The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Orcutt jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when dust and leaves build up fastest on residential properties. Call (866) 435-6328 for an estimate and we will tell you the number we will charge before anyone climbs a ladder.
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 washing services are priced by stories and approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Booking window washing and gutter cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and we will quote the bundle before we schedule service for your date. Our window cleaning services cover every window on the outside of the house, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Stories and steep roofs take more time on the ladder. Window count and large picture windows change the work on the glass. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not removed by cleaning, and neither is grime that has baked onto the glass, so we note both and tell you what they are before we leave.
To get an exact number, tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows the house has, and text us a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote the job by phone or text. On an Orcutt job we like to know whether the house has heavy tree cover too, since it changes how often the gutters fill. Work on our side is planned in advance, so you hear the quote before the crew is booked for your 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.
Across California, most of our customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the spring and fall calendar. On our Orcutt jobs the timing follows the seasons: a spring visit to clear the pollen film from south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters, and a fall visit to clear the leaf load before the rain starts.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In the spring we see a dusty film on the glass and a paste of seed and sap in the elbows of the downspouts. In the fall the leaf load is heavier and the gutters hold wet mats that can sag under weight. Storms and wind seasons move the dates, so we confirm the timing when you call. Regular cleanings are scheduled by the calendar, not by whatever is in the gutter that week.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than average, and a visit or two a year will not remove dirt that builds up between cleanings. If one of these describes your house, we will tell you on the first visit and suggest a schedule that fits it.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze that only shows when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 Orcutt, and we book it the same way for every house: you give us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a quote by phone or text covering every window. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we tell you the next open date when you call. In the two busy windows of the year, when tree litter and leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills first, so booking early keeps your date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we call before we come. We work with professional window cleaning equipment, purified water and gentle cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without a film, and we clear the gutters and downspouts so runoff does not stain the clean glass later. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage at the eaves, which is one reason we clean them on the same visit.
Our cleaning services also cover multi-story buildings and larger properties, both residential and commercial, and we have the same two people on the job from start to finish. If your house has more than three stories, tell us when you book so the crew brings equipment sized for it. Clean glass also helps curb appeal, and the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, in one visit. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not reach the clean windows.
Call (866) 435-6328 and we give the number from the stories and the approximate window count, for a house or for one of the condos. The quote is the number we charge, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips.
On our Orcutt jobs the outside carries most of the dirt: a spring film, dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Cleaning the outside keeps the view clear even when the inside is already clean. Our quote covers the exterior only, so if you want the interior and exterior seen on one schedule, tell us when you book.
On our jobs most customers book in late spring, after the spring dust settles, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. Tell us when you call and we will set the date that fits your house.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last: the roof is cleared, the gutters are flushed, and the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on request, and they are included in the quote rather than billed as extras on the day.
On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit, so those are not part of the quote.
No, 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 the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
