The same two people who clean your gutters can clean every window on the outside of your house in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean windows. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this combined visit in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves are heaviest. Clean glass and clear gutters are the quickest way to lift curb appeal on a house. Call (866) 435-6328 with your stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the number we charge.
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, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Give us those two details by phone or text and we will tell you where your house lands before anyone climbs a ladder.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk the full length, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window washing done this way means the water-fed pole, the purified water and the frame wipe are all included, so there is no line for washing services added after the fact. The cleaning solutions for that spotting are the one add-on, and they are quoted after the crew sees the glass. We price the exterior only, so the interior and exterior of a house are two separate jobs if you want both.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many residential window panes face the street. A photo of the back run helps if the gutters are high. That is enough for us to quote the window cleaning services and the gutter work together, without a site visit first.
Companies that charge by length land in a similar place per foot of gutter, but the stories and access decide most of the bill. We will walk you through each line before we book so there is no surprise at the door.

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 customers book cleanings twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit is the simplest way to do both. The window and gutter work runs on the same calendar because the same things fall on the house at the same times.
In spring the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the downspout elbows. In fall the leaf load comes down and turns to a wet mat in the gutters. Storms and wind seasons can move those dates by a few weeks, so we book from what the house is doing rather than from a fixed date.
Some houses need regular cleanings more often than twice a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than the rest. Commercial buildings with the same conditions, including the residential and commercial properties we serve, follow the same logic.
On the glass, the sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only see when the sun is low. On the gutters, the sign is runoff sheeting over the edge in rain, and that runoff lands on the wall and the windows below it. Either one means the cleaning is due.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows on single-family homes and condos across the city, and we answer the estimate call the same day. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text your stories and a photo of the house front. From there we set a date inside our normal lead time, and we call before we come.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills in those weeks first. Book early in those months and you will get a slot without waiting. Outside those windows there is usually room.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside and sends photos of every run and every pane to your phone before the truck leaves. Our window cleaners work from the ground and from a boom or scissor lift on multi-story buildings, so the glass gets done without a ladder against the siding, and they remove dirt and grime from the frames on the way.
Clogged gutters are the most common reason we are called out, and water damage from a gutter that has overflowed for years is what we most want to prevent. That is why we clean the runs and flush the downspouts on every visit, not just the ones you can see from the driveway. A professional window cleaning visit on a clear day takes most of a morning on a two-story house.
Yes. The same crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
We do not quote a figure off a question like this. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those are the things that cloud the glass before anyone notices the inside.
Across California most customers book in spring and fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves are heaviest on a Redlands house.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto the panes after they are done.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior of residential properties and the outside of every window, and we do not clean windows inside or pressure wash.
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, 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.
