Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We work gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls out of the gutter lands on clean glass. 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 our customers book the work in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote from your stories and window count.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning services separately. Our gutter and window washing services are priced this way, so the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings, or a steep roof, slow the work and need a boom or scissor lift. Window count and large picture windows add time, and so does heavy grime on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched into the glass and no cleaning removes it, so we flag it and quote a separate treatment if you want it.
The fastest way to get the exact number is to tell us the stories, give us an approximate window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. For a window washing quote we can usually work from that alone. The number covers exterior glass, and it does not roll in interior and exterior work together. Our crew cleaning jobs in Thousand Oaks often come in with regular cleanings already on the books, which keeps the number steady from one visit to the next. If you want us to look at a specific roofline, send that photo too and we will tell you what we see before we start.

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 the window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for both. Residential and commercial glass sees the same seasonal load, so what we find at each visit follows the season. The pollen film on south-facing glass and the paste packed into the gutters are the main spring problem. In fall the leaf load is what we see most, and clogged gutters are the usual result, while wind season moves the dates a little from year to year.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects a film that settles on the lower panes. In those cases we suggest booking the third cleaning rather than waiting for the next scheduled one. The wettest months here are January, February and December, and clogged gutters that back up in those months can send water damage toward the fascia and foundation.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. Both are easy to catch early, and both are cheaper to fix when caught before the buildup gets heavy.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and downspouts plus exterior windows at homes across Thousand Oaks, and we have worked through most of the city's neighborhoods. Homeowners often search for window cleaners and gutter crews separately, but one visit covers both. The easiest way to start is an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. From there we can usually tell you how soon a crew can come out. Clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, which many owners notice first from the street.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills fastest. Booking earlier in those months gives you more choice of day for professional window cleaning. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside, and we call before we arrive so the gate and driveway are clear. The crew checks every window from outside before starting, and tells you about any it cannot reach. If you have a set schedule in mind, tell us when you book and we will schedule service around it.
Yes. On residential properties the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the work is done in the right order.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it to you by phone or text. It is the number on the invoice when the crew finishes.
On our jobs in Thousand Oaks the outside carries most of the grit, rain dust and sprinkler spotting, so exterior glass is where the buildup shows. Cleaning the outside alone is a common and useful visit.
Most of our Thousand Oaks customers book in spring and again in fall. How often a residential window needs cleaning depends on tree cover and sprinklers, and across California the same spring and fall pattern holds, since seasonal buildup is what drives the work.
No, if we do it right. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the runoff from the roof and gutters drains off before anyone touches the windows. Doing the glass first is how dirty water ends up on clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, and the sill is wiped to remove dirt as part of the job, so neither is billed as an extra. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass with cleaning solutions suited to the job, and we do not do windows inside or pressure washing on a gutter and window visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in a condo, check whether the association controls the gutters and glass before you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
