Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it 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 homeowners who book the pair do it in the spring and fall, and our crew works the same way on every house.
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 window washing and window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the same method covers houses and condos alike. Booking the gutters and the exterior glass together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We give no figures in this section; the starting price is shown above, and the final number comes from a short look at the house.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked, window count and oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and the washing services we quote include the work to remove dirt from the frames, so none of it is billed as an extra.
Our crew handles the work the same way on every West Carson house. Gutters and downspouts get cleared and flushed before anyone touches the glass, so the runoff from the roof never lands on the panes we have just cleaned. When we quote, we ask for the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and that is enough to give you a number that holds. If the house has a lot of glass or a difficult back run, we say so on the phone before we book, so the number does not change on the ladder. Ask us for a written estimate and we will send one with the same figure we quote on the call.

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 West Carson customers book window and gutter work twice a year, one visit in the spring and one in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for this city. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing picture windows and the pollen paste sitting in the gutters, and the fall visit catches the leaf load that blows in after the wind season. Storm and wind months move those dates a little from year to year, so we book by the house rather than by the calendar.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line that throws water onto the glass, usually need a third visit on top of the regular cleanings. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and only a mineral treatment removes them. The crew sees the same thing on residential and commercial buildings close to a busy road or a construction site: more grit collects between visits, and the crew adjusts the schedule for those.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. Dust settles on both interior and exterior glass, but the outside carries most of it, and our crew uses purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left on the frames to attract more dust. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either before the scheduled visit, call and we can move the date.
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 crew cleans gutters and exterior windows across West Carson, and we book it the same way for every house. To schedule service, tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. Lead time is shown on the booking page, and in the two busiest windows of the year, when pollen and leaf season overlap with the calendar, our slots fill first, so booking early helps. Our window cleaners carry the same crew into every visit, and we call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew does not come inside, so the windows inside stay as they are. We have seen that clogged gutters push water behind the fascia and into the wall, which is how water damage starts, so the gutters are always done first. For multi-story buildings and homes with tall walls, we bring a boom or scissor lift where a ladder cannot reach safely. Professional window cleaning means every window is done from outside, the frames are wiped, and the sills are cleared, so the curb appeal of the house holds up between cleanings. Our cleaning services are scheduled per house, and the crew reports anything it cannot reach safely rather than guessing.
Yes, our crew handles window and gutter cleaning in one visit. The same two people clean the gutters first and then the outside of the glass, so you deal with one company and one schedule.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, counting every window that gets cleaned, and we give it by phone or text. We do not give a range here, because the figure depends on what the crew finds on the day.
On our West Carson residential window jobs the outside carries most of the grime: pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that sit on the outside of the pane. Clean windows from the outside keep the view sharp even when the inside is already done.
Most of our customers at residential properties here book in the spring and again in the fall, and the exact months depend on your house. Call or text us to schedule service on a date that suits you.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then let the wall dry before we touch the glass. Gutters first, glass last keeps runoff off the panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job. They are not billed as extras.
No. This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you have questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
