Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest on the house.
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 and our gutters and downspouts work are quoted as one job, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a window count that includes picture windows and other oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened 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. Each of those changes the time on the ladder, which is why we ask about them up front.
Across California, the single most useful thing you can send us is the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, by text. From those two things we can tell you whether a boom or scissor lift is needed, how many windows the crew will reach from the ground, and what the gutter runs look like before anyone climbs. Window washing is included in every visit: the crew removes dirt from the glass, grime from the frames and runoff stains from the sill, and these washing services come in the same trip. Condos and multi-unit buildings get the same process, quoted by building.
| 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.
Most of our customers settle into regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the same house. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the pollen drop has finished, and the fall visit lands in late November to December, after the last leaves are down and before the wet season sets in.
At each visit we find something specific, and the crew checks the interior and exterior of every downspout, since a clog inside the pipe looks clear from the ground. In the spring we see the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutter elbows. In the fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that forms over the downspouts. Atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days across California, so a clogged run can overflow fast, and storm seasons can move those dates a little.
Some houses need more cleanings than the two regular visits. We see that most often under heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is the other common reason: those spots come back a day later no matter how well the pane was cleaned. A house near a busy road or a construction site also builds up a film faster than average.
The sign windows need cleaning is a haze that you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 crews work across the Home Gardens area on residential properties, and we serve residential and commercial clients alike, cleaning the gutters and exterior glass for homes and the commercial buildings beside them. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text the story count and a photo of the house front, and we quote from that. Lead time depends on the season, and it is shorter in the quiet months than in the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills and it pays to book early.
Our crew knows the cleaning services that a house like yours needs, including which cleaning solutions suit the frames, and we bring the same care to every window cleaners' job we take on. Professional window cleaning is what we do all day, and we treat a second-floor pane with the same attention as a ground-floor one. Clean glass is only part of curb appeal; clear gutters matter just as much for the look of the house after a storm.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew never goes inside, so the windows inside stay untouched. The crew calls before it comes, so you know when to expect it. Clogged gutters are the first thing we check, because they are the usual route to water damage at the fascia and foundation. On multi-story buildings we bring the same ladder setup and the same order of work, gutters first and glass last.
Yes. A residential window job and the gutter run are done by one crew in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters never lands on the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the story count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before the visit.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of the grime: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Clean windows on the outside also mean a clearer view from every room, even when the inside has not been touched.
Across California, spring visits usually land in mid to late June and fall visits in late November or December. Those are the two busy windows, so booking early in them is the safe move.
No, that is why we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and black water down the wall, so the glass has to wait until the gutters and downspouts are finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks that hold heavy grime are noted on the estimate so you know before the crew arrives.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing here.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
