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 together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across California, most of the houses we clean are booked for the spring and fall visits, which is when dust and leaves build up.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately. We quote residential and commercial buildings from the same two inputs. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. The starting figure for each package comes from a call or text, and the bundle saving is worked out from your own stories and window count.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same every time. A third story or a steep roof means the crew works from a boom or scissor lift instead of a ladder, which adds time. A large window count or oversized picture windows take longer to reach and rinse. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, need more time per run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with regular cleaning and is quoted separately once the crew sees it. The cleaning solutions used on the glass are part of the price. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Regular cleanings twice a year keep the gutters from packing up to the point where they need a third visit.
For a clear number, send us a text with the stories and a photo of the front of the house. A photo tells us more than a description does. Pollen film on the glass shows up clearly, and so do packed leaves in the gutters, so the crew can plan the visit from that. The same applies to a house under heavy tree cover, where the downspouts fill faster between visits. The quote covers exterior glass only, and the invoice does not combine interior and exterior work.
| 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 jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and in Highland it is the same pattern. Most people here book these cleaning services together, which means one crew and one visit. Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December.
At the spring visit we find pollen film on south-facing glass and the debris packed in the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load, which is wet and heavy by the time it reaches the downspouts. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and Highland gets about 12.9 inches a year, mostly from January through March. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little, and the crew will say so when they call.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof fills the gutters faster than twice a year allows, and multi-story buildings need more time on the lift. Clogged gutters that overflow in a storm can lead to water damage at the fascia, so do not wait for the fall visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a closer look. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime between visits.
Windows inside collect less grime, so the outside is what builds up between visits. The outside of the windows tells you when they need cleaning: a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Clogged gutters show up as water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal. If you see either, it is time to call (866) 435-6328 and book a date.
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 professional window cleaning and gutter work covers residential properties across Highland, and each residential window on the house is done from the same setup, with the same crew and the same order of work. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time is set by the calendar, and when the spring and fall windows fill, the first open dates go quickly, so it helps to book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. If you want the outside of every window done in the same visit as the gutters, tell us when you book so the crew plans one setup per side of the house. The result is one visit that covers the window and gutter cleaning, with clean windows and clear gutters when the crew leaves, and a house with better curb appeal.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send a written estimate.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. Gutters and downspouts are cleaned first and the glass last, so the runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
We do not quote from a general figure. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Condos are quoted the same way as houses, by stories and window count. The number we quote is the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside carries the grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the outside alone helps remove dirt that builds up on the glass between visits.
Most of our customers here book window cleaning services for the spring and fall visits. Across California the pattern is the same, and the crew will confirm the dates when you call.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the leaves, grit and black water from the gutters run down the wall and across the windows below.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the exterior cleaning, and nothing is billed as an extra.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside stay out of the job. We do not do pressure washing.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
