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 nothing from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Across California, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and fall, when tree dust and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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.

On our jobs, a few things move the quote. Multi-story buildings take more time on the ladder, and so does a roof too steep to walk. Oversized panes and a large count of picture windows take longer to reach and finish. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more hand clearing. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can get at the run underneath. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Flushing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens to remove dirt, and wiping the sill of each window are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What we see on the glass in the months before our visit is usually pollen, rain dust, road grime and the occasional sprinkler spot. Each of those takes different cleaning solutions and a different amount of work, which is part of why the price is set by the house. The fastest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and rough window count. Residential and commercial addresses take the same first step, so text us the address and we say whether the crew takes the job. We will reply with a figure and tell you what we need to see on the day to confirm it.

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 customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and regular cleanings on that schedule keep the gutters and glass from building up. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June, after the seed drop, and the fall visit lands in late November to December, after the leaves are down. Those are the windows where the gutters and the glass are at their worst.
At each visit we find the same kinds of things. In the spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and seed paste packs the gutters and elbows. In the fall, the leaf load is what we clear first, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see runs that sagged under the weight by the next season, and water damage follows when the gutter overflows onto the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, and the heaviest rain of the year comes in a few days in the wetter months, so the timing of the visit matters more than people expect.
Some houses need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and that is how clogged gutters start. 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 picks up a faster film on the windows, and condos on the same street need the same schedule, because the runoff from the roof carries that film down the glass. For these, a third visit in the middle of the year keeps the gutters clear and the glass where it should be, which also helps curb appeal. Windows need attention when you start to see haze only in low sun, and gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in 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 Osos, and the book-ahead time depends on the season, so we will confirm your window when we speak. Plenty of people search for window cleaners and gutter companies separately, but the same crew handles both here. Booking is simple: call or text us, tell us the number of stories and the approximate window count, and send a photo of the house front. We use that to give you a number before anything is scheduled. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
The two busiest windows of the year line up with the leaf months, and our calendar fills up fastest then. If you want a slot in those weeks, booking early keeps the date. Outside those windows there is usually more room, and we can often give a clean window to a homeowner who calls with a little notice. Our window cleaning services cover professional window cleaning on the outside of the house, and window and gutter cleaning runs off the same booking. Our washing services reach residential properties, and we work to clean windows that have been left through the season, including each residential window on the outside of the house.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. Every window on the outside of the house, sill included, is in the estimate, and we will tell you what we will reach from the ground and what needs the lift. Some customers ask about windows inside the house as well; the estimate covers the outside only.
Yes. Our cleaning services put the same two-person crew on the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front, and we will give you a figure before anything is booked.
Usually, yes, because road grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside first, and that is true of condos as well as houses. Those are the layers that cloud the glass in low sun, and the inside does not fix them.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and the fall, which is when leaves and dust are heaviest on the house.
No, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass is washed first, the runoff from the roof runs down the wall and across it, so we do not work that way.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, and sills are wiped as part of our washing services. Tracks are included on the outside of the house.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service. This page covers houses, so for residential and commercial buildings, text us the address first and we will say whether the crew takes the job.
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. Text us if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
