Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Our Pasadena customers usually book in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up on the house.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely, and multi-story buildings need more setup than a single-story house. Oversized picture windows and a high count of small panes add time at the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a run that was cleaned last season. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add to the job, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
The price covers the outside glass only, so ask about the interior and exterior split when you call and it is settled before the crew arrives. Pressure washing is not part of this visit. For your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will give you the figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Our crew keeps the cleaning solutions to what the glass and gutters actually need, which keeps the process simple for residential and commercial buildings alike.

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 Pasadena customers book both gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
What we find on each visit is predictable. In the spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and clogged gutters packed with tree debris. In the fall the leaf load builds up, and wind or storm seasons can move the dates. Houses under heavy tree cover, with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or near a busy road or a construction site often need a third visit. Sprinkler spots come back a day after cleaning, and that is the sign a house needs the extra visit. Most window cleaners will tell you the same thing, and many of the professional window cleaning jobs we do end up on that shorter schedule for that reason.
Our crew sees the same pattern on every street. A customer with no trees on the lot is usually on twice a year. A customer under trees or with sprinkler spotting is on three or four visits, because the debris and runoff build up faster between cleanings. Regular cleanings keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear, and they stop small problems from turning into water damage at the fascia.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain. Until then, it is a good idea to keep an eye on the house between visits, since curb appeal suffers first when the haze and spotting build up.
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 Pasadena, and our cleaning services bundle window and gutter cleaning into one visit to every window on the house. Condos are quoted the same way as a house, by stories and window count. Booking is simple. Call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate by phone or text. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when you call.
Two windows of the year fill fastest, the spring months and the fall leaf months. If you want a set date during those weeks, call early and we will schedule service for the open slot that fits your house. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our residential properties and our commercial buildings get the same care, and we will work with you to schedule service around your routine.
When the crew arrives, they start with the gutters and finish with the glass. You get a clear result on each pane, from the top of the house to the sill. We do the residential window and gutter cleaning that homeowners ask for here, and we keep the schedule simple.
Yes, our crew does both in the same visit. Our window cleaning services follow the same order as the gutter work, gutters first and glass last, so the debris from the gutters never lands on clean windows.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo, and we give you the number from those details.
Outside glass carries tree dust, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up even when the windows inside are clean. Outside cleaning removes the grime the weather leaves on the glass, and it is the only way to remove dirt from that side of the pane.
Most of our customers book our cleaning services in late spring and in late fall. Those are the months when the leaves build up, and they are the busiest weeks for our crew.
Not if the order is right. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and wash the glass last, so the leaves, grit and runoff come down before anyone washes a pane.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services, and tracks are included on the same visit. We will tell you on the phone if anything needs extra time.
We clean the outside of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 with any questions.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
