Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back down 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. Our crew works on Lake Arrowhead homes each spring and fall, when pollen, leaves and rain leave the most on the glass and in the gutters.
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 gutter and window cleaning 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. Our window washing services and window cleaning services are quoted together, so the number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and you know the figure before the crew arrives.
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 window count or oversized picture windows add glass to clean. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush, and heavy grime on the glass adds time to the window washing, since the crew has to remove dirt from the frame first. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate matter, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. If you ask about interior and exterior glass together, the quote covers the exterior only.
On a Lake Arrowhead house, the quote depends on stories, window count and what the gutters look like when we open them. Regular cleanings make the next quote easier to predict, since the crew already knows the stories and window count. The simplest way to get an exact number is to send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328. We can often give you the figure from that alone, and we will confirm it before any work starts.
| 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.
Most of our Lake Arrowhead customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both jobs in one visit makes sense on this calendar.
In spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main things we find. Where the film has dried on, the crew adds cleaning solutions to the rinse. In fall, the leaf load is the main problem, along with storm and wind seasons that shift the dates. Clogged gutters are what let runoff back up over the edge when the rain comes, and that is how water damage at the fascia tends to start. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so the fall visit is worth keeping. Houses under heavy tree cover, multi-story buildings with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or homes near a busy road or construction often need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and they are a sign the timing needs to change.
A window needs cleaning when you notice a haze you only see when the sun is low. Smudges on the windows inside the house, from fingers and pets, are a separate job we do not take on this visit. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. Those two signs tell you more than any calendar does.
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 provides professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning services across Lake Arrowhead, and we work with you on the timing of the visit. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with your number of stories, and we will confirm the estimate and the lead time for your slot. Every window on the house gets the same attention, and the sill is wiped on each one. We handle residential and commercial jobs, and the same method applies to a house or a small office. During the busy spring and fall windows, when pollen and leaves pile up, our calendar fills faster, so booking early helps. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Window cleaners who stop at the glass leave the gutters and downspouts for someone else, but our crew does both. The crew calls before they come, works outside, and does not come inside. We schedule service around your address and call again before we arrive, so the visit stays on the plan we agreed to.
Yes. The same two-person crew handles window and gutter cleaning in one visit, on houses and condos alike, and we do gutters first and glass last.
We give the number by phone or text, based on the stories and the size of the house. The figure comes from those details and nothing else. The same estimate method applies to other residential properties.
Yes, because a residential window carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots on the outside that do not come off with interior cleaning. Those layers are what dull the glass from outside.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall, after pollen season and after the leaves drop.
No. Gutters get cleaned first and each downspout is flushed, so the water drains off the wall before we touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included in the same visit when the crew can reach them.
On this visit we clean exterior glass only. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing as part of this service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
