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 falls on clean panes. We price the job 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 homeowners book us in spring and fall, when the gutters and glass have collected the 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 window washing and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services and washing services cover residential properties and condos alike, quoted the same way. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Your starting point depends on the size of the house, and we confirm the final figure once we know those two things.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Oversized panes and high window counts take more time at the glass, and we clean every window we can reach safely. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more time at the roofline. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleared as part of the quote, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are never billed as extras.
Across California, the houses we see with the biggest bills are the ones where grime has built up for a long time. Pollen and road dust settle on the glass, and runoff leaves streaks along the siding. We can usually tell from a photo of the front of the house whether those problems are present. Send us a photo by text, along with your story count and a rough window count, and we will give you the exact number before anyone comes out. That way you know what to expect and can remove dirt from the lot before the crew arrives.

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 Lancaster customers book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense and why the two cleanings are booked together. Spring is the first visit, once the bloom has peaked. Fall is the second, after the leaves have dropped and before the first hard rains.
On the glass in spring, the pollen film sits heaviest on south-facing picture windows. In the gutters, the same tree dust turns into a paste that clogs the downspout elbows. Booking window and gutter work together in spring catches both before they set. By fall, the leaf load is what fills the gutters and the grime settles on the lower panes. A storm season or a windy stretch can move those dates, so we watch the weather and call before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the others. If you have any of those, plan on regular cleanings three or four times a year rather than two.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a faint haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign means it is time to book.
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 crews work across Lancaster and handle residential and commercial jobs, along with a range of cleaning services for houses and buildings. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front along with your story count. We set a date from there, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
The two busiest windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills during both. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Our crews have experience with professional window cleaning on houses of every size, and we handle multi-story buildings with the same care we give single-story homes.
Because we work outside on ladders and lifts, we are careful with curb appeal and with the siding below the gutters, and we rinse with purified water rather than cleaning solutions. We also check for clogged gutters on every run, since a blocked gutter is the most common route for water damage to reach the fascia. If we see a problem outside the scope of our work, we photograph it and tell you. We do not do interior and exterior glass on the same visit, so this one covers the outside only.
Yes, our crew does both, and our window and gutter cleaning runs as one job. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so you are not paying for two separate trips.
For a residential window job on a two-story house, the number comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you an exact figure before we book.
Yes, because the outside takes the hardest hit from tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spotting. On our Lancaster jobs, the outside glass is where most of the grime sits, so getting clean windows on the outside makes the biggest difference.
Most of our Lancaster customers book in spring after the bloom peaks and again in fall after the leaves drop. Those are the windows when gutters and glass are dirtiest, so schedule service early.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, falling debris and black water land on it again, so we always work in that order.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We rinse screens, wipe sills and clear the tracks as we work the glass.
We clean every window on the outside of the house on this visit. We do not clean inside the glass or do pressure washing as part of this service.
You do not need to be home, since our crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
