Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first, glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book spring and fall, and we are glad to give you the number the same day you ask for it.
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 stories and by approximate window count, and both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Our washing services and window cleaning services share one quote, so the gutters and downspouts are priced alongside the glass. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, so ask for it with those two facts ready.
What changes the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift. Oversized panes and a large window count add minutes at every sill. Gutters that have not been cleared in years come down with packed grit and leaves, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is the one thing no cleaning removes. Heavy grime on the sills takes longer to remove dirt from than a simple rinse, and runoff stains below a downspout add time at every run. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras billed later.
Here is a recent pattern from our Lemon Hill work. One two-story house had window washing and gutters both on a six-month gap, with heavy tree cover over the back roof and a row of picture windows facing the street. The crew flushed the downspouts that had packed up, cleared the gutters first, and then did the glass. The quote came from stories, window count and what the crew reported from the roof, and the same two people finished the job in one morning. Condos get the same method and the same quote sheet. To get your own number, text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has.
| 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 customers in Lemon Hill book both jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. On our jobs the window and gutter schedule follows the seasons, and we plan the calendar around the two heaviest loads. Some homeowners ask about interior and exterior glass on the same visit; on ours the crew does the exterior only.
In the spring, the first thing we see is a film from the trees. Pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and turns to paste in the gutters, and it packs the downspout elbows where water needs to pass. A film like that on picture windows usually needs more than a rinse, so the crew brings cleaning solutions for the glass. In the fall, the leaf load comes down all at once and the wet mat sits in the runs through the rain. Storms and wind move both dates, so the calendar gets adjusted, not fixed.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after we clean. A house close to a busy road or active construction gets a fine layer of dust that settles on the frames. Those are the places where regular cleanings come around more often.
The sign windows need it is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and we will look at it with you.
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 Lemon Hill, and we clean both gutters and exterior glass for houses of every size. We book the work through a phone or text estimate, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill first, so an earlier request gets an earlier slot. To schedule service, text the photo and the story count and we reply with a time. Professional window cleaning on the front of a house does a lot for curb appeal, and every window on that side gets the same attention as the rest.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside without entering the house. Our cleaning services cover the outside of the house only. The windows inside stay out of the visit, and we say so before the quote, so nothing is left to guess about later.
We also clean gutters alone on residential properties, for homeowners who only want the gutters done. Clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage at the fascia, so that is the first thing we clear. Commercial buildings get a separate schedule, so residential and commercial jobs never share a calendar slot, and the gutters on multi-story buildings are cleared by the same method we use on homes. The point is simple: the crew that cleans your gutters is the crew that cleans your glass, and the first call gets you a clear number.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the roof do not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, so every window on the house is part of the figure. Text a photo of the front of the house and call (866) 435-6328 for the exact figure.
Yes, because the outside of a residential window carries the tree-dust film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean windows on the outside also show the sill and frame more clearly.
Most of our Lemon Hill customers book in spring and fall, right after the spring pollen season and right before the leaf drop. If your house has heavy tree cover, ask about a third visit.
Not if we follow the order. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing runs back down the wall onto panes that are already clean.
Screens get rinsed and sills get wiped as part of the window job. Tracks are included on most visits, and we tell you before work starts if one needs more time.
No, on this visit we clean exterior glass only. We do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
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.
