Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job 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 the homeowners we serve book spring and fall, and our crew hears the same questions on every call.
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.
Our washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and our window cleaning services quote stands once the crew sees the house.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A high residential window count, or oversized picture windows that take more handling, adds time. Heavy grime on the glass, the kind that needs a second pass, adds time too. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line needs a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Clearing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Pricing for interior and exterior glass is separate, and this visit covers the exterior only.
Our experience with this kind of quote is simple. We ask for the stories and a rough window count, plus a photo of the front of the house sent by text. A window washing crew working off a photo can estimate the glass, and the gutter run comes from the same view. Our window cleaning services follow the same checklist for every house, so the estimate reads the same whether it comes by phone or text. Regular cleanings, done on a set schedule, tend to keep the work lighter each visit than a first cleaning after a long gap, which is one reason we ask about the last time the gutters were opened. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us that photo, and we will book a date with you on the spot.

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.
On our La Crescenta-Montrose jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in the spring visit window and the fall visit window, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California the spring and fall pattern holds for most homes, though the exact dates move with the season.
At each visit we find something specific. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters, and the window and gutter run both show it at once. In the fall the leaf load is the main thing we clear, and wind or storm seasons can shift the dates on any given year. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or a construction site often needs a third visit, because the spots return a day after cleaning or clogged gutters back up between visits. Multi-story buildings, which in practice means a house with a third story or more, take longer on the ladder. Clogged gutters and downspouts that overflow send runoff along the foundation, and that is an early route to water damage.
Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass, not for speed, and we keep to the same routine each time. A house under heavy trees will keep needing us between the twice-a-year visits, and a house with few or no trees usually does not. Windows need attention when you notice a haze you only see when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain. Residential and commercial jobs both follow this pattern, and when a client asks about the windows inside, we quote that as its own job.
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 La Crescenta-Montrose, residential properties and condos alike, and the easiest way to find out whether we can take your house is to call (866) 435-6328 or text us your stories and a photo of the front. Our cleaning services start with that one call, so you know the lead time before you commit. We will tell you the next open slot and what the lead time is at that point in the year. The two busy windows are the spring and fall visit months, when pollen and leaves bring the most calls, and the calendar fills faster then.
Booking works in a few steps. You send the stories and window count, we send a written estimate, and we set a date. We call before we come, so nobody has to wait at the curb. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew stays outside and does not come into the house.
Plenty of clients now rely on a professional window cleaning crew for the whole exterior, not just the glass, and we fit the gutter run into the same visit. Homeowners who search for window cleaners often ask about gutters in the same breath, and we fit both into one visit. Clean glass and a clear gutter line also help curb appeal, so the bundle suits people who want the whole exterior done at once. If you want the bundle, say so when you call and we will schedule service for both at once, so the crew reaches every window and every gutter on the same day.
Yes. The same two people do both in one visit, and they clean the gutters and downspouts first so nothing washed off the roof lands on the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range here, because the house decides it.
Usually yes. On a residential window, the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, and it takes the weather first. Regular exterior cleaning helps remove dirt before it builds up.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and fall visit windows, and we can tell you the next open date when you call.
No, because we do gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and black water come down the wall, and runoff from the gutter carries it across any window below, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are wiped where they are reachable, and nothing is billed as an extra on the day.
On this visit we do exterior glass only. For residential properties we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing, so the crew stays outside.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Condos follow the same exterior rules, and the crew needs access to the outside walls.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
