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 jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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. Our window cleaning services are priced with the gutters, so one visit that covers window washing and the gutters costs less than booking two separate washing services. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from what we know before the truck leaves: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and whether the gutters have been opened in years.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof that is hard to walk slows the gutter run. A high count of residential windows, or oversized picture windows, adds time on the glass. Clogged gutters take longer to clear, and gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer still. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. 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 are not billed as extras.
Pricing for condos and other residential properties follows the same logic: stories, window count, and how much grime has built up. The quote for interior and exterior cleanings is separate, so say which one you want. The same stories and window count drive the quote for regular cleanings, so you can plan the number before the first visit. Professional window cleaning is done with purified water, and cleaning solutions come in only where a pane needs more than water. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with your stories and an estimate of how many windows you have. That is enough for us to give you a firm figure before we book the date.
| 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 |

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 book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and regular cleanings on that schedule keep one crew in one visit simple to plan. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Residential and commercial jobs follow a different quote, so this schedule is for houses and condos. Where a pane needs more than purified water, cleaning solutions are used, and that does not change the schedule. Interior work on windows inside the house is not part of this visit.
In the spring we find pollen on south-facing glass, and a damp mat of needles, seed pods and bud scale in the gutters once the trees finish dropping. By the time the fall visit comes around, the leaf load is what fills the runs, and the storm and wind seasons decide how far it has moved. Clogged gutters can let runoff soak into the fascia and cause water damage, so the runs get checked on every visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or multi-story buildings near a busy road or construction usually means a third visit, because the grime and the spotting come back faster than twice a year allows.
You know the windows are due when haze shows up on every window once the sun drops low in the afternoon. You know the gutters are due when rain sheets over the edge instead of running down the downspouts, and that is the point to remove dirt before it packs into a blockage.
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.
Booking starts with a short estimate by phone or text: the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We need that to give you a firm number, and it lets us schedule service without a site visit. Because the spring and fall windows fill the calendar quickly, our busy weeks are the ones after the tree drop and the first leaf fall. If you want a date in those weeks, book early and we will hold it. Our crew calls before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
On residential properties we handle the exterior only, so the crew works from the ground, a ladder or a boom or scissor lift, and never inside. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, and a residential window gets the same purified-water rinse as the rest. Each sill is wiped as the crew goes, and one of the window cleaners on our crew handles the frame and glass in the same pass. The gutters and downspouts are done on the same visit, which is where the curb appeal comes from, and professional window cleaning on the outside is the part passersby see. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will return with a written estimate and a booking window.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both, so the gutters and the glass are done in one visit. We clean the gutters and downspouts first and the windows last, which keeps the dirty water from running across clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. Condos and other residential properties are quoted the same way, from the stories and the window count. Send a photo of the front of the house with an estimate of your window count and we will return a firm figure.
Usually yes, because what collects on the outside of a residential window is rain dust, sprinkler spotting and grit from the street, none of which inside cleaning touches. Pollen film on south-facing glass is the most common reason the outside looks hazy, and interior and exterior cleaning are quoted separately, so tell us which you want when you book.
Across California, most customers book the spring visit in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Those are the times when regular cleanings catch the most leaf load before clogged gutters back up, so the work lasts longer.
No, because we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. The runoff from the cleared runs drains away before anyone touches the windows, so the clean panes stay clean.
Screens are hand-rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which is how we remove dirt from the frame before the glass dries. Tracks on exterior glass are included, and we do not bill them as extras.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only. Our crew does not clean windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this job, and if you need either, tell us when you book and we will quote it separately.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the 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.
