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 in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across California, this is the combination most of our customers book in spring and fall, and it is the job our crew does every week.
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, both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate trips, 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 third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A large window count or oversized picture windows takes longer on the glass. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hands and more hauling. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no window washing removes, and we tell you that before we start. Grime on the sill is a separate question from the dust, and we say so on the phone. Cleaning the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Some customers ask for interior and exterior glass together; this visit covers the exterior only.
Across California, most of the residential properties we clean are two-story homes on the same regular cleaning schedule. Window washing and washing services on the same house come from one estimate, so the window cleaning services and the gutter work land on one number. The owners who ask for the exact number send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, or call (866) 435-6328, and we come back with a figure before anyone books a date.
| 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 of our customers book both twice a year, in spring and in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for that schedule.
In spring we find pollen dust on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. In fall the leaf load is what fills the runs, and storm and wind seasons move the dates from year to year. Where a pane needs more than water, the crew picks the cleaning solutions for that glass. A window and gutter visit done on that calendar catches both problems before they set.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters are the first sign of it. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. Runoff that stands in a clogged run can lead to water damage on the fascia. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime that the rain does not clear, and someone has to remove dirt from the glass by hand. On those houses we plan three or four visits a year. Multi-story buildings get a plan made on the first visit, and the same ladder method applies to residential and commercial glass.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The windows inside the house are not part of this visit. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you which schedule your house needs after the first visit.
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 crew works across Orange and the houses and condos around it, and the fastest way to schedule service is to text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We come back with an estimate, and the booking is confirmed by phone. Our lead time is listed on the booking page, and we do not promise a service window we cannot keep.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen period and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in both. Book early in those months if you want a fixed date. We call before we come, and we confirm the arrival window the day before. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we do not come inside. Our window cleaners work from the outside of every residential window in the scope, and every window gets the same care, including the sill. We offer professional window cleaning and gutter service through the same booking, and our cleaning services cover the same houses in Orange, so you deal with one crew for both jobs.
Yes. The same two people do both jobs in one visit, gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so runoff from the roof does not run down onto clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. We quote residential properties and condos the same way, by phone or text, and that quote is the number on the invoice.
On our Orange jobs the outside picks up pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so this visit is where we remove dirt from the exterior glass.
Most of our customers here book in the spring pollen month and again in the fall leaf month. Across California the two windows are spring and fall.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. That order is the reason for doing both in one visit.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are included in the visit. None of it shows up as a separate line on the invoice.
We clean the exterior glass of each residential window on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
