The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both together in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of the homes we clean book this pairing in spring and fall, and the number we give 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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and the bundle saving is shown on the estimate itself. Plenty of window cleaners quote by the glass alone, which is why we ask for the gutter run too, so the figure covers the whole house and the professional window cleaning in it.
On the houses we clean, the quote moves for a few reasons we see on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk safely, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened 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 are not billed as extras.
Across California, the homes that land at the high end of our range are usually the ones with heavy tree cover, clogged gutters that have been left a long time, and many windows on more than one floor. Ventura is no different in that respect, so the most useful thing you can send us is the number of stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text. Once we have those, we can tell you what moves your number before the crew ever pulls up. We see the most overflow and water damage on houses where the gutters were never cleaned at all, and the cleanest estimates come from owners who have already walked the perimeter and noted where the water sits. Clean gutters and clear glass also do a lot for curb appeal, and that is usually the first thing owners notice after the crew leaves.

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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. Regular cleanings in spring and fall keep the job predictable: across California the spring visit usually lands in mid to late June, and the fall visit in late November to December. In the spring visit we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load and the wet mat that settles in the runs once the leaves drop.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates, so a visit can slide, but the pattern holds. Houses under heavy tree cover, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or active construction tend to need a third visit, because the spots that return a day after cleaning and the grit in the gutters build up faster than twice a year can handle. A house with few or no trees usually does fine on a single late-fall visit.
The sign that clean windows have gone dirty is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need one is water sheeting over the edge in rain. If you see either, it is time to schedule service, and we will tell you what we find on the day.
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 the exterior of residential properties across Ventura, and booking starts with a quick estimate by phone or text. Send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the visit window. Call (866) 435-6328 to book, or text the same details. We treat the interior and exterior of a home as separate jobs, and this visit covers the exterior only. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; we call before we come and send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months keeps your slot. Outside those windows, the lead time is shorter. Our crew handles residential window cleaning services and gutters and downspouts together, for residential and commercial exteriors alike. We also take on the occasional condos or small multi-story buildings when the exterior needs the same care.
Gutter and window washing services are done from the ground or from a boom or scissor lift on taller buildings, and the work is set up so grime and runoff stay off the finished glass. Picture windows on the upper floors are reached from a boom or scissor lift or a pole, depending on the height. We remove dirt from the frames, sills and screens as part of the visit, so the clean is complete on every window we reach.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
There is no fixed figure we can give without the details. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so the outside is where most of the dirt sits even when the inside looks fine.
Most of our Ventura customers book in spring after the pollen season and again in fall after the leaves drop. Across California the pattern is the same.
No. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the runs washes down onto glass we have already cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, with water and no harsh cleaning solutions. Tracks are included in the glass work.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and pressure washing is not part of the job.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Call (866) 435-6328 to set the date.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
