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 grime that comes down the wall never lands on clean panes. We price the job by how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this combined visit in spring and again in fall, and our San Gabriel crews run the same routine.
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 window and gutter cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What we quote from the start is what the invoice shows, with no add-on surprises. Residential and commercial buildings are quoted the same way, by stories and window count.
Several things move the quote once our crew sees the house. Multi-story buildings take more time: a third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and more setup. Oversized panes and picture windows take longer to reach and clean evenly. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take extra time to clear before we can flush the downspouts. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add labor. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is another factor, since no cleaning removes it, and we say so on the day rather than promising a result we cannot deliver. Cleaning solutions come out only where water alone will not lift the grime, and that can add time. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras.
On our San Gabriel jobs, the quote usually reflects how the house is built and how the gutters have been kept. If you want the exact number, send us a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We will work out the window count from that and tell you the price before we schedule anything. Pressure washing and any other service we do not offer on this visit are outside the quote. Interior and exterior glass are not the same job here: this visit covers the outside only, and we will say so before the crew arrives.
| 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 Gabriel customers book both services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Keeping to regular cleanings on that schedule keeps the buildup light. Spring brings pollen, which settles as a film on south-facing glass and packs into the gutters as a paste. Fall brings the leaf load, which clogs gutters and then sends runoff over the edge in the first heavy rain. Storms and wind move these dates, so we tie our scheduling to what the house is showing, not to a fixed date on the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding debris into the gutters between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than average. On our jobs these are the cases where clogged gutters show up between visits, and where water damage starts if nobody clears the runs.
Windows tell you when they need attention: haze you only notice when the sun is low, or a film that catches the light on the glass. Gutters tell you too. If water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout, the run is blocked or sagging and needs clearing. We are happy to look at either sign on a visit and tell you what we see. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal, since the outside of the house is what neighbors see first.
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 crews have cleaned a wide range of homes around San Gabriel, and we handle residential properties the same way on every visit. Our window cleaning services reach every window on the outside of the house that we can get to from the ground or a pole, and each residential window gets the same treatment whatever floor it is on. The gutters are cleared on the same visit, so the whole job is one booking. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will work out the approximate window count and the price. Lead time depends on our calendar at the moment, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. The busiest stretches of the year line up with the spring pollen and fall leaf months, so booking early in those windows gets you the slot you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our cleaning services are for the outside of the house only, and our crew does not come inside. We call before we arrive so you know when to expect us. Once we are on site, the professional window cleaning and gutter work stays outside the whole time, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before we leave. If a window or a gutter run needs more time than planned, we call you before continuing.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the same visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof lands on clean windows.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us the stories and a photo of the front, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the price before anything is scheduled.
Usually the outside is what carries the mess. Pollen, rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots all land on the exterior glass, so cleaning the windows inside alone leaves the film you see most. On our jobs the outside is the first thing customers ask us to do.
Most of our customers here book in the spring after pollen season and again in fall after the leaves drop. Those are the two windows we see the most buildup, so booking then keeps your house on a regular schedule.
Not on our jobs. Gutters and downspouts go first and glass last, because the leaves, grit and black runoff from a gutter run down the wall and across any window below it. Doing the glass first means cleaning it twice.
Sills get wiped as part of the visit, and screens can be rinsed while we are working to remove dirt that has built up in the mesh. Tracks are part of the exterior window work on this visit. We do not bill these as separate extras.
Not on this visit. Our crew cleans the outside of the windows and the gutters only, and we do not offer pressure washing services on this visit. If you want the windows inside cleaned, tell us when you book and we will say what we can offer.
You do not need to be home for the exterior work. If the home is a condo, tell us which floor you are on and whether the gutters above you are yours to clear. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, 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.
