Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We go gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls off the roof lands on clean glass. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew does this work across California, and most Santa Barbara customers book it in the spring and fall. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the front of the house to get your number.
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.
The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. We price by stories and the approximate window count, and when both jobs happen in one visit the bundle costs less than booking them separately. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are steep roofs and third stories, window count and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and 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. Each one shows up when the crew walks the house and checks every window, so we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text and a count of stories before we quote.
Texting us the front of the house and the number of stories gets you an exact figure. If your roof has a mix of runs, tell us which ones were never cleaned. Those details let us quote the bundle before the crew arrives, and they keep the number honest. Our window washing services and window cleaning services are priced on the same basis, and the grime on glass under a tree costs more to remove than the dust on an open street. Some condos we clean have shared runs, and the crew sorts out who gets which part before work starts. We flush every run, so any runoff that would have backed up behind the fascia is gone by the time we leave. We work to remove dirt from the glass and debris from the gutter, and we do not leave a run half done. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a number before we book.

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 gutters and windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew handles the window and gutter work in one visit. The spring visit runs mid to late June across California, and the fall visit runs late November to December; those are the two windows we plan around.
On the glass in spring we find pollen film on south-facing windows and pollen paste packed in the gutters, which is the most common reason for the spring call. In fall the leaf load builds up in the runs and the glass picks up the dust that rain leaves behind. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, and the wettest months of the year are January through March, so a fall visit that gets pushed into winter is worth keeping an eye on.
Some houses need a third visit. Those are the ones with heavy tree cover over the roof, the ones where a sprinkler line hits the glass and leaves spots that come back a day later, and the ones near a busy road or construction. On those houses cleaning solutions alone do not hold, so we plan a third visit as part of the regular cleanings schedule. For residential and commercial multi-story buildings, the same logic applies. Our calendar covers residential properties too, and commercial jobs run on the same schedule.
On clean windows the haze is easy to spot once you know what to look for: it shows as a film you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters show it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Either sign is a good reason to book a visit, and we will tell you which one we see when we come out. We clean interior and exterior glass only if the job is quoted that way; on this visit we do the outside only.
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 work across the city, and we will confirm the neighborhoods we have cleaned when you call. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number based on that. Lead time depends on the season, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, when pollen and leaves are at their worst. Book early in those months.
We call before we come, so you know the day and the window. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside. Interior glass is a separate quote, so windows inside stay as they are unless you book that too. We are one of the cleaning services you can book for exterior glass and gutters, and we are a crew that does the actual work, not a referral. Homeowners who want their windows and gutters handled by one of the window cleaners on the same visit get one crew, one truck and one invoice.
We also do residential window cleaning and professional window cleaning for businesses, and the same crew can work through a block of professional window cleaning jobs in one day. Exterior glass is what we are there for, and it is what keeps the curb appeal of a house in good shape between the bigger jobs. We are careful about clogged gutters, because they are the usual cause of water damage at the eave, and we would rather catch it on a regular visit than find it after the drywall is stained.
Yes. For us, window and gutter cleaning is one job: one crew does gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. Text us a photo of the front of the house to get it started.
On residential properties in Santa Barbara the outside of every window is where pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect, so clean windows only look finished when the outside has been done too.
Across California, most of our customers book in spring, around mid to late June, and in fall, from late November to December. Those are the two windows to schedule service, so book early.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. If the glass was washed first, the runoff from the gutters would land on it and need a second pass.
On every residential window we clean, screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when the window is open and reachable from outside.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing as part of this bundle.
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 unlock the side gate. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
