Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, so the calendar fills around those seasons. Call (866) 435-6328 for a price by phone or text.
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 a residential window and gutter job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we work it out from those inputs before the crew is scheduled.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof steep enough that we need a boom or scissor lift changes the setup. A large window count, or oversized panes such as picture windows that take more time per square foot, adds time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or clogged gutters packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the job, and so is hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which a cleaning will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California, the cases that move our quotes most are the ones with the most stories and the most glass. Each one gets a number on the phone before the crew is booked, so you know the figure before anyone climbs a ladder. To get an exact number, tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows the house has, or text a photo of the front of the house. That is enough for us to quote the gutters, the window cleaning and the bundle in one call, and it keeps the invoice matching the quote.
Professional window cleaning is a different job from a quick rinse of the front glass. Our window washing covers every window the crew can reach from a water-fed pole, using purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries without streaks. A clean exterior also helps curb appeal, so the windows and gutters are worth doing on the same visit. Water damage from a clogged gutter often starts behind the window trim, which is one more reason we clear the gutters first and do the glass last.
| 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 |

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 customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both jobs. Keeping up with regular cleanings on that schedule keeps the load from building up. The spring visit clears the seed and fine dust that settles in the gutters, and the fall visit clears the leaves that come down after the last warm weeks.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring we see a pollen film on south-facing glass and a seed paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall the leaf load is the main problem, and wet leaves in the gutter hold water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we look at the house before setting the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between visits, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or an active construction site picks up dust faster than a quiet street does. We flag these on the first visit and suggest a schedule that matches what the house actually collects.
On a window, the sign that it needs cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, usually in the afternoon. In a gutter, the sign is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either, book a visit, and we will photograph what we find before anyone starts work.
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 handles window cleaning services and gutter washing services at residential properties across the city, and we book from a phone call or a text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. We need that to quote the job and to set the right crew size, and it takes a few minutes. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year the calendar fills first, so the sooner you call, the sooner we can fit you in.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and calls before they arrive. If something can't be reached safely, like a pane over a sunroof or a gutter run behind a tree limb, we photograph it and tell you so we are not guessing from the ground.
We also handle the older sections of a property, including the gutters and downspouts along the back of a house, the sills under the windows and the runoff path to the drain. Grime that builds up along the sill and the outside frame gets wiped to remove dirt as part of the job, so the whole exterior is done at once rather than in pieces. We work the same way on the condos and multi-story buildings we service, scheduling them in one visit where the layout allows.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the ladder. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit. The quote works the same way for residential and commercial buildings, so tell us the building type when you call. It is the number we charge, so there are no surprises on the invoice.
Yes, because the outside takes the hit from pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and the inside does not. Exterior cleaning is what removes the film that builds up on the glass between visits.
Across California, most of our customers book in spring and fall. That is when the seed and the leaf load are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
No, because we clear the gutters first and the glass last. Anything that drains off the roof and the gutters gets flushed before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras. Tracks are included in the exterior cleaning.
We clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need the inside done, tell us when you call and we will point you to the right service.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
