Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back across clean panes. 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 in spring and fall, when pollen and leaves have built up enough to show on the glass and in the gutters.
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, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, since a professional window cleaning crew only has to set up once. Some window cleaners charge for the gutters as a separate trip, so ask for both on one quote. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What moves it on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that has to be worked from a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized panes such as picture windows, gutters that have not been cleared in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that ordinary cleaning solutions will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window washing is priced for the exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work never get blended into one number, and the windows inside are not part of the quote.
Getting an exact number is simple. Text us the front of the house and tell us the stories and roughly how many windows face the street and the back. If there is a lot of heavy tree cover over the roof, say so, because it changes how much debris is in the gutters. We look at the photo and call back with the figure, and nothing is added to it on the ladder. Here is one way the numbers come out. On a customer job we saw a two-story house with heavy leaf load and a sprinkler line hitting the front glass, and the quote moved up because of the debris and the spotting, not the window count. Hard-water spotting is cosmetic and not the same as dirt, so it is quoted separately if we find it. The clogged gutters are cleared in the same visit as the glass, which is why the price on the phone includes both.
Each job is different, and what we quote is based on the house in front of us. Clean gutters and glass also do a lot for curb appeal. Water damage is what we look for when we are on the roof, since a sagging run or a pulled hanger can start soaking the fascia. We photograph it and put it in the report, and we do not sell anything on the spot. The point of the phone call is to get you a fixed number before the truck is sent.

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 customers here book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for a Tustin home. On the glass in spring we find the pollen film on south-facing windows and the pollen paste packed into the gutters, and by fall the leaf load has usually built up to the point where the downspouts start to back up. Those are the two times we see the most work per house, so they are the two times to schedule service.
Some homes need a third visit. The houses we see more often are those with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings, and those with a sprinkler line hitting the glass, where the spots come back a day after cleaning. A residential window job at a house near a busy road or a construction site often needs the extra pass, since that grime builds on the outside glass faster. Rain and wind seasons can move the dates on any of this, so regular cleanings get booked at the end of each job rather than guessed at later.
Two signs tell you it is time to book our cleaning services. Every window in the house can show a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and that is the film from dust and pollen. Gutters show runoff sheeting over the edge during rain, which means the runs are full and need clearing. Clean windows stay that way longer when the gutters above them run clear, since overflow runs down the glass. Either sign is a good reason to call before the next scheduled visit rather than wait.
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.
We clean the gutters and exterior windows for homes across Tustin, and we handle residential and commercial work, from the wider run of residential properties to the occasional small office, a row of condos or a set of multi-story buildings. Our window cleaning services start with a quick estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, so we can plan the crew and the equipment before we arrive. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills faster, so it helps to call early rather than late.
Once the slot is set, we call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our washing services are done from the outside of the house, and the crew does not come inside. Getting it on the calendar is the only step on your end, and the rest of the visit runs from the number we gave you on the phone. Our schedule is built around the gutters and downspouts and the glass together, so one visit is enough to remove dirt from both, and you do not have to think about who is doing which part.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We do not hand the gutter part to a separate company.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front and tell us the stories, and we will call back with an exact figure before the crew is sent.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen film, dust and sprinkler spots, and those sit on the glass whether or not the inside is clean. Keeping up with regular cleanings keeps the outside from building up between visits.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall, when the pollen and leaf loads have built up.
No. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts and let the wall stop dripping before we touch the glass, so nothing runs back across clean panes. Clearing the gutters is how we remove dirt before it ever reaches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Picture windows are cleaned from the same pole setup as the rest of the glass. Tracks are included on the visit and are not billed as an extra.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work are not bundled into one price. We use a water-fed pole and purified water rather than cleaning solutions, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
