Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing falls back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, and the number we give 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Gutter cleaning and window washing done in one visit cost less than booking the two separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our washing services are one line on the quote, so the glass is never a surprise add-on. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work out the exact figure from there.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are predictable. A third story, or a roof too steep to walk, means more time on a boom or scissor lift. Oversized picture windows and large panes take longer to do well than standard sash windows. Grime on sills and frames takes longer to wipe than dust, so a house with years of buildup runs longer. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before we can start the glass. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with ordinary cleaning and gets flagged on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. This quote covers the exterior only, so interior and exterior glass are never quoted together.
Here is how we get to the exact number. Tell us the stories, give us a rough window count, and send a photo of the front of the house. Window cleaning services are quoted from the stories and window count, then confirmed from the photo. Most customers have the figure in their inbox the same day they ask for it. Regular cleanings keep grime from building up between visits, so the quote stays close from one visit to the next. Quote-by-phone is how we keep the number honest: what we say is what the crew bills when the truck leaves.
| 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, the spring visit for window and gutter work falls in mid to late June, and the fall visit falls in late November to December. One crew in one visit makes sense for a standard lot. In the rainy months, the storm season moves the dates; atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and the sign is always the same afterward.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, so the downspout elbows are the first thing we clear. In the fall, the leaf load is the job, and a wet leaf mat that sits through winter is how gutters pull away from the fascia. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts clogged gutters back on the schedule between visits, because needles and grit fill the downspouts, and a run that backs up is how water damage starts on the fascia. Dust settles on residential and commercial glass alike, and multi-story buildings near a busy road or a construction site pick up a film that comes back faster than the trees do.
On our own jobs, a third visit gets booked when sprinkler spots keep coming back a day after cleaning, or when the roof has enough cover that the gutters load up between visits. Film that plain water will not lift gets cleaning solutions on the visit. Two signs tell you the schedule is wrong. The first is haze on the glass that you only see when the sun is low. The second is water sheeting over the gutter edge during rain, which means the run is full or the slope is off. Plan on the schedule covering the exterior only, since windows inside the house are not part of the spring or fall visit. To book your date, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the visit from there.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and windows on residential properties in La Cañada Flintridge, and we book the work by phone or text. To schedule service, send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a date and an arrival window. Lead time is set by our calendar, and during the two busy windows of the year, when leaf loads peak, the slots fill first. Book early in those months and you keep the date you want. We do not promise same-day or next-day service here, and we will tell you the honest lead time when you call.
We call before we come, and we arrive in the window we gave you. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not come inside. For the glass, our crew does the outside of every window the house has, including upper stories, from a water-fed pole and a boom or scissor lift where the height calls for it. Each residential window gets the same pass, and professional window cleaning on this visit means the sill is wiped before the crew moves on. The same method covers multi-story buildings, quoted by stories and window count, and clean glass does a lot for curb appeal from the street. If you have a question about a particular room or floor, text it in when you book so the crew knows before they arrive.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first. We do both because a gutter cleared above a window sends debris down the glass if the order is reversed.
The number comes from the stories, the approximate window count and what is in the gutters, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we quote from that. What we quote is what we charge. Condos are quoted the same way, from the stories and window count.
On our jobs here, the outside carries most of what dims the glass: film from trees, rain dust that has washed onto the frame, and sprinkler spotting. Windows inside are a separate question, and interior glass is not part of this visit.
Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. La Cañada Flintridge gets about 21.4 inches of rain a year, with the wettest months in January, February and March, and storms can move those dates. Text us a photo and we will tell you what the house needs.
No, gutters first and glass last is the reason. Runoff from cleared gutters and downspouts hits the wall first, so the crew lets the wall drip out before starting on the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, since rain alone does not remove dirt from them. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window, and none of it is billed as an extra on the invoice.
No, this visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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. The crew sends photos of every run and downspout before they leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
