Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and do the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and two jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and in fall, and the crew that gives you the estimate is the crew that does the work. Call (866) 435-6328 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.
We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing booked with gutter work in one visit costs less than two separate washing services. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Give us your stories and a rough window count, or text a photo of the front of the house, and we tell you what it will be before anyone climbs a ladder. The same rule applies to residential and commercial exteriors, and condos are quoted from the same stories and window count.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story, a multi-story building, or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a lot of panes take longer per side. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and more to haul away. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this number covers the outside only. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California, the reason houses come back to us is grime that builds up between visits: the film left on glass and the sludge in gutters after a long dry stretch. Professional window cleaning keeps that load from building, and regular cleanings are the way to hold it there. The crew can tell you on the first visit how often your particular house needs them. For a house in Santa Fe Springs, the way to get an exact figure is to send us the stories, the window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text. We will tell you the number, and the crew will do exactly what was quoted.
| 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 both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and one crew in one visit is the simplest way to do it. On our Santa Fe Springs jobs the same rhythm holds, and that is why we schedule both together.
In spring, what we find on the glass is a pollen film on south-facing panes and a pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In fall it is the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat in clogged gutters that holds water against the fascia, and water damage often starts there. Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little, so the visit follows the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or a construction site all put more dirt on the windows and more grit in the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler spot that comes back a day later is mineral, not dirt, and that is one reason we tell you about it at the first visit. We do not sell DIY steps for any of this; we tell you what we see and how often we would come back, and each visit is timed to remove dirt before it sets on the glass.
Windows need cleaning again when you can see a haze on the glass only when the sun is low. Gutters need cleaning again when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, and that is when runoff is heaviest against gutters that were not cleared.
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 cleaned the gutters and windows on residential properties across Santa Fe Springs, and the cleaning services follow the same method on every street. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a number and a date. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is, so ask for the next open slot when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our professional window cleaning calendar fills fastest in those months. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, so if you want a spring or fall date, book it early. Outside those windows, the crew can usually fit a single house in with a little notice.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and every pane before the truck leaves. The crew brings its own cleaning solutions, water and power. Schedule service once and the same crew handles the gutters and downspouts, the glass, the sills and every window on the outside of the house.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people doing both in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the work comes out right the first time.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, for a house or a condo, and our window cleaning services are quoted that way before the visit, by phone or text. Send a photo of the house front and we will tell you the figure.
Yes, because the outside carries the dirt. Dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior glass, and that is what you see from inside when the light is low. Professional window cleaning on the outside clears it, and the inside panes can wait.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, the two seasons when debris and leaves build up. Book early for those windows because the calendar fills.
No, because we clear the gutters and flush the downspouts before we touch the glass. Runoff from a gutter that is still full would run straight down the wall, so the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does anyone clean the panes.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the job on the outside of the house and are not billed as extras. Screens are rinsed and put back in the window they came out of.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only and do not do pressure washing, so the windows inside stay as they are and need a separate arrangement.
No, you do not need to be home. 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.
