Yes, the same two people clean your 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 doing both jobs together in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across California, and on our Wildomar jobs, this is the combination most homeowners book for the spring and fall cleanings.
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 gutter cleaning as one bundle, by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing the gutters and downspouts together with the exterior glass in one visit is cheaper than booking window cleaning services as two separate jobs, and the exact saving is shown on your estimate.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are consistent. A third story or a roof steep enough that the crew has to work from a boom or scissor lift changes the setup, and so do condos with a shared roofline. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes, which take longer to rinse and dry. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take more time per run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced by the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one thing a cleaning will not remove; it needs a separate treatment and we say so before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras.
Across California, the quotes we give most often come from the same handful of details, so the fastest way to a firm number is a photo of the front of the house sent by text, plus your story count and a rough window count. We check those against the house and give you one figure. Across California, when we visit a home with heavy grime on the glass from road runoff, or with clogged gutters that have been holding water for months, the crew spends more time on the glass and the gutters to remove dirt that has set into the surface, and that time shows up on the estimate. Ask for the exact number before we book; we would rather quote it than guess at it on the day.

|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $170 | from $275 |

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 Wildomar customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and they book them together so one crew handles both in one visit. In the spring, the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows; by the time the sun is high, that film shows as a haze across the panes. Picture windows show that haze first, since the big single pane makes every streak easy to see. In the fall, the leaf load settles in the runs, and on houses with trees over the roof the downspouts clog before the next rain.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates a little from year to year, so we book against what the glass and the gutters look like on the day, not against the calendar alone. Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof is the common reason, since needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than the same house across the street.
Our crew follows a simple rule with these houses. We ask about the trees, the sprinkler heads and the traffic on the first visit, then set the schedule from what we see, instead of applying one cleaning plan to every house on the street. Cleaning solutions are only part of the picture; the timing and the access do most of the work on regular cleanings.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge of the run during rain instead of running out through the downspout. Residential and commercial properties follow the same signs, though commercial buildings are usually on a set schedule. Glass on the interior and exterior often needs attention on different schedules, but our visits cover the exterior only.
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 Wildomar, and our crew works from one estimate to the next without a separate sales step. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text us your story count and a photo of the front of the house, and we return a firm number and an arrival window. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest weeks of the year are the spring and fall windows described above, when our calendar fills first. Book early in those months rather than waiting for the first rain.
Our cleaning services cover the exterior of the house in one visit, and our window cleaners work from a pole with purified water, so every window dries clear without a towel. Professional window cleaning means the crew arrives with the water, the poles and the lifts already set up; nothing is left for the homeowner to arrange. That also keeps the day short, which matters on a two-story house with clogged gutters, where the water damage from a blocked run can already be showing on the fascia. The walk-around is the same for a single-family house as for multi-story buildings: we check access and height before anyone sets a ladder or lift. Clean glass and clear runs also do a lot for curb appeal from the street.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. We do not clean windows inside on this visit, so the glass work stays on the outside of the house.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the runs does not end up on clean panes. The same two people handle the roof, the gutters and the outside of the windows.
The number comes from your story count and window count, not from a fixed rate. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we give you one firm figure before we book.
On our residential window jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen film in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build on the glass. Cleaning the outside alone still makes a visible difference to the view through the glass.
Most of our Wildomar customers book in the spring and in the fall, once the pollen has finished dropping and again after the leaves are down. Booking early in those months keeps you ahead of the busy weeks.
Not when we do the job. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass. That order is the reason for doing both in one visit.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior work, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are cleaned where they can be reached from outside.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this job; the crew sticks to the windows and gutters.
No, you do not need to be home for exterior work. 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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
