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 an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up enough to matter on the glass and in the gutters. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your number.
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, both jobs together are cheaper than two separate visits, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote is what our crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder. A high window count or oversized picture windows means more glass to work through. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate issue that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across California, the simplest way to get an exact number is to tell us the stories, the approximate window count, and text us a photo of the front of the house. Window washing on a single-story home is quick, while window cleaning services for a larger home with regular cleanings on a set schedule are planned around the grime that builds up between visits. Our washing services for those homes follow the same schedule. Our crew can also note interior and exterior issues in the report, but this visit covers the exterior only.
| 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 services twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a single calendar.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass, and the paste of seeds and needles packed into the gutter elbows. Cleaning solutions come into it only when water alone will not lift the film. In fall the leaf load is what we find, wet and matted in the runs. Storm and wind seasons move these dates from year to year, so we book around the weather rather than a fixed day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters coming back between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that return a day after cleaning. Water that sits in clogged gutters can cause water damage at the fascia and the wall below. A house near a busy road or ongoing construction collects more grime on the glass than most. On multi-story buildings the same is true, because the upper runs are harder to see from the ground.
You will notice the glass needs cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will notice the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout.
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.
Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the season and our current calendar, and we will tell you the first open date when we quote. Our busiest windows are the spring and fall leaf seasons, when the calendar fills and schedule service goes out a few weeks in advance. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the schedule.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and our crew stays outside the house while working on cleaning services for every window and every gutter run. Our professional window cleaning is done from the ground or a boom or scissor lift, and we are one of the window cleaners in the area set up to handle both jobs in one visit to protect curb appeal and keep the sill and frame clean. The same method applies to residential and commercial glass, and the quote follows the stories and window count either way.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so no dirty runoff ends up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Residential properties and condos are quoted the same way, so give us those by phone or text and we will quote the exact price for the job.
Yes. The outside takes the rain dust and sprinkler spots, and a visit is how you remove dirt that has built up on the exterior glass even when the inside looks fine.
Across California most customers book in spring and fall, and that is when we see leaf loads and tree seed build up in the runs. The timing follows the calendar we keep.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last. When the runs are cleared before the windows, the grit and water have nowhere to splash onto clean panes.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit, and we will note anything that needs more time.
This visit covers exterior windows only on a residential window job. We do not do pressure washing on this visit, and we do not clean the windows inside the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
