Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking them separately. Across California, most of our customers book this combined visit in spring and fall, which is when the buildup on glass and in gutters runs heaviest.
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 bundle by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services and gutter work sit on one quote, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote covers the outside glass only; interior and exterior work is not part of this visit.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are the ones the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we have to work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that includes oversized panes, 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 will remove. Each of these changes the time on the ladder and the water on the glass, which is why we would rather see the house than guess at it.
The window washing side of the job is the simplest part to scope. We look at how many panes face the street, how many are picture windows, and whether the screens and sills need the same attention as the glass. Many homeowners find that regular cleanings on a set schedule keep the grime from building into a job that takes twice as long. The washing services we run are the same whether it is one house or a row of duplexes, and our cleaning services cover the same exterior passes on each visit.
For a Santa Paula house, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count. We reply with the quote, and if anything on the photo changes the time on site, we will tell you before the crew is booked.

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, the window and gutter cleaning we see on residential and commercial jobs runs on the same two-visit calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Spring is when pollen does the most damage, both as a film on south-facing glass and as paste packed into the gutters, and fall is when the leaves finish dropping and the wet mat settles into the downspouts.
In spring, the film shows up on glass that faces the sun and on sills, and the pollen paste sits in the gutter elbows where water used to run through. By fall, the leaf load is the main problem, and the wet mat it forms is what sags hangers and backs water up behind the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from what we see on the roof rather than from a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit, and multi-story buildings often do. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps feeding grit into the gutters between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or an active construction site collects a layer of dust that builds up faster than the rest of the block.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a faint haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Most of the houses we see have clogged gutters that show water damage at the fascia before anyone notices the overflow, which is why the crew checks both on each visit.
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 provides professional window cleaning and gutter work on homes around Santa Paula, and most customers book by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will give you a firm estimate and a date. Lead time depends on the season, and during the busy spring and fall windows the calendar fills faster, so it is worth asking early to schedule service.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We will call before we arrive, and the crew works around the outside of the house without coming inside. If your cars are in the driveway near windows, move them the night before so we can reach every window on every side. Clean glass and sills also add to the curb appeal of the front of the house.
We run one crew of professional window cleaners who handle both the gutters and the glass, so there is no hand-off between two companies on the same house. That keeps the schedule simple and the cleaning solutions consistent from one pane to the next, and it means the person who quoted the job is usually the one who finishes it.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, then do the outside glass, in one visit, so there is no second trip and no second setup.
We do not quote a figure without seeing the house. The number comes from the stories and the window count, and you can get it by phone or by texting a photo of the front of the house to (866) 435-6328.
On the houses we clean, the outside carries most of the residential window problems: the spring film, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that cling to the glass. Cleaning windows inside is a separate question; the outside glass still shows the dirt first.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, once the spring buildup has finished and again after the leaves drop. Those are the seasons when residential properties show the most buildup, and condos follow the same calendar.
Not on our jobs, because we do the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runoff stops, and we rinse the siding to remove dirt before we start on the panes.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
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.
