Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 our customers book spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaf load 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.
We price gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and that one figure covers the window washing and every window on the house. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and gutters and downspouts are never billed as extras.
The easiest way to get an exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough window count. Our crew will tell you how the washing services and window cleaning services break down for that house, and the figure you hear before work starts is the one on the invoice. Most of the grime on glass and the runoff in the gutters comes from the same weather, so one visit is usually enough to remove dirt from both at once. Condos and multi-unit residential properties are quoted per building, not per unit, and we will say so on the phone.
| 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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the same calendar.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters, and the window and gutter work is the cleanest it will be all year. In fall the leaf load comes down, and on houses that skipped the autumn visit we see runs that sagged under the weight. Storm and wind seasons move the dates by a few weeks for residential and commercial buildings alike, so we book from the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass (the spots that come back a day later), and a house near a busy road or construction all put more on the glass and in the gutters between visits. Picture windows show a film faster than smaller panes, because there is more glass to show it. Those are the houses where regular cleanings pay off, because the buildup never gets a full season to set. Purified water does most of the work, so clean windows dry without streaks, and cleaning solutions go only on the frames and sills where a film needs them. Our visit covers exterior glass only, so the interior and exterior split is settled before anyone books.
The sign windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a 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.
Our crew cleans gutters and windows across the city, and the fastest way to start is a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. To schedule service, give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. For multi-story buildings we also need a photo of each side before we quote. Typical lead time is a field we confirm on the phone, and when the calendar is tight we say so.
The two busy windows of the year follow the pollen and leaf months, and that is when our calendar fills. Booking early in those windows keeps the slot. We call before we come, so you know when the truck is on the street.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our cleaning services stay outside, and the crew does not come inside, so the windows inside stay untouched and the job works around your day. We are a professional window cleaning and window cleaners crew that treats each house as a building with its own curb appeal to protect. Clogged gutters that overflow in the next rain are a slope or hanger problem we report, and water damage from them is the reason we clean on schedule rather than on complaint.
Yes. It is the same crew, and the gutters are done first so each residential window is cleaned once.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and the stories, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the figure before anything is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up on every window between visits.
Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, once the pollen and leaf load are on the house.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping and the clean windows stay clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit for residential properties; we do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing.
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. To schedule service, pick a date and we confirm the arrival window by phone.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
