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 down clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and having both jobs done in one visit costs less than booking them as two trips. Across California, most of our customers book this in the spring and in the fall, and the crew that quotes it is the crew that cleans it.
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, and the bundle of gutters and downspouts with the windows, done in one visit, costs less than booking the two separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. What we quote is a starting point for the job; the final figure is set by what the crew finds on the day, and we tell you before any extra work starts.
On our jobs the things that change a quote are the same few things every time. A third story or a steep roof that needs the boom or scissor lift changes the setup. A large window count or oversized picture windows take longer per pane. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced by what the crew has to lift. Hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is the one thing no cleaning removes, and we say so when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing, sill wiping and the cleaning solutions we use on the glass are part of the job and are not billed as extras. An interior and exterior window job is priced separately, since this visit covers the outside only.
On a window and gutter cleaning job at a house with heavy grime on the sill and a row of picture windows, we found the quote was driven by the window count and the lift height, not the gutter length. Send a photo of the front of the house by text and tell us the stories and an approximate window count, and we can give you the exact number before the crew is scheduled. Residential and commercial jobs follow the same rule, and so do multi-story buildings: the number comes from the building and what is in the gutters, not from a guess. Regular cleanings on the same house use the same details, so the repeat quote is worked out the same way.
| 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 jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The spring visit runs mid to late June across California, and the fall visit runs late November to December.
In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the downspout elbows. Storm and wind seasons move these dates a little, so the calendar on our phone line is the one to trust. Our cleaning services are scheduled around those two visits, and our window cleaners work the glass in the same order every time.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between visits, and 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 more dust on the sill and the frame. On those houses we tell you what we see and suggest the timing, and the decision stays with you. Dirt a wipe will not remove gets photographed before anyone adds to the job.
Regular cleanings on a schedule keep the work from building up into something harder to remove, and professional window cleaning keeps the curb appeal of the front of the house where people see it. The sign that windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout, because clogged gutters are the usual start of water damage at the fascia.
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 window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city as a whole, and our window cleaning services cover residential window work and residential properties alike. The first step is an estimate by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot. Lead time is set by the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, late spring and late fall, our schedule fills first. Book early in those months to get the date you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew calls before we come, works from the outside, and does not enter the house. When we arrive we check the clean windows and every window against the estimate, plus the gutters and every sill, so the visit matches what was quoted. If a sill or a frame needs more than a wipe, we photograph it and tell you before doing anything extra.
To schedule service, text a photo of the roofline or call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a written estimate. We will give you a date that works for the house, not a date that works for the route.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, with the gutters first and the glass last. We run our own crews, so the people who quote the job are the people who do it.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo, and we give the number before the visit. A two-story house is quoted from its stories, its window count and what is in the gutters, and the quote is the number on the invoice.
On the houses and condos we see here, the outside carries the pollen film in spring, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. Those sit outside, so cleaning the inside does not reach them. The outside is what most people notice first when they look at the front of the house.
Across California our customers book in the spring and the fall, with the spring visit running mid to late June and the fall visit running late November to December. Those are the windows we book the most.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. Doing it in the other order sends runoff across panes that were already done.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks and frames are wiped too, and none of it is billed as an extra. Heavy buildup on a sill is photographed and reported before any additional work starts.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit, and we do not do windows inside the house or pressure washing. For those, we can point you to other washing services.
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. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
