The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing washed down the wall ends up on the clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across California, most homeowners who book this bundle do it in spring and fall, and we are glad to quote the house in front of you.
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 a residential window job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes. Multi-story buildings take the most time on the ladder, because stories and steep roofs set it, and the window count and oversized panes set the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be flushed. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning does not remove, and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. On every job the gutters are cleared before any glass is touched, and each run is hand-cleared to remove dirt the flush would only move. Cleaning solutions and purified water are part of the price. The quote covers exterior glass only, so an interior and exterior request is priced as its own job. Window washing, washing services and window cleaning services all come down to the same visit for us, and the grime on the glass is usually the easy part. On a house where the cleanings are spaced a year apart, the glass arrives with a film that takes longer than a light pass. Regular cleanings keep that film from building, which is why we suggest the twice-a-year plan to most customers. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will send your number before a date is set.
On a recent job in the West Whittier-Los Nietos area, the quote moved with the number of stories and the picture windows across the back of the house, which needed a boom or scissor lift to reach safely. The crew cleared the gutters, flushed every downspout, and worked the glass once the wall had stopped dripping. Nothing about the price changed once the crew arrived, because the owner had sent a photo of the front of the house and the window count in advance. That is the easiest way to get your exact number, along with the stories and a photo of the front of the house, sent by text.

| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |
| Two stories | from $225 | from $240 | from $375 |

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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this bundle. In spring the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are the main things we find, and the window and gutter work both need to be done before that layer hardens. In the fall the leaf load builds up in the gutters and the downspouts clog, and the glass picks up the dust that washes down from the roof. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road can call for a third visit, because the spots that come back a day after cleaning are usually mineral and the grime comes back faster. Clogged gutters that go unchecked are where water damage starts, since water sheets over the edge and runs back toward the foundation. If the glass looks hazy only when the sun is low, the windows are overdue, and if water sheets over the gutter edge in rain, the gutters are overdue.
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 schedule service around the house, not the calendar, and we keep the estimate short: send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we come back with the number. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year when the leaf and bloom loads are heaviest, so book early if you want a particular week. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew uses a water-fed pole and purified water on the glass, so the windows dry clean without leaving streaks, and we hand-clear every run of gutters and downspouts so they are as clean as the glass. We clean every window on the outside of the house, and the crew tells you about any pane it cannot reach. Working on residential properties in the West Whittier-Los Nietos area, we have found that most of our calls come from homeowners who want one professional window cleaning visit and the gutters done alongside it. Cleaning services on this scale mean planning the route, the ladders and the lift, and we plan around each house. Window cleaners who only do glass leave the gutter runoff behind, and we do not, which keeps the curb appeal of the house intact after the visit. We will schedule service on the day that suits you within the lead time we quote on the phone.
Yes, on our jobs the same two people do both, and they do it in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text once we know those. Condos are quoted the same way, and the window count is set on the call. Send a photo of the front of the house with your estimate request so we can quote from what we see.
Yes, because the outside carries the bloom film, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Those are on the glass whether or not the inside is clean, and they cut the light and hide the view.
Across California most of our customers book in spring and fall, once each. On our West Whittier-Los Nietos jobs the two visits fall in the same seasons, timed to the leaf and bloom loads.
Not if the order is right. We clean the gutters first and let the wall stop dripping before we touch the glass, which is the reason we book both jobs together.
Screens, sills and tracks are part of the window work on this visit, and the screens go back in the window they came out of. Nothing on the exterior glass side is billed as an extra.
No, we do not clean the windows inside on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing on it. If you want that work, we will quote it separately, and a residential and commercial building is quoted on its own glass count.
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 ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
