on the house included.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop. If you want to schedule service in one of those periods, reach out early, because our calendar fills first in those weeks.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts first and then the outside of the windows in one visit, so you are not paying for two trips. We do this with our own crew, not a referral.
We give a number over the phone or by text once we know the stories and the approximate window count. That number is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs here, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are the things that make the glass look dull from the street. Grime on the outside also takes the curb appeal off the front of the house. Interior and exterior glass are separate work, and this visit covers only the outside.
Most of our East Whittier customers book in the spring and again in the fall. Booking early in those months helps, because our calendar fills first then. Condos with shared gutter runs are booked the same way, once we know the stories and the window count.
No, the order of work is what prevents it. Gutters first, glass last: the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass waits until the wall stops dripping. Clogged gutters are what send that runoff down the wall in the first place, and clearing them first keeps it off the panes.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped and tracks are included in the visit. None of it is billed as an extra line item.
We do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass and gutters only, so the windows inside stay as they are.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
