Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. 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. Our crew does this work every spring and fall on Los Angeles homes, so we know what each house needs before we climb the ladder.
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. Our washing services for gutters and exterior glass are quoted as one job, so the window washing and the gutter work show up on a single line, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
Several things move the quote for our window cleaning services, and our crew sees them on the day. A third story or a steep roof that is hard to walk adds time and setup. Oversized picture windows and a large count of small panes add glass to clean, and heavy grime on the frames adds more. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and the runoff from them can streak the wall below. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes, are also factored in before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, since they are how we remove dirt before the glass is touched.
On a recent Los Angeles job, the customer had a two-story home with a large number of windows and a run of gutters that had gone several seasons without clearing. The crew found the downspouts blocked and the glass dusted with pollen, and the quote reflected both. Condos are quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Your own quote will follow the same logic: stories, window count, how long the gutters have gone, and what the crew finds when it gets up there.
Before we quote, the most useful thing you can do is send us the stories and a rough window count, plus a photo of the front of the house. That lets us give you a number that holds up on the day, without a surprise at the door.

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 Los Angeles customers book regular cleanings twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. We cover the window and gutter work together because the calendar is the same for both, and the same timing works for residential and commercial buildings.
In spring, the pollen is the first thing we notice. It builds a film on south-facing glass and a paste in the gutters, especially in the elbows of the downspouts. The crew rinses the glass with purified water and uses mild cleaning solutions only where grime has dried on. In fall, the leaf load is what fills the runs, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often find sagging hangers by the next winter. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we check the calendar against the weather rather than working from a fixed schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between cleanings. 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 dust faster than average. For these houses, our customers are on three or four visits a year, which keeps the gutters flowing and the glass clear.
A house with few or no trees, away from the traffic, is usually fine with one visit a year in late fall. Interior and exterior glass need different attention, and this visit covers the exterior only. You will know it needs a visit sooner when the glass looks hazy only when the sun is low, or when water sheets over the edge of the gutter in the rain.
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 Los Angeles, and our cleaning services are booked by phone or by text. To get a slot, send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the date and a two-hour arrival window. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busiest windows of the year our calendar fills, so booking early is the simplest way to get the date you want. We call before we come, and the crew checks in again when it is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside and does not come into the house, so windows inside are not part of this visit. For a job of this kind, we bring professional window cleaning equipment and a water-fed pole for upper stories, so there is no need for a lift on most homes. Commercial buildings and multi-story buildings get a slightly different plan, scoped on the site, but the same two-person crew handles them.
Two signs that a visit should move up are clogged gutters and glass dirty enough to show water damage on the frame. Clean glass and gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, which matters most on the street-facing side of the house. You do not need to call before the next scheduled date for these, just let us know when you see them.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Gutter water runs down the wall and across the glass, so the order matters. We handle both so you get one appointment and one bill.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, so we give it to you by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the price before any work starts, then schedule service for the date you pick.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what dulls a residential window here. Pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the exterior, and they are the reason the glass looks hazy when the sun is low. Cleaning the inside alone leaves the exterior dirty, so clean windows inside still look hazy from the street.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the pollen drop, and again in the fall, after the leaves come down. Those two visits keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear through the year. Storm seasons can shift the timing, so we check the calendar against the weather.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and water come down the wall, so the glass is done only after the gutters and downspouts have stopped dripping. That is the reason we do both in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and every window on the outside of the house gets the same treatment. Tracks are included on exterior glass. If a window is too dirty to clean the sill without a separate pass, the crew will tell you before doing extra work.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, so we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on residential properties. If you want the inside done, we can schedule that as a separate visit with the same crew.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked so the crew can reach the back of the house.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
