Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of the homes we visit book this combined service in the spring and fall, when leaves and dust build up the most, and you can call (866) 435-6328 for a quote.
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 gutter and window cleaning by the number of stories and the approximate window count. Booking the two jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift for the back run. Residential window count matters most on a run with oversized panes or a long row of picture windows. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the debris. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs a separate treatment with its own cleaning solutions, and cleaning alone will not remove it. We clear the gutters and downspouts as one run, and screen rinsing and sill wiping come with it and show up on the quote, not on the invoice.
Text us a photo of the front of the house along with your stories and rough window count, and our crew will send a written estimate before anyone is booked. The window and gutter work on a single-story home is quick, while a two-story house with regular cleanings on the same schedule tends to go faster on the second visit because the debris is lighter.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 homeowners book gutter and window cleaning services twice a year, in spring and in fall. On our Signal Hill jobs the timing follows what we find on the glass and in the gutters at each visit.
In the spring we usually find a pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall it is the leaf load that matters, along with the wet mat that builds up in the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can shift those dates, so we book by what the house needs rather than by the calendar alone.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass, often need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. The same goes for a sprinkler line that hits the glass, which leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, and for homes near a busy road or active construction. Those are the places where professional window cleaning services with a mid-year visit pay off.
You can usually tell windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout, and that water can lead to water damage at the fascia and foundation.
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 window cleaning services and gutter cleaning on residential properties across Signal Hill, and we can usually fit in a window and gutter cleaning once you call to schedule service. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will give you a firm number before we commit to a date.
The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and fall visit seasons. If you are planning around those months, call early. We will confirm the lead time on your estimate. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we always call before we arrive so the crew can start on the right side of the house.
For residential and commercial work, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what we can cover at your address. We clean every window on the outside of the house, including the sill and frame, so the glass stays clear between visits. Our goal is to give you clean windows and clear gutters on one visit, with photos of each run sent to you before we leave.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so runoff from the gutters does not end up on clean windows.
We quote the number by phone or text based on stories and window count. Send us a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the price before we book anything.
In Signal Hill, the outside picks up dust, rain residue and sprinkler spots first, so the glass gets dirty from the outside. Cleaning the exterior keeps the frames and sills from holding grime, which also helps curb appeal, even when the inside looks fine.
Across California most of our customers book in the spring and the fall. In Signal Hill, we book by what the house needs, which is usually the spring visit and the leaf drop.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. That order lets us remove dirt from the glass once instead of washing it twice, since the leaves, grit and black water coming down the wall would otherwise run across it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of our washing services. Tracks are included in the same visit, and nothing is added as a separate line item.
Our visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are. Interior and exterior glass are treated as separate jobs, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home, including at condos where the crew works from the outside. 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
