The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it 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 homes we service book the pair in spring and fall, when the seed, pollen and leaf load is heaviest on the roof and the glass.
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.
Window washing and gutter cleaning are priced by stories and approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Doing the gutters and the exterior windows together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and we will quote both sides so you can compare. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes how many hours the job takes, so we name them before we start rather than after.
Across California, the homes that come in lowest are the ones where we have the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house before the visit, so the crew arrives knowing the scope. Text a photo of the front of the house and the number of stories, and we will return a figure from those two details. Customers who have us out on a regular schedule often find the cleanings get simpler over time because the glass and gutters are kept on a steady routine, and the regular cleanings are easier to plan than a single catch-up job. Picture windows and large single panes take longer per pane than standard sashes, and that is part of the figure we quote.
Our washing services for this visit cover the exterior only, and interior and exterior cleaning are handled as separate scopes. Grime on the outside builds faster than most people expect, which is why the pricing reflects the actual window count and not an average. If you want a number before deciding, send the stories and the window count and we will price the window cleaning services on their own, then show you the bundle with gutters.
| 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.
On our Lakeland Village jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in the spring and the fall, which is why one crew doing the gutters and glass in one visit makes sense on the same calendar. Across California, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Spring is when the pollen comes down, and fall is when the leaves do.
In the spring we find a film of seed and dust on south-facing glass and a paste of grit packed into the gutters and at the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall the leaf load builds into a wet mat that holds water against the fascia and sends it over the edge in the first heavy rain. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and a clogged run is what turns one of those storms into water damage on the wall below. Lakeland Village gets about 11.7 inches of rain a year, with January, February and December the wettest months. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, and we schedule residential and commercial buildings from what the glass and gutters look like, not from the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. We see it most under heavy tree cover where the roof is in shade, since needles and grit pack the downspouts and clogged gutters overflow between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass is the other common case: those spots come back a day after cleaning because the mineral is in the water and not on the surface, and cleaning solutions will not lift them. Multi-story buildings take longer to reach, so those jobs need more time on the ladder, and the windows inside the house are not part of this visit at all. A house close to a busy road or active construction also gets a film faster than a quiet street does.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner than planned is a haze you only see when the sun is low, usually from the west in the late afternoon. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. When you see either, call and we will look at the house before we quote a return visit.
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 Lakeland Village, and booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Schedule service runs on our crew calendar, so we give you the first open date when you call rather than promise a day in advance. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf season, so booking earlier in those months gives you more choice of day. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
We are one of the cleaning services in the area that does gutters and exterior glass with one crew, which is why the visit runs in one pass. The window cleaners on the crew handle the glass with a water-fed pole and purified water, so the work does not need a ladder on every pane. Professional window cleaning means every window gets the same treatment, the frames, the screens and the sill, not only the panes you see from the street. Good curb appeal depends on the whole front of the house being clean, and that is the goal of the visit.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without entering the house. We ask only for the side gate to be unlocked and the cars off the driveway if the windows face it.
Yes. Our crew does both, and the gutters and downspouts are done first so the glass is clean at the end of the visit.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text from those details. Quotes for condos work the same way, from the stories and window count of the unit. We do not quote a range without them.
On our Lakeland Village jobs the outside carries most of the grime: dust from the rain, sprinkler spots and the haze that builds on a residential window in low sun. The inside can look fine while the outside is hazy.
Most residential properties we clean in Lakeland Village book in spring and fall. Across California the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the runoff from the roof and the wall is finished before anyone touches the windows. Every frame and sill is wiped too, so you do not have to remove dirt from the frames yourself.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are included in the visit, and none of them is billed as an extra.
This visit is exterior only. We do not clean inside the glass and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. For questions, call (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
