Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls off the roof lands on clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Spring and fall are when most of our customers book, and that is when we are busiest across California.
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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Our window cleaning services are quoted for the exterior of each residential window we reach, and we do not bundle the interior and exterior into one price. Pricing for a standard house starts at a fixed minimum, and the final figure depends on what the crew finds when it sets up.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A large window count, or oversized picture windows packed with grime, means more glass per visit. A run of clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years takes longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, and regular cleanings will not remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For a fast, accurate number, send us the number of stories, a rough count of windows, and a photo of the front of the house by text. Most of our El Centro customers tell us the photo is the fastest way to get an exact figure, and that the number holds on the day. Our crew has seen houses where the window washing services and gutter work together came in lower than two separate visits, and we price that bundle openly so you know what you are paying for.
| 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.
On our El Centro jobs, most of our customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes. Across California, the spring visit comes in mid to late June, when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs the downspout elbows. Across California, the fall visit comes in late November to December, when the leaf load comes down. El Centro averages about 2.5 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are January, February and December, so wet mat that sits in clogged gutters over the winter is the main concern.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In spring, a dull haze shows on south-facing windows, and the sticky paste is what clogs the gutters. In the fall, the leaf mat is the problem. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, but the twice-a-year rhythm holds for most homes, because clogged gutters left too long can lead to water damage at the fascia.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps gutters and downspouts packed between cycles. 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 more grit, and it takes extra passes to remove dirt from the glass than on a quiet street. On residential and commercial buildings with heavy tree cover or multi-story buildings, the gutters often need more frequent attention, and we set the schedule with you rather than guessing.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set a date.
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 on residential properties across El Centro, including condos, and we book one visit for both where the house allows it. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We will give you a time window and a firm number to work from. We rely on purified water, not cleaning solutions, on the glass.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills fast in both. Booking early in those windows gets you the date you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us.
We do professional window cleaning services and gutter cleaning for homeowners and property managers, and we keep your curb appeal in step with the seasons. If you have a particular schedule in mind, ask us to schedule service around it, and we will work with you to cover every window and every gutter run on the house.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the roof never lands on windows we have just cleaned.
The price depends on the number of stories and the residential window count, and we give you the number by phone or text before we book. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the house front to get your number.
For most El Centro homes, yes. The outside collects grime over the year, from the spring haze to the rain dust after winter storms and the sprinkler spots that build up over time. Those are the things that dull the glass, and they do not come off by cleaning the windows inside.
Across California, the spring visit comes in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and most of our customers book both. Those are the windows when the leaves are heaviest, so booking then keeps your regular cleanings on schedule.
Not with our order of work. Clogged gutters are the main source of runoff, so we clear the roof, the gutters and the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps the runoff off the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and downspout flushing is included too. Tracks on the exterior side are included, and we remove dirt from them during the visit. None of these is billed as an extra.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior of the windows only, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want the inside of the glass done, ask us about it separately and we will tell you what we can offer.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked and we take it from there.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
