Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so you end up with clean windows and no second trip. 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 it for the spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we 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.
Our professional window cleaning is priced 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. The glass gets purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large window count with oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles, leaves and pollen, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes the time on the ladder, so each shows up in the quote before we start.
On our El Segundo jobs the quote comes from three things: stories, rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. A photo tells us more about roofline and access than a description does. Send it when you call at (866) 435-6328, and we will give you a written estimate before a date is set.
| 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 Segundo jobs most customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Across California, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, after the leaves drop.
At each visit we look for specific things. In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and sap packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs. Wind and storm seasons move these dates, so we adjust the booking when a heavy wind is forecast.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the average lot, and so do the multi-story buildings on the same street.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in rain, which often means clogged gutters and, if left alone, water damage at the fascia. Watch for either one and call us. Clean glass and clear gutters also keep the curb appeal of the house up between visits.
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 cleaning services reach El Segundo and the surrounding areas, and this page covers residential properties. For residential and commercial work, call first, and we will tell you what the crew can take on. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your rough story count, and we will reply with a written estimate. The estimate sets a date, and lead time depends on the season, so ask us for the next open slot when you call.
Nobody needs to be home for professional window cleaning on the outside of the house. We call before we come, and the crew photographs every residential window and every gutter run it cleans. If a pane or a sill cannot be reached safely, we say so in the report rather than guessing.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. If you want a slot in those months, schedule service as early as you can. Booking early also keeps the window and gutter cleaning on your schedule before the grime or leaves build up on the clean windows.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean glass.
Our window cleaning services are quoted from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate before we book.
On our jobs the outside carries the most grime here: road film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and a squeegee alone does not remove dirt from that film. Clean inside glass with dirty outside glass still looks hazy when the sun is low.
Most of our El Segundo customers book the spring and fall visits, in the months we keep open for them. Call early in the season, because those are the busy windows on our calendar. Condos follow the same calendar, though the building's rules decide who can reach the outside glass.
No, because we clear the gutters before we touch the glass. Doing it the other way round means the runoff hits the window you just paid to have washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job. Our washing services stop at the outside of the glass, and interior glass and pressure washing are outside this price.
No. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit, which is exterior only, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want interior and exterior glass done, tell us when you call and we will say whether we can help.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if 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.
