Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. On our San Fernando jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, when the grime builds up fastest. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and a rough window count, and we will give you the number we will 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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, 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, and the cleaning solutions used on frames and sills are part of the price.
On our San Fernando jobs, the quote usually moves most on window-and-gutter houses where the back run is high and the glass has a season of pollen on it. One recent job on a two-story house had heavy tree cover over the roof and needed the gutters cleared before the glass, which is why the number on the phone accounted for the extra time on the ladder. Nothing about the price changed once the crew arrived, and the photos showed each run before and after. To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house. A quick look at the picture windows and the roofline is usually enough for us to quote you the same day.

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 regular cleanings for both gutters and exterior windows, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across California, the spring visit runs mid to late June and the fall visit runs late November to December.
At the spring visit we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and sticky paste packed into the gutters. At the fall visit the leaf load fills the downspouts, and clogged gutters are the usual result, with a wet mat heavier than it looks from the ground. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, which is a reason not to wait too long into fall.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. Gutters that stay packed can also lead to water damage at the fascia. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than the rest. Those are the cases where we suggest a third visit as we see them on the job.
Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most owners expect. You will know windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in 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.
We book window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city and can schedule service on the same route as the rest of our San Fernando appointments. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you the price and the next open date. Lead time is in the estimate itself.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and those are when our calendar fills first. If you want a slot in those months, book early. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come, so a short heads-up is always given.
We clean residential properties, with each residential window done from the outside, plus gutters and downspouts on the same visit. This page covers houses only, so it does not cover residential and commercial contracts, condos or multi-story buildings. Every window on the outside of the house is covered, including the ones on the upper floors that we reach from the pole, and the sill gets wiped as part of the job.
Yes. Our crew does both on the same visit, so you get one appointment and one invoice. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so nothing runs back onto the clean windows.
We quote from the number of stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. We do not give a figure here because the exact number depends on those details, and it is the number we will charge.
On our jobs in San Fernando the outside is where the grime collects: rain dust and sprinkler spots build up there first. Cleaning the inside alone does not remove dirt from the outside glass, so the outside is usually the visit that makes the biggest difference.
Across California, most customers book professional window cleaning in the spring, around mid to late June, and in the fall, from late November to December. Those are the stretches when the leaves are heaviest, and our calendar fills first.
No. We clear the gutters before we touch the windows, so the runoff drains off before anyone reaches the glass, and the gutters and downspouts are done first. That is the reason for the order we work in.
Screens get rinsed, sills get wiped, and the frames are cleaned as part of the job. Our washing services cover all of that, and they are not billed as extras, so the number we quote covers them.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing, so this is not an interior and exterior package.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
