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 booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most of the homes we clean are booked for spring and fall, so the calendar tends to fill those two windows first.
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.
Our window washing is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge at the end of the job, and it comes from those inputs once we have seen the front of the house.
On our jobs, the things that change the quote are the same ones the crew sees from the ladder: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, 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 before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinkler lines that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Every one of the cleanings we book is quoted from the same inputs, so a repeat visit is not a new guess.
Across California, our washing services start the same way: get the exact number. Text or call (866) 435-6328 with the stories, the approximate window count and one photo of the front of the house, and we can give you a firm figure before the visit. Without the photo we can still give a quote by phone, but it is less precise on houses with a lot of picture windows or unusual rooflines. Interior and exterior glass are not priced in one number on this visit, since this visit covers the outside.
One of our recent jobs in South Whittier was a house with several large sliders on the second floor that had not been cleaned in over a year. The crew noted hard-water spotting on the lower panes, which needed a separate treatment, and the gutters were full on the back run. The customer booked both in one visit and had the number confirmed before the crew arrived. Read the full job here.

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.
Most of our South Whittier customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew doing both in a single visit makes sense for them. Across California we see the same rhythm for regular cleanings, though the exact timing moves with the weather.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and a sticky paste builds up in the gutters, and clogged gutters are often where the first water backs up at the downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load is the main job, and wet leaves in the gutters are heavy enough to pull hangers on older runs. Film like that usually lifts with water alone, and cleaning solutions are used only where it does not. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we schedule around the forecast rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts debris into the gutters faster than twice a year can keep up with. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or an active construction site collects grime on the glass faster than a quiet street does. Multi-story buildings add setup time on every visit, so a third story can push the schedule as well. If one of those describes your house, we will tell you after the first visit how often it needs to come back.
Here is how the signs show up between visits. Window haze tends to show only when the sun is low, so if the glass looks cloudy at dusk, it is due. Haze on windows inside the house is a separate question, since this visit covers the outside only. Gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge of the run during rain rather than running out through the downspout. Left alone, that overflow runs into water damage at the fascia and trim.
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 window cleaning services cover homes across South Whittier, and the work is the same whether the house is near the main roads or tucked into a quieter block. The estimate covers every window on the house, outside only, and it works the same way for every residential property in the area. Residential and commercial jobs are quoted differently, so the numbers on this page are for houses. We book the estimate by phone or text: send the stories, the approximate window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will confirm the number and the next open date.
Lead time varies with the season, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, when our calendar fills first. Clean glass and gutters do a lot for curb appeal, so it is worth asking early if you want a particular week. We call before we come, so you will know the crew is on the way.
Professional window cleaning here means a water-fed pole and purified water, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew works from ladders and the pole, does not come inside, and sends photos of every run and the finished glass before they leave. You can schedule service by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text if you prefer.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first. Doing both together keeps the runoff from the gutters off glass we have already cleaned.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front, and we will confirm the figure before anyone is booked. Condos in a shared building or complex need the access sorted first, so mention it when you call.
Usually yes. For a residential window, the outside carries most of what dulls the glass: tree dust in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. Interior glass is a separate question, and we only do exterior glass on this visit.
Most of our South Whittier customers book in spring and in fall, after the seed and pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Across California the timing follows the weather, so we schedule from the forecast as much as the calendar.
Not on our jobs, because the gutters are cleared and flushed first and the wall has time to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass. The crew does not have to remove dirt from the same glass twice, which is why gutters first, glass last is the order the crew follows on every visit.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job, and they are not billed as extras. If a screen is damaged, the crew photographs it and tells you rather than repairing it on the spot.
We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit. The work is exterior glass only, done with a water-fed pole and purified water.
No, you do not need to be home. 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 leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
