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 booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew does this work across California and books the most jobs in the spring and fall, when the tree dust and leaf loads are heaviest.
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.
Our window washing and gutter work is priced from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge on the invoice.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a large window count add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no regular cleaning removes. Most of our customers ask about interior and exterior glass together, but this visit covers the outside only. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get your exact number, tell us the stories and a rough window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted the same way. Regular cleanings keep the glass and the gutters from building up, so the job stays predictable from one visit to the next. Our window cleaning services and washing services follow the same order on every house, whatever the grime load is on the day.
| 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 Lompoc customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California the pattern is the same: the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters build up in spring, and the leaf load arrives in fall.
On our jobs we find the spring film on the glass and the paste in the gutters on the spring visit, and the wet leaf mat in the fall. Cleaning solutions for the glass are chosen to match what the season left behind. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we book off the house and not the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road all leave more residue between visits. Those are the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and we tell you about them on the first visit.
You can tell the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain, and when clogged gutters back up at the downspouts. Left alone, the overflow can cause water damage on the fascia.
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 book Lompoc through one estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our crew works with cleaning services that go beyond a single pass, so the calendar is set around the whole house, not one run. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date before we book it. In the two busy windows of the year, when tree dust and leaves come down, our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the sooner you get a slot. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will take the stories and a photo from there.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we keep to the arrival window. Window cleaners with a full route are harder to reschedule, so we ask you to tell us early if the date does not work.
We give every window the same attention, from the upper panes to each sill. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and professional window cleaning goes quickly once the crew is set up. Booking a date is one call, and the work is done in one visit with a photo of each run sent before we leave.
Yes. Our crew cleans gutters and downspouts and the glass in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder. Gutters go first and glass last so the wall residue does not land on clean windows.
The number for residential properties comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure before we book.
Yes, because on a residential window the outside carries the tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Those residues sit on the exterior glass first, so cleaning only the inside would not remove dirt from the outside.
Most of our Lompoc customers book in the spring and in the fall. Those are the months the tree dust and leaf loads come in, so booking then keeps the work on schedule.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared first, the grit and runoff run down the wall before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit and are not billed separately.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean windows inside or do pressure washing, so those are not part of the booking.
No, you do not need to be home, including at condos. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the 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.
