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 dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of your house, and we will give you a written estimate from the number of stories and the approximate window count. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Window washing services for residential properties are quoted on the same estimate as the gutters. Bundling gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning into one visit costs less than booking them separately, and we will show you that saving on the estimate.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk slows the crew down. Large or oversized panes, and houses with many picture windows, add time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem; cleaning does not remove it, so we flag it on the visit. Keep in mind that interior and exterior glass are two different scopes, and this quote covers the exterior only. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew does not give a number without the details, so the first step is always the same: tell us the stories, the rough window count and whether the gutters have ever been cleaned. Those three answers cover most of the regular cleanings we book. From there we can quote the exact job, including how often a house like yours needs the work and whether the glass has grime that needs a longer pass.
| 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 of our customers book gutters and windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, and one crew in one visit is what makes that practical.
Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed drop has finished. The film on south-facing glass and the paste in the gutters are the two things we find most often at that visit. The fall visit runs across California from late November to December, once the leaf load is down and before the wet season settles in. Winter rain is the heaviest of the year here, with most of it falling in January, February and December, so a clean roofline going into those months keeps water moving where it should. Storm seasons can shift the dates, and we adjust the calendar when a wind event has moved the leaves early.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. Multi-story buildings close by can add debris to the same gutters. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film faster than most. When any of these apply, we will say so on the first visit and suggest the timing that fits the house.
You will see the window need for a cleaning as a haze that shows only when the sun is low. You will see the gutter need as water sheeting over the edge in rain, not running into the downspout. The usual cause of that is clogged gutters, and water that backs up long enough can end in water damage at the fascia. Either sign means it is time to call.
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 La Riviera, and our crew clears gutters and windows across the city on a regular route, so a slot can come up in your area with the same crew that worked the street before. Our window cleaning services come with the gutters on the same visit, so booking professional window cleaning means one slot instead of two. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front. Tell us the stories and the approximate number of windows, and we will schedule service for the next open day that suits the lot and the weather.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you the day you want. Outside those windows, the lead time is shorter. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and the photos of every gutter run and the finished glass go to you before the truck leaves. We check every window on the outside of the house before we leave, so nothing gets skipped. Residential and commercial buildings are scoped differently, and this page covers homes only. Owners of condos should check with the association first, because a shared roofline may mean the gutters are not yours to book.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order is what keeps dirty gutter water off the windows we just cleaned. Clean gutters and glass also keep the curb appeal of the house up between visits.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, so we give it by phone or text after we have those. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Usually yes, because the outside carries most of the dirt. For a residential window in La Riviera that is pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and none of that comes off with an inside cleaning. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the outside glass.
Across California, most customers book in mid to late June for spring and late November to December for fall, when the seed drop and the leaves are heaviest. Across California the same two seasons apply.
No, as long as the gutters and downspouts are done first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit ride the runoff down the wall, so we rinse the siding and let it drip off before touching the glass.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit, so they are not billed separately.
No. This visit does not include the windows inside the house. We clean the outside of the windows only, and we do not do pressure washing.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
