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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Escondido jobs, most customers book it in the spring and fall, when the glass and gutters carry the most debris.
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 window cleaning services and gutter work are priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking two separate washing services, one for window washing and one for gutters. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we send a quote before we book a date.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it, a large number of oversized panes, gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Heavy grime on the lower panes adds time, and so does runoff staining under a downspout, and the crew can remove dirt from the frames before it reaches the glass. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one Escondido job, the quote moved because the house had a third story, a long run of picture windows on the back, and gutters packed with seed and leaf mat. That case is linked below so you can read exactly what the crew found. Condos get the same quote method, by stories, window count and the state of the gutters. Your own quote turns on the same three things, so start with a photo of the front of the house sent by text and we will tell you what we need to see.
| 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.
Across California, the two cleanings that matter most fall in spring and fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The spring visit lands in mid to late June across California, and the fall visit lands in late November to December. What we find at each visit depends on the season.
In the spring we see a pollen film on south-facing glass and a gutter run packed with seed and grit. In the fall the leaf load is the problem, a wet mat in the runs and grit on the sills that rain has not yet washed off. Storm and wind seasons move these dates, so when a winter storm is forecast we often call to check whether a visit should move earlier. Escondido averages 14.5 inches of rain a year, and January through March are the wettest months, so that is when clogged gutters and runoff matter most.
A few houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts packing with needles and grit between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or construction collects its own dust. If you have one of those, plan for regular cleanings three or four times a year rather than two.
Two signs tell you when windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a streak pattern that returns within days. Two signs tell you when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a light rain, and a run that overflows even though you cleaned it last season. The same signs apply to residential and commercial glass alike. Our crew uses a water-fed pole and purified water, so no film from cleaning solutions is left on the glass. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so plan each one on its own.
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 has worked across Escondido, and we keep a running list of the neighborhoods we have cleaned. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with your number of stories. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date before we come. We call before we arrive, so you know the crew is on the way. Our cleaning services cover both jobs in one booking.
The two busiest windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when the glass and the runs carry the most debris. Our calendar fills in those weeks, so the earlier you call, the better your chance at the date you want. Outside those windows, slots open up more often. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside to touch the windows inside the house. We handle residential properties and commercial work on the same schedule, and a residential customer can ask us about that side of the work by phone. Window cleaners who skip the gutters leave the runs to overflow, and the water comes back down the glass, so we do both in one visit.
Our professional window cleaning is the same whether the house is one story or three. For larger jobs and multi-story buildings, we confirm the access plan up front so the boom or scissor lift can be set where it needs to be. Clean glass and clear runs help curb appeal, and clogged gutters can lead to water damage at the eaves when the rain comes.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the dirty gutter water does not run across the clean panes.
We give you the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the approximate window count, and that number covers every window on the outside of the house. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we need to see before we quote.
The outside of a residential window carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots. The outside is what the sun shows through, so it changes curb appeal more than anything else.
Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, and the fall visit lands in late November to December. Those are the windows when leaves and grit are heaviest on the glass and in the runs. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the runs are cleared the leaves and black water come down the wall, so any glass that was washed first would have to be done again. Doing the glass last keeps the clean windows clean on the day we leave.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the number we give you on the phone, so there is no separate line item on the invoice.
This visit covers the outside of the windows only. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and we do not do pressure washing of siding or driveways on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
