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 the runoff never lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front for your number. Across California, most of our customers book this work in spring and fall, and we keep the schedule open for those two windows.
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 on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it does not move once the crew is on the ladder.
On every professional window cleaning job, the things that move a quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the upper runs. A large window count adds to the window washing time, and oversized panes take longer to wash. Clogged gutters, the ones nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul away. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed by the foot. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is the one thing no cleaning removes, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside are not part of this price.
Our crew works on houses and multi-story buildings alike, and the same measures decide the price. If a house has been left a long time, the gutters often need a second pass before the water runs clear, and we say so on the phone. The gutters and the windows both carry water damage risk when they overflow, which is why we check the downspouts on every run. Clean gutters and clear glass also do the most for curb appeal from the street. Most of the difference between two quotes on the same street comes down to how many stories and how many windows, so send us a photo of the front of the house by text and we will give you the exact number.
| 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 our cleaning services twice a year, with the spring visit usually falling in mid to late June and the fall visit in late November to December, and one crew in one visit makes that schedule simple. On our San Dimas jobs a dust film shows up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters as the seed drops, so the spring visit is the one that clears it. The leaf load arrives in fall, and storm or wind seasons move both dates a little, so we call before we come.
Some residential properties need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than average. For those we suggest a third visit, and we point out the reason on the first job.
We look at every window between visits so we can tell you when it needs help. The sign you need clean windows again is a haze you only see when the sun is low and the light is flat. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during a rain, instead of running into the downspout. When either one shows up, text a photo and we will tell you whether to schedule service.
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 works across the city, and you can book window cleaning services by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate with a date. The lead time shows up on the booking screen, and during the two busy windows of the year the calendar fills first, so it helps to book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our washing services clean the outside of the windows and the gutters and downspouts in the same visit, and we do not clean inside the glass on this visit. Grime at the sill and along the gutter lip comes off in the same pass, and the crew uses that pass to remove dirt before the glass is washed. Commercial buildings and condos get the same crew and the same order of work, gutters first and glass last. The runoff from a gutter that has not been cleared lands on the glass below, so the order matters on every job, and the crew checks the downspouts as it goes.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit for residential and commercial buildings, and they do the gutters first and the glass last.
The number comes from the stories, the approximate window count and the size of any picture windows, and we give it by phone or text. The number we quote is the number on the invoice.
On San Dimas jobs the outside carries the pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and that is what the glass looks like from the street. Cleaning the outside alone covers most of what you see.
Most of our customers book regular cleanings in spring and again in fall, after the leaves come down, and that holds across California.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall dry for a few minutes, and only then wash the glass, so the runoff has nowhere to land on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, with the cleaning solutions we bring. Tracks are included with the sills, and nothing is billed as a separate extra.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. When you want the interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate job, so the inside is not part of this quote, and pressure washing is not included either.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
