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. Across California, most of the homes we service book this in the spring and fall, when leaves and grit build up. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We price by stories and approximate window count, and booking the gutters and the outside glass in one visit is cheaper than paying for two separate trips. Send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we give you the figure before anyone is scheduled. Professional window cleaning is priced by stories and window count, the same way for every house. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, and the price covers the outside of the house only.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote more than anything else. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass take longer again. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer to reach and rinse. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years are packed with needles and leaves, which adds time before the water can run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are billed for the lift. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning alone, and the crew will tell you on the visit if that is what they see.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The windows inside are not part of this price, since the work is exterior. The crew finds clogged gutters on most visits and clears them as part of the same run.
Gutter water and runoff come off the roof and down the wall, so clearing the gutters first keeps the glass from getting dirty again. Most of our Poway customers want the gutters and the windows done together so that the water damage risk and the grime on the frames are handled in one trip. Window washing is the same work whether the house is a single story or three, but the lift and the ladder time are what change the price.
To get an accurate number, tell us the stories, the approximate window count and whether the gutters have been cleaned recently. A photo of the front of the house is enough for most quotes. We do not charge for the estimate, and if the number changes on the day, we tell you before we start.
Gutter cleaning and window washing on the same house usually take one visit, and that is the price the quote is built around.
| 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 gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit makes those cleaning services easy to keep on schedule. On our Poway jobs we see the pollen film on the south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters in the spring months, and the wet leaf load by the fall. Those two visits catch most of what builds up on residential properties over a year.
Some houses need a third visit. Those houses move from two cleanings a year to three, and regular cleanings keep the gutters flowing. Heavy tree cover over the roof drops needles and grit into the downspouts between visits, and the gutters fill faster than the calendar suggests. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, so those houses get scheduled more often. A house near a busy road or ongoing construction picks up dust on the frames quickly, and the clean windows do not stay clean for long.
We book the spring and fall visits with the same schedule service, so the calendar stays predictable. Every window is measured on the first visit, so the count for each residential window is right the next time.
The sign that windows need cleaning is haze you only see when the sun is low, usually from the west. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down 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.
We clean residential properties across Poway, including the condos and the single-family homes on the quieter streets, and the crew works the same way on each. Booking starts with a phone or text call where we take the stories, an approximate window count and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we give you the earliest date when we call back. For a mix of residential and commercial properties, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you whether the crew can take it.
The two busy windows of the year are spring and the fall leaf drop, and the calendar fills during those months. If you want a slot in those windows, book early. Outside those months, booking is usually quicker.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. We call before we come, and we use the side gate or the driveway as the access route. The crew handles the window washing services and the gutter work in one run, and the window cleaning services are booked on the same call. The roof is cleared of loose debris before the ladder goes up, and the gutters and downspouts are cleared first so the crew can remove dirt before it reaches the glass.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing it in one visit means one setup and one trip.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Tell us those by phone or text and we give you the figure before we schedule anything.
On our Poway jobs, the outside carries dust, rain spotting and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the outside is what keeps the frames and the glass from getting dirty from the weather side.
On our Poway jobs, most customers book in the spring and again in the fall after the leaves drop. Across California the same two visits fit most houses. Call (866) 435-6328 for the earliest date.
Not if the gutters go first. When the gutters are cleared and flushed before the glass is touched, the water settles and the wall dries before anyone wipes a window.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the crew uses purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Tracks are cleaned as part of the window work, not billed separately.
We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing on this visit. This is exterior glass only, so interior and exterior cleaning is not part of this booking.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
