Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean panes. 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. Across California, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, and that is when our crews are busiest.
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.
Window washing and professional window cleaning are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328, or text a photo of the roofline, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone comes out.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means the boom or scissor lift goes up, and that takes more hours. Window count matters, since every window on the outside gets the same care, and so do oversized panes that need two people. Gutters not cleaned in years come down heavier, packed with needles and leaves. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass, and no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras.
On one of our Foothill Farms jobs the quote came up because the house had three stories, a long run of gutters that had not been opened in years, and a row of picture windows on the upper floor that needed the lift. The crew photographed the gutters before clearing them and sent the photos before leaving. Clogged gutters that sit for a season are where water damage starts, so the sooner you have the number, the sooner the work gets done. Our crew can tell you the exact figure once we know your stories and window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text is enough to start. Dirt and grime on the glass come off with the same visit, so there is no second trip to plan.
| 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, most of our customers book both of our cleaning services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for that schedule. Spring is when the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the sticky residue sits in the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load arrives and the wet mat starts to hold water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book against the weather, not the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, and that is a third-visit job. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the average lot. For those houses, regular cleanings keep the gutters from backing up and keep the residential window glass clear between the big visits.
You will know the windows need it when the haze shows only in the low afternoon sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean windows and clear gutters both show from the street, which is a big part of curb appeal. Either sign means it is time to schedule service, and a text with a photo is enough to start the conversation.
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 works across Foothill Farms, and we book our window cleaning services and washing services in the order requests come in. Start with the estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time is set by our calendar that week, so we give you a date when we give you the number. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we take photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills fastest then. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Our crews handle residential properties and small commercial buildings alike, because the order of work for residential and commercial glass is the same, and that includes condos and multi-story buildings with several floors of windows. We clean up the grime and the runoff from the roof so nothing ends up on the walk below, and we remove dirt from the gutter seams before flushing so the water runs clear. Gutters and downspouts get checked for loose hangers while we are up there, and anything we find goes in the report.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff off clean panes, so the windows do not need a second pass.
The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate before anyone comes out.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. On our Foothill Farms jobs the outside is where the haze shows first, especially in the low afternoon sun.
Our customers here book in the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, which is when we are busiest. If you can book a slot a few weeks early, you get the date you want.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the glass. The wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does the crew start on the windows.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. None of it shows up as a separate line on the invoice.
Exterior only on this visit, and we do not clean the windows inside, so the job never touches interior and exterior glass together. We also skip pressure washing, and the glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions.
No, 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 the 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.
