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 doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of the homes we service book this pair in the spring and fall, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
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.
Our window washing quote starts with the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking two separate cleaning services, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send a written estimate for the washing services.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts are cleared in the same visit, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Our price covers exterior glass only: we do not clean windows inside, and we do not quote interior and exterior glass as one job or add pressure washing to this visit.
Across California, the houses that run the most time are the ones with heavy grime on the upper panes and a lot of dirt to remove, picture windows that need a boom or scissor lift, and gutters that take regular cleanings to stay clear. Before we quote, tell us how many stories the house has, roughly how many windows face the street, and whether the gutters have been done recently. That is enough for us to give you a number you can plan around.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |
| Three stories | from $295 | from $330 | from $495 |
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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, and we schedule both on the same calendar with one crew. On our jobs, the spring visit, usually mid to late June across California, clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste that packs the gutters. The fall visit, which falls in late November to December across California, clears the wet leaf load before the heavy rain.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, often need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and we tell you that on the first visit so you know what you are seeing. A house near a busy road or a construction site tends to collect more grime between visits.
Two signs tell you a window needs cleaning sooner: a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a sheen of dust that rain has left in streaks. The sign that a gutter needs attention is runoff sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout, and clogged gutters left that way can cause water damage at the fascia. Cleaning solutions and rinse water are our own, and we use purified water so the glass dries without streaks. Ask us about a cleaning schedule that fits your house.
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 houses across California and book the first available slot by phone or text. To start, send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will give you a written estimate. Our window cleaning services are delivered by professional window cleaning crews, and each visit is scheduled in advance so the two of us can plan the boom or scissor lift and the ladder placement before we arrive. Multi-story buildings are quoted by the number of stories, so tell us the count before we visit, and if the building is a residential and commercial mix, call first so we can confirm access. In the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills, we book the earliest open date and hold it for you.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we text photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the upper floors and the sill beneath each one, and windows inside are not part of this visit. We treat each job as a whole-house visit so the curb appeal of the place is handled in one trip. Our crew cleans the gutters first and the windows last, so runoff from the gutters never runs back down the glass.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328, or text us a photo of the roofline and we will reply with a date and time. If you prefer a written quote first, ask and we send it the same day we get your photo.
Yes. The same two people do both, gutters first and glass last, so the gutter water does not run onto clean windows. You get one visit and one invoice for the job.
We give the number from the stories and the approximate window count, by phone or text, and condos are quoted the same way from a photo of the building face. We do not quote a figure here because the size of the house decides it. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will send a written estimate.
On our residential window jobs, the outside of the glass carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is usually where the haze comes from. Cleaning the inside does not clear that.
Most of our residential properties here book in the spring and the fall, after the pollen and before the leaves freeze down. Both visits run on the same calendar, so one booking covers both.
Not if the order is right. We clear the roof, the gutters and the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. That is the reason we do gutters first.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the window job. Tracks are included in the visit. None of these is billed as an extra line item.
No. We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit. We do not do inside windows or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. We text photos of every run before we leave.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
