Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, our crews book this pairing most often in the spring and fall, which is when the dust and leaf load build up enough to matter on both the glass and the gutters.
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 services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Your starting point is the number of stories on the house, the approximate count of exterior windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text, which lets us check the roofline before we quote.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the price. Stories and steep roofs take longer to reach. Window count goes up with oversized panes and picture windows that need the pole and a second setup. Gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves take more hand work, and gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time we account for before the visit. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove, and we say so on the visit rather than surprising you with it on the invoice.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras. Our crew hauls the debris away rather than blowing it onto the lawn or the walkway, and the crew will remove dirt from the elbows before leaving, so there is no cleanup left for you.
On our Norwalk jobs, the number that changes most often is the window count, because many houses have more glass on the back and side than owners remember. Counting windows from the street is easy to get wrong, so ask us to walk the outside of the house during the estimate rather than guessing. A property with a few tall windows and a large number of small ones can land on very different quotes even at the same square footage, which is why we ask for the stories and the window count before we give a number.
Gutters and downspouts on a single-story house are usually quicker, while a two-story house with the same window count takes the boom or scissor lift to reach the upper gutter line and the upper glass. Multi-story buildings and tall homes on sloped lots bring extra setup time, and we quote those from the photo and the lot description instead of estimating blindly.
When we clean gutters and downspouts on a house with a lot of tree cover, the crew spends longer clearing clogged gutters and the grit that packs the elbows, and that shows up in the quote. Runoff from the roof carries that grit down the wall and onto the glass below, which is why the glass is handled after the gutters are finished. The grime on lower windows near the downspout outlet is usually the first place the difference shows.
For a condos complex or a shared building, the quote is per building and based on how many gutter runs and how many exterior windows each building has. We send a written estimate after a walkthrough of the common areas, and we do not quote from a single photo for a multi-building property. Ask for the written estimate before you book, so the number on the page matches the number on the invoice.
To get your exact number, send us the number of stories, your approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. Then we can give you the price on the phone and hold the date on the calendar while you decide.

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 Norwalk customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Pollen settles on south-facing glass and builds into a paste in the gutters during the spring months, and leaves and wet debris load the same gutters in fall.
In the spring visit, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing our crew sees, along with the sticky paste packed into the downspout elbows. The glass shows a yellow-green dust that smears when touched, and the gutters carry the same material down to the outlet. In the fall visit, the leaf load is what changes the job, with wet leaves matting in the gutters and the grit they hold running down the wall after every rain.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the year, and a house under big trees may need cleanings every three or four months rather than twice. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round white spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those are mineral deposits rather than dirt, so the schedule does not fix them on its own. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film on the glass faster than a quiet street, and that film is worth catching before it builds.
Our crews have seen both patterns on Norwalk residential properties. Where a house has no trees and no sprinkler spotting, one visit a year in late fall is usually enough to keep the gutters flowing and the glass clean through the winter, and regular cleanings only start to matter when the trees or the sprinklers change.
You know a window needs cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, the glass looks dull in side light, or the view through the picture window has a film on it. You know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout, or when the water splashes back onto the wall below the run.
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 across Norwalk and the surrounding area, and we clean gutters and the outside of windows for residential and commercial properties, including multi-story buildings. We have worked across the city, and the call often starts with a property that has a backlog of gutter cleaning services and window cleaning services, with exterior glass that has not been touched in a year. Booking runs through a phone call or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and the crew confirms the slot before the day of the visit.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills fastest in those months. If you are booking in one of those windows, call (866) 435-6328 early in the week to schedule service, so the slot is confirmed before the calendar tightens. Typical lead time is a programmatic field, so the date we give you on the phone is the date we hold.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew calls before we arrive so you know when to expect us. We do not come inside, so there is nothing to move beyond the cars on the driveway and any pets kept indoors while the ladders are up.
We are working with professional window cleaning crews who bring their own water and power, so the job runs without tying up your outdoor outlets or hose bib. The crew uses purified water on the glass rather than cleaning solutions to dry without streaks, and the same visit covers the gutters, which is why the bundle saves a second trip.
If you have a larger property or a building that has been neglected for a while, let us know on the estimate so the crew can plan for the extra time. Water damage around the foundation or the fascia is something the crew will photograph and report, not something we clean over, and the call that follows is yours to make.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, so you are not paying for two trips. The crew does the gutters first and the glass last, because gutter runoff splashes onto clean glass if the windows are done first. Booking both in one visit is usually the simpler call.
We give the number on the phone or by text, based on the number of stories and the residential window count. We check every window on the house before we give the number, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. Send a photo of the front of the house so we can check the roofline before we quote.
Yes, because the outside carries most of what dulls the glass here. Dust film, rain grit and sprinkler spotting all land on the outside first, and cleaning the inside does nothing about them. Clean windows on the outside also do the most for curb appeal, since that is the part of the house people see from the street and the yard.
Most of our Norwalk customers book in late spring after the pollen drops and again in late fall after the leaves come down. Those two windows are when our calendar fills, so call early in the week to lock in a date. Across California the same spring and fall pattern holds for most houses.
It will if the windows are cleaned first, which is why our crew does the gutters first and the glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and water come down the wall and across any window below it, so the glass gets its final pass after the gutters are finished and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the tracks on the outside are cleaned as part of the job. Downspout flushing is included too, and none of it is billed as an extra line. If a screen is damaged, the crew notes it on the visit rather than repairing it.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. The windows inside stay as they are, and interior and exterior glass are quoted as separate jobs; we also do not do pressure washing of the siding. If you need the interior glass done, ask for a separate estimate so the crew can plan the time.
You do not need to be home for exterior work, since the crew works outside and does not come inside. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. The crew texts a photo of every gutter run and the finished glass before they leave. To book, call (866) 435-6328.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
