One crew cleans the gutters and the outside of your windows in the same 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. Our crew has done gutter and window cleaning across California through the spring and fall, the two seasons when most homes here need the work most. Tell us how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows, and you get the number on the phone.
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 cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Booking both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately, because the crew sets up once and works the house from the same ladder positions. We quote a starting price for each house size on the call, so you have the range before anything is booked.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the same almost every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk needs a boom or scissor lift, which adds setup time. Oversized picture windows take more handling per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years hold more seed, needles and grit, and we flush every downspout until it runs clear, so a packed run takes longer than a recently cleaned one. Houses on a regular schedule of cleanings tend to have lighter runs, so a repeat job is usually quicker than a first one. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are timed on their own, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something standard cleaning does not remove, so the cleaning solutions for it are quoted separately and we tell you on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California, the quote gets sharper when the crew has the right information before the visit. Send a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the story count and a rough window count, and we can tell you the number on the same call. Our crew sees the same pattern on most houses, so a clear first estimate usually holds on the day. Gutters show the most build-up after pollen season and leaf fall, so that is when to check them. On the window side, the gap between a standard cleaning and a deeper one shows on the glass, so we say which one you need before we start. Each quote covers exterior glass and gutters only, so interior and exterior work never gets mixed into one number. If you want a written estimate for a larger property, ask and we will send one. We quote residential and commercial jobs the same way, by the stories and the glass, and a residential property with picture windows or several stories is priced that way too.
| 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 homes that book our cleaning services are on a spring visit and a fall visit, and that is the schedule we suggest for this city. The two visits track what we find in the gutters and on the glass across the year, and running professional window cleaning alongside gutter work in the same visit keeps the calendar simple.
At the spring visit, the pollen film is heavy on south-facing glass, and sap sits in the downspout elbows. By the fall visit, the leaf load has built up, and clogged gutters have let rain wash grime down the walls below them. Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cycles and sprinkler spotting returns within a day of cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust on the frames faster than the glass alone would show.
Most of our customers book regular cleanings, the spring and fall visit once a year each, with a third visit added only where the lot calls for it. Older multi-story buildings, and homes where the gutters carry water near the foundation, are the ones where we see the cost of skipping a visit turn into water damage. On multi-story buildings and tall homes, the glass sits higher and more of the work happens from a lift, so those jobs run longer, and windows inside stay out of this visit. The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters are most of the curb appeal a house shows from the street, so the visit pays off where people see 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.
We clean residential properties across Isla Vista, from single-story homes to houses with several stories and a lot of glass. Our crew handles every window on the exterior of the house and the full run of the gutters in the same visit, so you deal with one company for the whole job. A residential window job and the gutter run are scheduled together, so the crew makes one trip, not two. The crew also wipes each sill and frame on the way. Our goal on every visit is clean windows and clear gutters from one trip. The window and gutter cleaning schedule is set by the estimate, not by a sales call, and the crew calls before it comes out.
Booking is simple. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the number of stories and a rough window count. We give you the number on the same call and book the date you choose. Lead time depends on the week, and the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, when spring bloom and the fall leaf drop arrive. Booking early in those windows gets you the slot you want. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside, so the schedule works around your day.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in the same visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder for both jobs. Gutters go first and glass last, so the dirty water from the runs never lands on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the story count, and you get the number on the same call. We quote condos the same way, by those two inputs, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On the houses we clean here, the outside carries most of the grime. Dust settles on south-facing glass, rain dust builds on the frames, and sprinkler spots dry onto the pane. Those sit on the outside, so cleaning the inside alone does not address what you see from the street.
Across California, we see the most calls in the spring and fall, when tree debris and leaves build up. Book early in those windows for a set date with our window cleaning services, and text us a photo of the house to lock in the slot.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, and runoff from a flushed downspout hits any pane below it. So the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and they are not billed as extras. Rinsing the screens is also how we remove dirt from the mesh before it washes onto the pane. Tracks are included on the exterior side. Interior glass is not part of this visit.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not clean inside the windows. Our washing services stop at the outside of the glass and the gutter runs, and pressure washing of siding or decks is not part of this job.
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 ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. The crew does not come inside, and it sends photos of every run before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
