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 two separate trips. On our Palmdale jobs, most customers book it in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf load are heaviest.
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 window and gutter cleaning by stories and window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no change at the ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 with the stories and a rough count of windows, and we will quote it before the truck is booked. The same stories and window count set the number on residential and commercial buildings.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that takes more time to reach safely, oversized picture windows that need more handling, gutters that have not been cleared in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Where a lift is needed, we bring a boom or scissor lift rather than climbing the siding, which is one reason a bundle visit runs smoothly on larger houses. Cleanings on our schedule are planned so the crew can move from the gutter run to the glass without a second setup, and the cleaning solutions are included in the quote. For a house with a lot of glass or several runs of gutter, a photo of the front of the house by text lets us check the access before we quote. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this quote covers the exterior only.
On our Palmdale jobs, the number that moves a quote most is the stories, followed by how many windows face the street. One customer with a two-story house and no tree cover booked a single visit for the gutters and the outside glass, and the quote came from the window count and two downspouts that needed flushing. A similar house with heavy trees over the roof is quoted higher, because the gutters fill faster and the crew has to clear more debris before the glass is touched.
To get the exact number, tell us the stories, the rough window count, and whether the gutters have been cleaned in the last year. A photo of the front of the house by text is enough for us to see the access, and we will call you back with the figure before anything is booked.
| 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.
On our Palmdale jobs, most of our customers book regular cleanings of both gutters and windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why our window cleaners also run the gutters in one visit. The spring visit comes after the bloom has settled, and the fall visit comes after the leaves have dropped and before the first hard rains.
In spring the pollen film shows up on south-facing glass and the sticky paste packs the gutters, especially at the elbows and the downspout outlets. In fall the leaf load is what we find, a wet mat in the gutters that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move the exact dates for cleaning services, so we call the week before to confirm the booking.
Multi-story buildings often need a third visit, since the upper gutter runs are harder to reach. Heavy tree cover over the roof means clogged gutters fill faster, and needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and when the gutters back up, the overflow can cause water damage at the fascia. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that settles on the sill and the lower panes within weeks. Professional window cleaning on a set schedule keeps that from building up.
A house with no overhanging trees and a clear sky line usually stays on the twice-a-year schedule, and the visits stay short and predictable. A house under heavy trees with a sprinkler line hitting the front windows is the one that tends to need three or four visits a year, so the spotting does not build up on the glass.
You will know the windows need it when you see a haze you only notice when the sun is low, which hurts curb appeal from the street. The film is usually on the outside of the glass, so it is easy to miss from the windows inside the house. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a heavy rain instead of running into the downspout. Either sign is worth a call, and we will tell you what we find before we clean anything you did not ask us to.
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 has worked across the residential properties of Palmdale, handling residential window and gutter jobs on streets with tree cover, older gutters and sprinkler lines that set the schedule. We work the whole city, so if you are unsure whether your street is covered, call and we will check the access for your house.
To schedule service for window and gutter cleaning, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. Tell us the number of stories and the approximate window count, and we count every window on the front before we quote. Lead time depends on the season, and we confirm the date when we quote, so you know when the crew will arrive before you commit.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and fall, when the spring bloom and the leaf load are heaviest and our calendar fills. Booking early in those windows gives you the date you want. Outside them, we can often fit a visit sooner, and the crew wipes the sill on every window before it leaves, so you get clean windows on the day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and we will tell you the arrival window the day before. The crew works from the outside, so you do not need to clear the inside of the house, and the photos of every gutter run and the finished glass go to your phone before the crew leaves.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the grime that comes off the gutters does not run back onto clean panes.
We do not give a figure on this page because the number depends on the stories, the window count and what is in the gutters. Tell us those by phone or text, and we will give you the number we charge before the truck is booked.
On our Palmdale jobs, the outside carries most of the rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so the glass looks hazy even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt from the glass and frames that people see from the street.
Our Palmdale customers book in spring and fall, after the spring bloom and after the leaves drop. Those are the two windows when our calendar fills, so booking early gives you the date you want.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves, grit and runoff come down the wall and across any window below, so the glass is done after the water has stopped.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned as part of the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
Our exterior washing services cover the outside glass only, so we do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing. If you need the inside done, tell us and we will point you to who does it.
No, you do not need to be home, whether it is a house or condos. 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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
