Yes, 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 both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Our crew does this work across California, and most of our customers book it in the spring and the fall.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Booking the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking two separate jobs, whether you call it window washing, washing services or window cleaning services, and we tell you the exact difference when we quote.
On the day, the crew finds the same few things that move the quote. A third story or a steep roof takes longer on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized panes, adds time at the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the water can run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the time. Hard-water spotting and runoff left by sprinklers will not come off with a cleaning, and we say so before we start. Grime that has built up on the sills for months takes a second pass, and we flag it on the call. The crew uses a water-fed pole to remove dirt from the upper panes without a ladder. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Ask for the number by text as well: send a photo of the front of the house, tell us the stories, and give a rough window count. That gets you an exact figure without a site visit. Our crew works across California, and the quote is built from the same inputs wherever the house sits, whether it is a single-family home or one of the condos on a shared block. Call (866) 435-6328 or text the photo and we will come back with a written estimate for the day you pick.

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 of our customers book the window and gutter visit twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Each visit catches the buildup from its own season, so the timing matters more than the number of visits on paper.
In the spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and a pollen paste forms in the gutters. On our jobs the spring visit is when the downspout elbows show the most seed and fine dust packed inside. The crew uses cleaning solutions on the glass only where the film is heavy, and plain purified water for the rest. In the fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet leaf mat sits in the gutters through the rain. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we book the slot when the houses in your area are showing the buildup, not on a fixed calendar. The same timing holds for a residential and commercial property, since the buildup follows the season, not the type of building.
Some homes need a third visit on top of the regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them, and large picture windows show them first. A house near a busy road or a construction site takes on more dust than a quiet street. If your house falls into one of those groups, we will tell you after the first visit and put the extra slot on the calendar.
You can tell when windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low and hits the glass at an angle. You can tell gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is a good reason to call. Text a photo of the roofline and we will say which one you are seeing. The visit covers the outside glass only, and interior and exterior work is a separate job we quote on the phone.
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 crews work with professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning across the state, and the same two people handle both on each visit. We handle residential window work and residential properties of every size on the same calendar. We keep the calendar open for the busy windows so that window cleaning services can run on the schedule the house needs. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal from the street. Clients ask whether one company can handle both, and the answer is yes, without a second booking or a second visit.
To schedule service, call or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a written estimate. Our crew does not handle windows inside on this visit, so there is nothing to move indoors. The lead time depends on the season and on how full the crew calendar is at the time you ask, and we tell you the first open day when you call. When the calendar fills, usually in the two busy windows of the year, it is worth booking early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew calls before they come. Our estimate covers every window on the house, including the ones on the back and side walls. Clogged gutters that are left too long can lead to water damage at the fascia and the wall below, which is one reason the cleaning is scheduled before the rain rather than after it. Multi-story buildings and window cleaners who work above the second floor need the right setup, and our crew brings it. Give us a call at (866) 435-6328 to book the first open day.
Yes. Window and gutter cleaning is one job for our crew, done on the same visit, so you deal with one company and one bill. Gutters are done first, and the glass is done once the gutters have stopped dripping.
The number comes from the stories, the house size and the residential window count, and we give it by phone or text for residential properties of every size. We do not quote a figure without seeing those inputs.
Yes, because the outside collects a film of seed and grit, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Keeping clean windows on the outside is what changes how the house looks from the street. Inside glass is a separate question and is quoted separately.
Across California, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. To schedule service for either season, call or text us with the stories and a photo, and we give you the first open day.
No, that is why gutters come first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and every window gets its frame done as part of the job. They are not billed as extras, and we say so before we start.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, and we do not do pressure washing. If you want the inside done, that is a separate arrangement we can discuss on the phone.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, 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.
