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 from the roof ends up on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is 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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window and gutter work is quoted as one visit. Our washing services follow the same count, and the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Clearing gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, the count of each residential window and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. The crew sees each of these on the day, and we tell you what we found before we start.
Across California, the quotes that stay closest to the first estimate are the ones where the homeowner sent a photo of the front of the house and a rough count of stories and windows. Text a photo of the roofline and tell us the stories, and we work out the window washing and gutter numbers from that. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, and the grime on the glass stays easy to remove between visits. Picture windows and tall panes take longer, and we count them as we go. Purified water does the work on the glass, so no cleaning solutions go on the outside panes. Our crew works the same way on every house: we describe the interior and exterior glass we are quoting, and only the exterior glass is on this visit.
| 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, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. What we find each visit depends on the season. Pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters, and clogged gutters are most common once the leaf load comes in the fall. The spring visit usually falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and storms can move either date, so we confirm the window with you on the phone. The same schedule works for residential and commercial properties.
Some houses need a third visit. We see it with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, where spots come back a day after cleaning, and with a multi-story building near a busy road or construction. If the outside of the glass looks hazy only when the sun is low, the windows need it. Runoff from a clogged run also streaks the siding below, and if water sheets over the edge of the gutter in rain, the gutters need it, because standing water can cause water damage at the fascia.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and exterior windows across California, and the job is the same on every house, including residential properties. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We give you the estimate on the spot and hold a date. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our professional window cleaning crew is the one you will see on the ladder, and window cleaning services on taller houses use a boom or scissor lift. We clean every window we can reach from outside, and we remove dirt from the frames and check each sill as we go.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early call gets you the slot you want. Book early and we hold the date while we confirm the details. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal.
Yes, window and gutter cleaning is done by the same two people in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and condos are quoted the same way as a house. We quote it by phone or text, and that is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the dirt: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside alone keeps each residential window clear and helps remove dirt, without touching the windows inside.
Across California most of our customers book spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you the window that suits your house.
No, because the gutters go first and the glass goes last. Once a run is cleared and the downspouts are flushed, the wall has time to stop dripping before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are cleaned too. None of this is billed as an extra.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
