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 booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across California we find the spring and fall visits do the most for the glass and the gutter runs, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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 price for a combined visit comes from stories and window count, and it is quoted over the phone or by text from those two numbers. The number we quote is the number we charge. Booking window cleaning services with gutter work costs less than two separate trips, and we will tell you the exact difference on the estimate. Our washing services follow that same rule, so window washing and gutter work on one visit stay on one quote.
Several things move the quote once our crew is on site. A third story or a steep roof changes how we set the lift and how long the run takes. The estimate counts every window on the house, and oversized panes and tall picture windows need a boom or scissor lift to reach. Gutters that have not been cleared in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to flush, and gutters and downspouts take the most time on a neglected house. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor, because no cleaning removes that film and it needs a separate treatment we quote after we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Our crew has learned that the quickest way to get an exact number is to send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. We can usually tell from that what the job will involve, and the estimate matches the invoice. Condos follow the same rule, so send the building's stories and a photo of the front. Anything that falls outside the photo, such as a hidden back run, gets confirmed with you before we start.

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 both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall. Regular cleanings on that calendar are what make one crew in one visit a sensible plan. Across California, the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December.
What we find at each visit follows the seasons. The pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the sticky tree residue packs into the gutters, and the spring visit is when that shows up most. We pick cleaning solutions to suit what is on the glass, and our crew can remove dirt and pollen in one pass, but mineral spots need a separate treatment. The fall visit deals with the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs through the rainy months. San Bruno gets about 19.6 inches of rain a year, with January, February and December the wettest months. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so we adjust the dates when a storm has come through.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts loaded between cleanings. 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 collects grit faster than average. On those properties we usually suggest a closer schedule so the buildup does not reach the gutter seams.
Windows tell you when they need cleaning: a haze shows up when the sun is low and the glass catches the light. Gutters tell you when they need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, send a photo and we will tell you what we see on the glass or in the runs.
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 and commercial exteriors across San Bruno, residential properties included, and our professional window cleaning crew books around the busy seasons. Estimates come by phone or text, and the quickest route is to send the number of stories and a photo of the house front. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text that photo. When our calendar fills during the two busy windows of the year, we tell you the next open date before we book anything. Our crew calls before we come, so you know the day and the arrival window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles residential window jobs and cleaning services at multi-story buildings in the same visit, and we only take on work we can finish in one visit. Clogged gutters and runoff from a roof that has been left alone for a season can cause water damage at the fascia, so it pays to book before the buildup gets heavy. Clean glass and clear runs do a lot for curb appeal. We do the job the same way every time, gutters first and glass last, and we send photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, with the same two people on the ladder. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last so the debris does not run back onto the clean windows.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. The quote is the number on the invoice.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime: tree dust, rain grit and sprinkler spots. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so this visit covers the exterior only.
Across California the spring visit falls in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December. Book the spring visit once the bloom finishes, and note that San Bruno's wettest months are January, February and December, so the fall visit goes on the calendar before the wet leaf mat builds up.
No. Gutters first, glass last. When the runs are cleared and flushed first, the water and grit have time to stop dripping before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior visit. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
Our visit does not include the windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of it. Exterior glass only.
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. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
