Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of each residential window on the house in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Across California, most of the houses we clean book spring and fall, and that is when the dust and leaf load are 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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services and gutter work go on one invoice, so there is one number to approve. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are two separate jobs with separate prices, and this quote covers the exterior only.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the number: stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or 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 of those is quoted before work starts. We clean window washing and washing services as one job here, so there is no separate charge for the glass.
Across California, the houses we see with the most grime on the glass are the ones on regular cleanings that slipped a season. On a two-story home with picture windows facing the street, the glass takes longer and the crew plans for it. For an exact number, text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and window count; we will confirm it in writing before the visit.
| 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 twice a year, in mid to late June and again in late November to December, so one crew in one visit covers the calendar. What we find on the glass in spring is the pollen film on south-facing panes and a paste of it in the gutters. In the fall it is the wet leaf mat and the grit that washes onto the sills with the first heavy rains.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road all push the glass and gutters past a twice-a-year schedule. Our crew plans those as a window and gutter job on a shorter cycle, and we bring the cleaning solutions that fit the glass rather than a generic spray. Most of our work is on residential properties, and commercial buildings on our route run on the same calendar, so residential and commercial accounts are booked on one schedule.
Inside the house is outside our scope: we clean only the exterior glass on this visit, so windows inside is a separate request. Left alone, clogged gutters and downspouts over a season send runoff back toward the fascia, and on taller multi-story buildings that backup is slower to spot from the ground. Left long enough, it leads to water damage at the eaves. Across California, atmospheric rivers deliver most of the year's rain in a handful of days, so one storm can overflow a gutter that was already full. The sign windows need it is a haze you only see when the sun sits low; the sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain.
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.
The crew works across Seal Beach, and we book the estimate by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we tell you what the visit will cover and when a slot opens. Our typical lead time is set by the calendar that season, and the lead-time figure on our schedule is the one we will quote you.
Two windows of the year fill the calendar fastest: the spring pollen season and the late fall leaf drop, so book early in those months if you can. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works from the outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of each run and each pane when the job is done. Every pass is aimed to remove dirt from the glass and frame, not just move it around the pane.
We are one of the more dependable cleaning services on the coast for exterior work, and our crew has been window cleaners by trade for the whole time they have been on the ladders. We bring professional window cleaning standards to every house, which is how we keep curb appeal intact between seasons. To schedule service with us, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We clean every window we can reach from the ground or a pole, including the sill beneath it.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs down onto clean panes.
We give a number from the stories and size of the house, by phone or text. There is no fixed figure we can give without seeing the front of the house.
The outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so it gets dirty faster than the inside. Cleaning it does not depend on the interior being done.
Across California, most of our customers book a spring visit in mid to late June and a fall visit in late November to December. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
No, because we clean the gutters first and rinse the wall before we touch the glass. That order is the whole reason we do both in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included on the exterior side and do not add a separate line.
No, this visit is exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
We clean condos as well as single houses, exterior glass and gutters on the same terms. Pricing follows the stories and window count, and an upper-floor unit is quoted the same way as a house.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
