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 dripping off the roof 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 the homeowners who book us do it in spring and fall, once the seed drop has settled and before the leaves are down.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Professional window cleaning and gutter work are priced together, so you see one figure for the whole job.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew sees from the ladder, and they show up most on multi-story buildings: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years and 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 as part of the job, along with screen rinsing and sill wiping, and none of it is billed as an extra.
Across California, the simplest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. Montebello houses vary a lot from one street to the next, so a photo beats a guess. We will tell you on the phone what it will cost, and we will stick to it. Ask for a written estimate if you want one before you book, and call (866) 435-6328 when you are ready to set a date.

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 customers book regular cleanings of gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California, the spring visit lands in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. What we find at each visit is consistent: the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring, the leaf load in the fall, and storm or wind seasons that shift the dates from year to year.
Some houses need a third visit. We see it most often under heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Houses close to a busy road or active construction also collect more grime on the glass and need closer checks. A house with few or no trees and no sprinkler problem usually does well with one visit a year, in late fall.
The sign that windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. Clogged gutters show it: water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Left alone, an overflowing gutter can lead to water damage on the fascia and siding below. If you see any of these between visits, call us and we will look at it.
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 book window and gutter cleaning in Montebello by phone or text: call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We will give you an estimate and a date. Lead time and the residential and commercial areas we cover are listed on our booking page for this city, and both move with the calendar, so check before you call. Our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, the spring seed drop and the fall leaf drop, so if you can book early in either window you will have more choice of day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know when to expect us. The glass is done with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, which lets us remove dirt without leaving streaks. For residential properties, whether it is a residential window job or a clean windows walk-around, we cover every window on the exterior, including upper stories from the pole. Each visit is scheduled as a single service so the gutters and the glass come off the same list.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the runoff from the gutters off the clean glass below.
We do not quote from a general figure. The number comes from the number of stories, the window count and what is in the gutters, and you get it by phone or text before we book. The number we give is the number we charge.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what you see. Here it is dust film, rain grime and sprinkler spots, and those sit on the glass whether or not the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is what lifts the curb appeal and removes dirt that has built up since the last visit.
Across California, most customers book in mid to late June for the spring visit and in late November to December for the fall visit. Those are the windows when the debris loads are heaviest, so booking early in either one gets you a better choice of day.
Not if we do the work in order. We clear the gutters, flush every downspout and let the wall stop dripping before anyone touches the glass, so the grit and black water from the gutters cannot come down onto the panes we just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the same visit when they are reachable from the outside. None of it is billed as an extra line.
Our washing services cover the exterior only on this visit, so we do not clean the inside of the glass, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need interior and exterior glass done on one visit, or pressure washing, you will need a different service.
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 ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of the condos on a shared lot, mention it when you book so we can plan access. Otherwise, that is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
