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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of the homes we clean get the job done in the spring and 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Doing the gutters and the windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A steep roof or a third story takes more time on the ladder. A high window count, or oversized panes, adds glass to the job. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are purified water only, so there is nothing to wipe off afterward. Quotes cover the exterior only, and a request for interior and exterior glass is a separate job we price on its own. Washing the windows inside is a separate quote, not a surcharge on this visit.
On our Monterey Park jobs, the quickest way to get an exact number is to call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. Some of the jobs we see here carry a lot of window glass across the front, and the window count is what separates a quick visit from a long one. A homeowner can also tell us whether the picture windows face the street or the back yard, because that changes how many ladder setups we need. The gutters and the glass both come up in the first conversation, so you hear the full number once, before anyone climbs. If you already know the window count, send it along; if not, a rough count from the front and the sides is enough for a quote, and we confirm it when we walk the house.
Any roof work we find while cleaning is photographed and sent to you. We do not do repairs or sell parts on the spot, so the report stands on its own. Regular cleanings make later quotes simpler, because the crew already knows the gutter runs and the window count.
| 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 homes get gutters and exterior windows cleaned twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and both run on the same calendar. Our spring visits usually land in mid to late June, and fall visits run late November to December. Professional window cleaning follows that calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for most houses. Plenty of window cleaners stop at the glass, so pairing the windows with the gutters is the part most homes miss.
In the spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters. In the fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs. Monterey Park gets about 15.7 inches of rain a year, most of it in January, February and March, so the wettest stretch is when the runs take the most load. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so storm timing can move the dates, and we book around it rather than on a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Clogged gutters are the usual reason: heavy tree cover drops needles and grit that pack the downspouts between visits. 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 grime faster than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings add ladder setups, and each extra floor adds time. Clogged gutters are also one way water damage starts on a wall, because the overflow runs down the siding below. The runoff from a clogged run is what stains the siding first. Clean glass does a lot for curb appeal, especially on the street side.
You will know the windows need attention when the haze shows up only at low sun. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Either one is a reason to call us before the next season. Regular cleanings on a set calendar keep the buildup from getting ahead of the crew.
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 gutters and downspouts and exterior windows across Monterey Park, and the crew handles the whole residential window and gutter cleaning job in one trip. Our window cleaning services serve residential properties, and every window on the outside gets done on the same visit. Our cleaning services cover the exterior glass, the frames and sills, and the gutters on that same visit. The crew uses a water-fed pole to remove dirt from every reachable pane, so nothing has to be propped against the siding. Booking runs by phone or text, starting with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our washing services are priced by the stories and the window count, so the number is set before anyone climbs. Lead time is set by the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year fill first, so we book those early.
We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, because the crew does not come inside. For clean windows and clear gutters on the same visit, we schedule service around the order of work, roof and gutters first, glass last, so every window gets done once and the sill and frame are wiped last.
Yes. The same two people do both, and they do it in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We quote condos the same way, by stories and window count.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before anyone climbs. We work on residential and commercial buildings, but this page covers residential properties only, so a commercial building is quoted on its own after we see it.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so it gets dirty even when the inside is clean.
Across California, most of our customers book in spring and fall. Ask us and we tell you which window fits your house.
No. Gutter runoff is the reason we clean gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs down onto the windows we have already done.
Yes. Our window cleaning services include screen rinsing and sill wiping, and tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. The crew uses a pole, not a ladder, to remove dirt from upper-floor glass.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior work is quoted separately, and pressure washing is not part of this job. If you also want the windows inside done, say so when you call.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
