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. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across California, most homeowners who book this do it in the spring and fall, when leaves and grime build up fastest, and that is when our crew does the most of its work.
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.

Several things move the quote. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach safely. Window count and oversized panes change how long the glass takes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more time at the bottom of each run. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it and quote it separately if it is present. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
For an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. We will reply with the quote before we book anything, and it does not change when the crew arrives. Pollen is heavier on the glass in the spring, and window and gutter cleaning booked for that same visit keeps it to one trip. Cleaning solutions we use are chosen for exterior glass, and the crew brings them, so you do not need to buy anything first.
We do residential and commercial work, and the cleanings we schedule on a commercial account are priced per building. For homes, the price is per house. Picture windows are a common reason a quote goes up, because each pane takes more time to reach and dry. Our regular cleanings are the cheapest way to keep the price down over time, since clogged gutters that go unchecked for a season turn a simple run into a longer job. If you want the interior and exterior of the same windows done, that is quoted separately.

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 both jobs twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On our Morro Bay jobs, the spring visit comes in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In June we see pollen settle as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutter elbows. In late fall the leaf load is the main job, and the wet mat sits heavy in the gutters and downspouts. Rain moves the timing too: the wettest months here are January, February and March, so a late-winter storm can shift when a fall visit feels necessary.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps debris coming in between visits, and a sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that overflow in a storm send runoff down the siding, and that is where water damage starts. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the average lot, and each visit is also a chance to remove dirt before it bakes onto the glass. Multi-story buildings also tend to need a closer look between cleanings, because the upper runs are harder to check from the ground.
You will know the glass needs attention when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Those are the two signs we look for, and either one is a good reason to call.
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 the exterior of residential properties across Morro Bay, and the window and gutter cleaning is booked the same way for every house. Start with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We will confirm the quote and the open dates back to you, usually within a day or two outside the busy windows.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop. During those weeks our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your slot. Outside them, there is usually room to schedule service on the next available date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew lets you know when they are on the way.
Every residential window we clean is done from the outside, with purified water so clean windows dry without spotting. Each sill gets wiped down as part of the visit, and clean glass does more for curb appeal than most people expect. Professional window cleaning is booked the same way: if you have a question about a specific window or the schedule, ask when you book and we will walk you through it so there are no surprises on the day.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and the gutter work are done by the same two people in one visit, and we do the gutters first. Doing both together means one setup on each side of the house instead of two trips.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. If the home is a condo, tell us when you text and we will quote from the building details. Send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front.
On the houses we see here, the outside carries most of the grime: dust, rain spatter and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass first. Cleaning the outside alone often makes the biggest visible difference.
Across California, most of our customers book in the spring and the fall. Here in Morro Bay, the spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and we can plan around storms.
Not if the order is right. We clear gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and runoff from the runs are gone before anyone touches the windows below.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit. We do not bill them as extras.
Not on this visit. Our cleaning services cover the exterior glass only, and pressure washing is not among the washing services on this job. We do not clean windows inside the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. Text us a photo of the roofline if you want us to check it before we come.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
