Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every window in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs down onto clean panes.
We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house, and we give you the number from there.
Most of our San Diego Country Estates customers book the job in the spring and fall, and that is when our crew is busiest here.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The quote covers our window washing and the gutter work, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized panes and picture windows take more time per pane than standard sash windows. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is not dirt, so a pass to remove dirt will not clear it, and we say so before we quote it.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services, not billed as extras. On a typical visit the crew clears the gutters and downspouts, flushing each downspout until the water runs clear, and rinses the screens and wipes the sills as it works.
On our San Diego Country Estates jobs, the quote that moves most is the one for a house with heavy tree cover. A customer with two stories and a full run of gutters under a canopy of trees booked the bundle last spring, and the crew found the downspouts packed and the windows coated with a film that sat on the glass from the runoff off the roof. The owner asked why the quote came in above a neighbor's. The answer was the gutter load and the glass that had collected grime for a full season. Full details and photos are on that job's page.
To get your exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street. That is enough for us to quote over the phone, and the crew confirms the figure before they start.
| 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.
Most of our San Diego Country Estates customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense.
At the spring visit we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste in the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the timing when you book.
Some houses are better served by regular cleanings than by the twice-a-year schedule. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction all leave more on the surfaces between cleanings. The spots from sprinklers are the ones that come back a day after the glass is done, so we flag them on the first visit. Ordinary cleaning solutions do not lift them.
You can usually tell the windows need cleaning by haze you only notice when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge during rain. Interior and exterior glass do not need the same schedule, since the outside takes the seasonal load.
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 have worked across San Diego Country Estates on window cleaning services for residential properties and condos, and our crew covers the city as a whole. The same crew handles residential and commercial exterior glass, so the scope stays the same whichever kind of building it is. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the next open date.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring bloom and the fall leaf fall. In those weeks our calendar fills, so booking early keeps your slot. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We work as professional window cleaning crews on exterior glass, with the goal of keeping curb appeal up without a rush. On multi-story buildings the crew needs more ladder setup, so the stories count drives the quote. Clogged gutters are the usual reason a roof edge starts to show water damage, which is why the two jobs run together.
Yes, it is the same crew. Our two-person crew does the gutters first and the glass last, which keeps the runoff from the roof off the clean windows.
We do not quote a figure here. The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and you get it by phone or text before the crew books you in.
On our San Diego Country Estates jobs, the outside carries a film of dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots that builds up between visits. That film sits on the exterior of each residential window, so cleaning the outside is what changes how the windows look.
Our customers here book in the spring and fall, which is when the bloom and the leaves come down. Booking early in those weeks is the way to schedule service before the calendar fills.
No, gutters first, glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so we rinse the wall and finish the glass after that.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. We do not bill them as extras, and we flag any track that needs more than a wipe.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing on it. Inside glass is a separate job we do not take on this visit.
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 while the ladders are up 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.
