Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean panes. We price the bundle by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book both in spring and fall, and that is when we see the most buildup on the glass and in the runs.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutter cleaning and the window cleaning services separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is based on the house, not a rate card.
On the day, the things that move the quote are the ones we see on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof takes more setup. Window count matters, and so do picture windows. Clogged gutters, or runs packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and to flush. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be reached. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, and we say so before we start. Flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, not extras we bill later.
Our Los Alamitos jobs follow the same pattern. On one recent two-story house, the window count was higher than the homeowner had guessed, the rear run was packed with leaves, and two downspouts had to be cleared before the water ran clear. The estimate changed because of those three things, and we told the customer before we went up. You can get the exact number by texting a photo of the front of your house along with your story count and a rough window count, and we will come back with a figure. For pollen season, expect a heavier pass on the outside glass and the gutters, since pollen builds into a paste that holds dust. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the frames, and we are careful about what runs off into the yard. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo to get started.

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 book regular cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December.
What we find at each visit follows the season, and every visit starts by working to remove dirt that has built up since the last one. In spring, a yellow film sits on south-facing glass and a sticky grit packs the gutters. In fall, the leaf load arrives, and clogged gutters hold the wet mat until the next rain. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little. Across California, atmospheric rivers bring most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and we want the runs clear before that, since a run that overflows is how water damage often starts at the fascia.
Some houses and multi-story buildings need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), or a house near a busy road or construction all shift the schedule. Cleaning services like ours are most useful when the calendar matches what the house actually collects. Our window cleaners look for the haze that only shows when the sun is low, because that haze is what drags down curb appeal. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain is the sign the runs need clearing.
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 windows across Los Alamitos, and our crew works in the neighborhoods we have cleaned before. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. The window and gutter cleaning is one visit, so the crew shows up once with the setup for both jobs, and professional window cleaning gets done from that same setup. Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows in the year, the spring and fall visits, are when our slots fill first. We call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, so you can keep your day as planned. We handle residential window cleaning and residential properties with the same visit order, and that order holds for residential and commercial buildings too. We keep the glass and runs clean across every window on the house, including the sill and frame. If you want to schedule service, send a text with the story count and the approximate window count, and we will get back to you with a date.
Yes, it is the same two people. Our washing services for gutters and windows run in one order: gutters and downspouts first, glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not end up on clean windows. Both jobs happen on one visit.
The number comes from the story count and the size of the house, and condos get the same count-based quote, so mention the building when you call. Text us a photo of the front and the approximate window count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs the outside carries the grit, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Those build up on the outside first, so the glass looks dull and drags down curb appeal even when the inside is clean.
Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Those are the windows we see the most buildup, so the calendar fills first.
No. We clear the gutters and flush every downspout first, then give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping before we touch the windows. That order is the whole reason we do both on one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the outside of the house, and we flag any heavy grime in the report, since grime packed into the tracks may take extra time to remove dirt from them.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of the bundle. Interior and exterior work are quoted as separate jobs when they come up. We do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
No, you do not need to be home. 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
