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 washes back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the gutters and glass need it most.
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 on the phone is the number we charge. What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that needs extra setup, a run of picture windows with oversized panes, grime baked onto the glass, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted to reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing and flushing the gutters and downspouts is part of the job, along with screen rinsing and sill wiping, and none of it is billed as an extra. This visit covers the exterior glass only, so if you were hoping for interior and exterior cleaning, the quote covers the outside.
Our window washing crew sees the same patterns across California on every residential window job. A house with grime on every pane and gutters full of leaves takes longer than the same square footage with clean glass, and the washing services we quote account for that difference up front. Each quote lists the window cleaning services by line, so you can see what the number covers. Regular cleanings run quicker because the buildup never gets established. To get your exact number, send a photo of the front of the house by text along with your story count and a rough window count. We will reply with a written estimate, and the picture windows, the tall panes that take the longest, are the first thing we ask about.
| 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 usually falls in mid to late June, and the fall visit lands in December to early January, so one crew in one visit covers both jobs. By the spring visit, pollen film has settled on south-facing glass and packed into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaves drop and wet mats build in the runs, and Lake Los Angeles gets about 6.8 inches of rain a year, with December, January and February the wettest months. Atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days across California, so one storm can load a gutter run overnight. We book from what the house needs rather than a fixed calendar. Our crew sees window and gutter jobs that need a third visit when heavy tree cover hangs over the roof, when a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, or when the house sits close to a busy road or construction.
A haze you only notice when the sun is low means the windows need cleaning. Water sheeting over the edge during rain, or runoff pooling at the base of the wall, means the gutters need cleaning. If either shows up between visits, text us a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which one it is. Pollen and leaves are the usual cause, but the clogged gutters we find most often in Lake Los Angeles are the ones that were cleaned once and then left alone through the rainy months, which is when water damage starts at the fascia. Multi-story buildings take longer because every run above the first floor needs a ladder or a pole setup. Dust that drifts in during dry months can film the windows inside, but that is a separate job, since the crew works on the outside of the glass. Stubborn film gets a separate pass with cleaning solutions, which the crew uses only where it is needed to remove dirt, and the crew tells you before it is used. This page covers single houses, and the steps for residential and commercial buildings differ and are quoted on their own.
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 has worked across Lake Los Angeles on residential properties and books cleaning services for houses with a standard two-story or three-story build. Homeowners looking for window cleaners in Lake Los Angeles can book both jobs in one call. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text, give us your story count, and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Our calendar fills around the spring visit in mid to late June across California and the fall visit in December to early January, so the earlier you call, the more choice you have. We are a professional window cleaning crew, and we work with homeowners who want their curb appeal kept up without a second trip. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and condos with shared rooflines are quoted on their own. We call before we come, and we will schedule service around your timing if you tell us the windows that matter most. Your list can include every window, and each one gets the same finish, along with the sill under it, so the crew can remove dirt from the frame too.
Yes. Our two-person crew does both, gutters first and glass last, so the work is done in one visit.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and it covers the window cleaning services and the gutter work on one visit. Text us a photo and your story count and we will send a written estimate.
On residential properties in Lake Los Angeles, pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside, and rain runoff carries that grit down the glass. Cleaning the outside alone fixes most of what you see from the street, because the crew can remove dirt from the glass and frames.
Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in December to early January, so those are the windows to call about.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first. We clear the gutters and downspouts, and the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall during that work, so the glass is washed last once the wall has stopped dripping.
This page is about single houses. Condos have shared rooflines that change the setup, so they are quoted on their own, and a photo of the building is the fastest way to get a number.
No. Interior glass is outside this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. We clean the exterior glass only.
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. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
