Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it is built from what we have already seen on the outside of your house. A professional window cleaning quote follows the same logic as the gutter part, so you hear one number for both jobs instead of two.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones you would expect to see on the ladder. Steep roofs and a third story make the crew work higher and slower. Oversized panes and a long run of windows add time at the glass. Gutters nobody has opened in years are often packed to the elbow with leaves and needles, and that takes longer than a light clean. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
When a customer asks about a number, we ask for the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. With those we can give you a figure that holds up once the crew is on site. Our crew does not come inside, so the quote covers the outside of the windows only, and the windows inside the house are not part of it. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us that photo, and we give you the number before anyone climbs a ladder.
Some of our larger jobs are on multi-story buildings, where the access and the water supply change the day. Our crew sees the difference before the ladder goes up, and we say it on the phone instead of on the driveway. Clogged gutters that have gone a season or more can also cause water damage at the fascia and sill, which is one more reason to get the number before the work starts. On a house with lots of glass, the window washing takes the most time, so the count matters most there. Clean glass and gutters that run true also do a lot for curb appeal, and the front of the house is usually what people see first.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 of our customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense on most calendars. On the glass in spring, every window on the south side picks up a pollen film, and a residential window with a tree over it picks up the most. The gutters pick up paste from the same trees. In fall the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard rain.
Some residential properties need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and clean windows stay clean longer once that line is turned away from the glass. A house near a busy road or construction collects a film that a single pass does not clear. We call before we schedule a third visit so you know why it is needed.
Our cleaning services are scheduled around the two windows, and a third visit happens only when the house calls for it. Our crew keeps track of what each house needs, and we tell you after the first visit whether you need one a year or more. The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Dust on the sill is one more sign. Once you see either one, it is time to schedule service.
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 book the estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a day. The crew calls before it comes, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, since the crew stays outside and sends photos of every gutter run and the finished glass.
In the two busy windows of the year, our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the better your pick of days. Outside those windows, we can usually fit a visit in the coming weeks, and the lead time shown on the booking page is the one we keep to. We do not promise same-day service.
The crew works on the glass of the house, not on the furniture inside or the landscaping around it. Our window cleaning services cover the outside of residential window panes, sills and frames, and our washing services reach the gutters and downspouts that feed the runoff away from the foundation. We remove dirt and grime from the sill and the frame, which is where it tends to build up. The same crew handles condos and single-family homes, and we bring the same ladder and water setup to each.
Yes. The same two people do both on your house in one visit. We start on the roof and the gutters, then do the glass, so the dirty water does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, the same way we price residential and commercial buildings, and we give it to you by phone or text. We do not quote a figure on this page because the house decides it, not a template.
Yes, because the outside takes the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Regular cleanings stop that film from building up between visits, and it is what you notice when the sun comes low.
Our customers here usually call in spring and fall, the two windows when pollen and leaves come down. Calling early in each window gives you more days to choose from.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the gutters are cleared first, the debris and black water are off the wall before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and picture windows are done the same way, from the outside, with the same pole. None of these is billed as an extra.
We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are not the same job here, and this visit covers the exterior only, done with a water-fed pole and purified water with no cleaning solutions on the glass.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
