Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls out of the gutters lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners book us for the spring and fall cleanings. Call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a rough window count, and we give you the number on the phone.
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 window washing 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 we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs that need the boom or scissor lift, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned 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 gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, not billed as extras. The same rules apply to professional window cleaning on a house like this, and the windows inside are not part of the exterior price.
Here is how a recent quote on a Glendale house came together. A two-story house with a full set of gutters and a large set of picture windows on the front came in higher than the house next door, because the gutters had not been opened in several years and the back run needed the lift. That is the kind of detail we check for before the crew arrives, and it is why we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text. Give us the stories, the window count and that photo, and we will tell you the number before you book.
Gutter and window cleaning also protects the house in ways that show up later. Clogged gutters that overflow for a season can lead to water damage at the fascia, and the runoff lands on the wall below. Keeping clean windows on a schedule also does more for curb appeal than a window washed once a year. Tell us what you are seeing and we will look.

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 customers in Glendale book regular cleanings twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. The spring visit catches the pollen film on the south-facing glass, and the fall visit catches the leaf load that has built up in the gutters.
On our Glendale jobs, the spring visit usually turns up seed and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat in the gutters and the grit that rides in with it. Storm and wind seasons move these dates from year to year, so we book by what the house needs, not by the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, is one case. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site also picks up more dust on the glass, and those customers tend to book on a tighter schedule.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a film of grime you only notice when the sun is low, and you will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Either sign is reason enough to call us out of schedule.
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 clean gutters and windows on residential properties across Glendale, from the older houses with tall front windows to newer homes with wide lots and long gutter runs. Our cleaning services cover the whole city, and our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning run on the same visit with the same two people. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house, and we tell you the price before we schedule service. We confirm the first open slot when you call, so you know the wait before you commit. The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills during both, so booking early helps.
We also handle the smaller washing services that come up around the same visit: cleaning screens, wiping sills, and rinsing the exterior glass of condos or a multi-level home. For larger residential and commercial properties with multi-story buildings, we schedule the work building by building and send a photo of each run as it is done.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the gutters never land on clean panes.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we quote it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number before you book.
In Glendale the outside takes the most of the dirt: rain dust, sprinkler spots and the film that builds up over a season. Cleaning the inside does not remove dirt from the outside glass, and our crew uses purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the outside, so the outside is where a cleaning makes the most difference.
Across California, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Most of our Glendale customers book regular cleanings on those two visits, and we adjust the timing when the house needs it sooner.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the water and grit from the gutters run down onto it and someone has to wash it again.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the exterior window cleaning. We rinse the screens, wipe the sills and clean the tracks on the outside. None of it shows up as a separate line item.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing, and we never do the interior and exterior in one pass, so the window cleaning covers the outside of every window we can reach.
No, 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
