Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing washed down from the roof ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and having both done in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this twice a year, in spring and in fall, and they tell us the one-visit plan is the simplest way to keep both on schedule.
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.
Window cleaning services for a house are quoted by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and when both jobs are done in one visit the bundle costs less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Stories and steep roofs, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes all change the figure, and we tell you which of them apply before we book. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are quoted separately, and this visit covers exterior glass only.
Our crew sees how window washing and gutter work differ on the day: window washing is mostly about the glass and frames, while the gutters carry the grime that runs down onto the sills below them. Most homes need the same care as commercial window washing services provide on multi-story buildings, scaled to the house. Regular cleanings keep the load manageable, and a home that goes years without one usually needs more time on the roof. Picture windows take longer to reach and to rinse evenly, and every window on the house goes into the count on the phone.
On a recent job in View Park-Windsor Hills, the number moved because the house had three stories on the street side, a long run of gutter that had not been opened in years, and a set of oversized panes across the front. The crew measured each run and each pane and gave the customer the figure before starting. That is how we handle every quote: we measure, we say the number, and we keep to it. To get your exact figure, call us, or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will tell you what the visit will cost.
| 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 twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Each visit shows us something different. In the spring, the pollen film on south-facing glass and the grit in the gutters are the main work, and the clogged gutters hold can back water up under the shingles. In the fall, the leaf load is what we clean out, and it is the heaviest of the year on most roofs.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. The same timing applies to residential and commercial buildings across California. Heavy rain in the winter can wash the glass clean for a while, but it also carries dust, leaves and runoff into the gutters, so a visit right after a long wet stretch is often worth it. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction gets dirtier faster, and those are the houses where the spots come back a day after cleaning or the gutters and downspouts fill between visits.
One of our View Park-Windsor Hills customers is on the twice-a-year schedule with no trees over the roof. Another, with heavy tree cover and sprinkler spotting on the windows, is on three or four visits a year. Windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts.
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 have cleaned residential properties across View Park-Windsor Hills, condos included, and our cleaning services are booked through a short estimate by phone or text. Tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will tell you when we can schedule service. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills, follow the spring and fall visit months. Book early for those weeks. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside and does not come inside, so you can keep your schedule while we do the glass and the gutters. We bring professional window cleaning equipment and the cleaning solutions for the glass and frames, and we bring the boom or scissor lift for the taller runs. Our aim is to give you clean glass and clear gutters and downspouts that keep curb appeal and protect the house from water damage.
If you have a question about the job, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will tell you whether one visit covers the whole house. Ask for a written estimate and we will send the figure in writing before the crew is booked.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both together means nothing washed off the roof ends up on clean glass.
For a residential window and gutter job, the number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front, and we will quote the exact figure before the crew is booked.
Yes, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots. Those build up on the glass between visits, and the inside cannot remove them. Cleaning the outside is how we remove dirt, and it is the part that changes how the windows look from the street.
Most of our customers book in spring and in fall, once the spring bloom fades and once the leaves are down. Those two visits cover the seasons when the gutters and glass need the most work.
No. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the roof are gone before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included when they are reachable from the outside.
We do not clean windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. This is exterior glass only, done by the same crew that cleans the gutters.
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 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.
