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. Across California, most of the homes we service book this bundle in the spring and fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf loads are heaviest.
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 and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately, because the same setup covers both. The same method covers residential and commercial jobs, so there are no figures to chase here: the starting price is shown with each package, and your exact number comes from your own house.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A large number of windows or oversized picture windows adds glass to clean, and we count every window on the house before we quote. Clogged gutters, the ones packed with needles and leaves or not opened in years, need more hand clearing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that standard cleaning solutions do not remove, so we flag it rather than bill it as more of the same. Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of professional window cleaning, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared on the same visit without extra billing.
Across California, the way to get your exact number is simple. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and text a photo of the front of the house. We will look at the gutter run and the glass and give you one number before we book. The window and gutter cleaning on your house is quoted once, from what we can see, so you know what it will cost before the truck pulls up. The next number is easy to plan, since regular cleanings booked on the same schedule use the same count.

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 customers book professional window cleaning and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Some cleaning services book it as two separate visits, which is the trip this bundle saves. In spring we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and seed paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the rainy months.
Heavy tree cover over the roof changes the schedule. Needles and grit build up in the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters show up within a few months, so we see those houses on a three or four month cycle. Half Moon Bay gets about 24.6 inches of rain a year, and January, February and December are the wettest months, so a gutter that overflows then can cause water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need more frequent visits. Dust settles on the glass faster at multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site than on a quiet street.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, looking out through the windows inside. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters keep your curb appeal, and both show first. If either shows up between visits, call us and we will look at what is causing it.
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 provides window cleaning services and gutter work on residential properties across Half Moon Bay, and we book clean windows and clear gutters on a rolling calendar. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and rough window count. We will give you the estimate from that and confirm a date. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is, and we tell you the next open slot when you call.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months helps. Outside them there is usually more room. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so the truck is not a surprise at the curb.
Each residential window and each gutter run is done from the outside, so the whole job stays on the exterior of the property, and every window on the house is checked before the crew leaves. We will tell you on the estimate call if any part of the house cannot be reached safely, and we will say why.
Yes, we do both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We clear gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not run back onto clean windows.
The number comes from your stories and your window count, and you can call (866) 435-6328 or text us for it before we book. There is no figure to guess from here; send us the stories and a photo of the front of the house.
Yes, because the outside carries the road film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. That grime is what shows through the glass when the sun is low.
Across California most homes book in spring and fall. Our customers here tend to book around the spring season and again after the leaves drop, which is when the gutters and glass are most loaded.
Not if the order is right. We clear the roof, the gutters and every downspout first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. Doing it the other way round means someone washes the windows twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the exterior side, so the crew can remove dirt from every frame you can reach from outside. None of that is billed as an extra line.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or pressure wash, so interior and exterior cleaning are quoted as separate jobs if you want both. Condos get the same exterior quote as a house, so send a photo of the building before we book.
No, you do not need to be home for the washing services. 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.
