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 the dirty runoff never lands 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, spring and fall are when the pollen and the leaf drop build up fastest, and that is when most homes need this work.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Our window washing and gutter work is quoted together, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Doing gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the washing services are bundled for that reason. We quote from those details over the phone or by text, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized panes and picture windows add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the channel. Heavy grime and runoff dried into the frames add time too, because the crew has to remove dirt from the tracks before the squeegee touches the glass. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras we bill later.
Send us a photo of the front of your house by text, along with your story count and a rough window count, and we can give you the number to start from. Multi-story buildings and older houses with heavy build-up take more time than a photo suggests, so the final number is confirmed once the crew has seen the back of the house too. The crew checks the gutters and downspouts on every job before the final number is set.

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.
Many homes in Livingston do well with a regular schedule for window and gutter work, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California, the usual spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. The order of work is the same for residential and commercial buildings: gutters first, glass last.
On our jobs in spring, pollen shows up as a yellow film on the glass and a thick paste inside the gutters and at the downspout elbows. In fall it is the wet leaf mat that sits in the channel and blocks the outlet. The cleaning solutions we use change with the film, so the crew matches the product to what is on the glass. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we look at the house rather than the calendar when we schedule.
Some houses need more cleanings than the usual spring and fall visits. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps dropping needles and grit between visits, and we see those downspouts packed sooner. 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 collects grime faster than the average. When we see one of these, we tell you what we found and suggest the schedule that fits the house.
You will see the sign that windows need cleaning when a haze shows up only when the sun is low, and regular cleanings keep that haze from building up. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Our crew works on the outside, so the interior and exterior of the glass are two separate visits for us. Either way, text us a photo and we will tell you what we see.
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.
We clean gutters and exterior windows across Livingston, from older single-story homes to multi-story buildings. Booking starts with a quote by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send us your number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the approximate window count and the number we will charge. Our lead time depends on the season, and we tell you the next open date when you call.
The busy stretch is the spring and leaf season, when our calendar fills fastest. Book early in those months if you want a specific day. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way.
Our cleaning services cover the outside of the house, and window cleaning services are a standalone visit each time. Our window cleaners do not come inside, so the windows inside stay as they are. A professional window cleaning visit keeps the outside clear, which is a big part of curb appeal for most homes. Clean gutters also protect the fascia and the siding from water damage, and clogged gutters are one of the first things we check on the roofline.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. It is the same two people on the job from start to finish.
We quote residential properties from the same details, so the number comes from your stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure before we book.
In Livingston the outside of the glass collects rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean windows on the outside keep the view clear, and cleaning the outside stops those deposits from building up on the frames and sill.
Across California the usual spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, so those are the windows to plan around. To schedule service, book with a quote by phone or text, and book early if you want a specific day.
Not on our jobs. We clean the gutters first and rinse the wall before we touch the glass, so nothing runs down onto clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Every window on the outside of the house gets the same rinse, and tracks are included in the exterior visit. We tell you before we start if a track needs more time.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on it. Ask us about those on the phone if you need them scheduled separately.
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 while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
