Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners who book us do it in the spring and the fall, when pollen and leaves load up the gutters and the glass.
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, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking window washing and gutter work as two separate jobs. Our washing services are quoted for the whole house, and our window cleaning services follow the same rule. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew sees from the ladder. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. A window count that runs high, or oversized panes, means more glass per setup. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take more hands, and gutters and downspouts that have sat full through a wet season add time on their own. Heavy grime on the glass, from road dust or a summer of baked-on film, takes longer to lift than a light haze. Runoff from a roof that has not been cleared in years leaves dark streaks on the wall below, and rinsing those away is part of the price. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Condos and townhomes with shared walls often need the crew to work around neighboring units, which adds time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing no cleaning removes, so we flag it on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras, and the crew hauls the debris away rather than blowing it onto the lawn. Purified water is how we remove dirt from frames without leaving spots.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows face the street and the back. We will tell you what the gutters and the glass need, and whether the bundle makes sense for that house. Once the crew is on the ladder, the cleaning follows the order we always use, so the water from the gutters never runs across glass we have already done. If the gutters are full of seeds, the run goes first and the spot where the downspout discharges gets flushed until it runs clear before anyone touches a pane below it.
| 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 jobs twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Regular cleanings on that schedule catch the buildup before it sets. Our spring visit runs mid to late June across California, and the fall visit runs late November to December.
In June we find a film on south-facing glass and seed paste packed into the gutter elbows. We match the cleaning solutions to the job, with a light rinse for the film and a stronger mix for the grime that bakes on. In late fall we find the leaf load, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we often see runs that sagged under the weight by the next wet season. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so we keep the calendar open to the weather.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, is one. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is another, because the spots come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames, and those usually need the extra visit too. We will tell you after the first visit which of those applies to your lot.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Picture windows show that haze first, because one big pane shows every streak. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during a rain instead of running into the downspout. For residential and commercial properties alike, our cleanings follow the same logic: find what is built up, clear it, and tell you what we found. Some customers also ask about interior and exterior glass together, and our visit covers the exterior only.
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.
We clean homes and buildings throughout Pico Rivera, and we also handle residential and commercial properties with multi-story buildings, where a boom or scissor lift is the safe way to reach the upper runs. Owners of residential properties get the same crew and the same order of work as everyone else. Our crew does the exterior of every window we can reach and the gutters above them, and we do not work on the windows inside.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We will give you a written estimate from that, then pick a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. If you want a slot in those months, book early.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Clogged gutters that have been left through a wet season are the ones that most often lead to water damage on fascia and siding, which is why we would rather see the house before that happens. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect, and they are the first thing a visitor sees from the street. Our cleaning services cover the gutters and the outside of the glass, and we bring the same professional window cleaning method to every house, with purified water and a water-fed pole.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and then the outside of the windows in one visit, so the water and debris from the roof never lands on glass we have already done.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and tell us the number of stories, and we will give you the exact figure by phone or text before you schedule service.
On our jobs, the outside carries most of what builds up here: pollen film, dust that the rain leaves behind, and sprinkler spots. Clean windows on the outside show the view far better than a clean interior with a dirty pane outside.
Across California, most residential properties book in the spring and the fall, with the spring visit in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Booking early helps, because those are the months our calendar fills first.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last. When we clear a run, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the wall and the downspout outlets before we touch the panes.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks and frames are wiped too, and none of it is billed as an extra.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. This is exterior glass and gutters only, and every residential window we can reach from outside gets the same finish.
No, 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.
