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 our customers book this service in spring and fall, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
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.

Several things move the quote. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew cannot walk it needs a boom or scissor lift, which changes the setup. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes and picture windows that take longer to reach. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a regular cleaning, so we flag it on the visit rather than promising it will wipe off. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Huntington Park jobs, the quote is usually settled by what the crew finds in the first few minutes on the ladder. One customer on a two-story house with a long gutter run and a row of tall windows had the numbers settled by phone once we knew the stories, the window count and the state of the back run, and the crew found what the photos had shown. The lesson is the same on every house: send us a photo of the front of the house by text, tell us the stories and roughly how many windows, and you will get the exact figure before we come out.
Our crew also works around the usual exterior issues that shape a visit. Residential window washing and washing services follow the same order, and window cleaning services are quoted on the same basis. Dirty glass collects grime that a plain rinse will not lift, so the crew has to remove dirt from both the pane and the frame, and uses cleaning solutions only where water alone will not do. Picture windows and interior and exterior glass on the same house are quoted on their own counts, and we only clean the exterior here. The number that follows from stories and window count is the one you will pay.
| 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 here book both jobs twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across California, the spring visit runs mid to late June and the fall visit runs late November to December, so we plan the window and gutter work around those dates.
At each visit we find different things. In the pollen months, the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters are the first things the crew sees. In the leaf months, the leaf load in the gutters is heavy and wet. Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so we confirm the timing when you book. Atmospheric rivers deliver much of the year's rain in a few days, and clogged gutters take the brunt of that water. Runoff that spills over the edge of a clogged run can cause water damage at the fascia and siding.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof sends needles and grit into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than a quiet street. On those houses we suggest booking a third visit as the schedule needs.
Look for two signs. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain rather than running into the downspouts. If you see either, call us and we will look at the house.
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 works across Huntington Park and the surrounding area, 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 house front. That is enough for us to give you a firm number before a slot is held.
Lead time depends on the calendar, so we confirm it when you call. The busy stretches are the two windows when pollen and leaves are heaviest, and in those weeks the schedule fills, so booking earlier helps. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and the crew does not come inside, so windows inside the house stay as they are.
We provide cleaning services for residential and commercial exteriors, from condos and single-family homes to multi-story buildings, and our window cleaners work the same way on all residential properties we visit. Each house is cleaned with purified water on a pole, so the glass dries clean, and the professional window cleaning is finished with the frames and sills wiped down. The result is a better curb appeal for the front of the house, and a schedule service that keeps every window on the house in the same routine. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house to book.
Yes, the same crew does both in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a figure before we come out.
On the residential properties and condos we clean in Huntington Park, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting that build up between visits. Those are the layers that dull the glass from outside, whatever the inside looks like.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and the spring and fall visit timing is set from the local calendar. Book earlier in the busy stretches.
No. We clear gutters and downspouts first, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. That order keeps the water off finished panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, 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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
