Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the 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, most of our customers book this in the spring and fall, when the leaf drop and grit 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.
We price by stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, with no add-on surprises at the end of the day.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder: a third story or a steep roof, a large count of window washing work across picture windows and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years, guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We quote exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never bundled into one price.
Across California, we find the exact number is easiest to get from your stories, your window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Our window cleaning services are quoted from those three details, and the washing services on the bundle follow the same rule. Our crews handle the regular cleanings on a schedule that fits the house, so the same number holds from one visit to the next.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate before any work is booked.

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.
Across California, most customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Each visit finds something different on the glass and in the runs. The pollen film settles on south-facing windows in the spring, and the pollen paste packs into the downspout elbows at the same time. In the fall the leaf load turns into a wet mat that sits in the gutters through the first rains. The same timing holds for residential and commercial buildings, since leaf drop and sap do not check the zoning.
Storm and wind seasons move these dates, so we book around them rather than on a fixed calendar. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters within a few months, and a house on that schedule needs a third visit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses also need more frequent passes. Multi-story buildings take a longer setup, so the crew plans those visits with more time on the ladder. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster on the glass and needs the same treatment. The wettest months are January through March, and clogged gutters left through that stretch can lead to water damage at the fascia.
Our crews look for the sign that windows need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low. For gutters, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Our crew rinses the glass with purified water, so cleaning solutions are not left on the frames to draw dust. The dust that builds up outside never reaches the windows inside, so the outside needs its own visit. We do not give DIY instructions for this, because the ladder work is the part that causes the damage.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will tell you whether your street is on the crew's schedule. Our cleaning services cover the glass, the gutters and downspouts, and you can book all of it with one call. Some window cleaners skip the gutters entirely, so this crew does both on one visit. Booking runs by phone or text: you send the number of stories and a photo, we send a written estimate, and we set the date. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call, so you can schedule service around it.
The two busy windows are the spring and the fall, when our calendar fills fastest because the leaves and spring grit are heaviest. If you book early in those windows, you get the slot you want. We want a professional window cleaning crew at every house, which is why we send the same two people to each job.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Every window gets the same attention, including the sill and the frame, and we schedule service around your day rather than ours. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last, so there is no second trip.
Our window cleaning services are priced from the stories and the size of the house, and condos and townhomes follow the same rule. We give the number by phone or text from those details.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust, the grit and the sprinkler spots that never reach the inside. The water-fed pole we use can remove dirt from upper panes without a ladder on the siding. We see it on the glass every visit.
Across California, most residential properties book in the spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to see the first open date for your house.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts, flush the runs, and let the wall drip before we touch a pane, so the runoff does not reach the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are cleaned as part of the residential window work.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
