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 from the roof runs back onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across California, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, once the seed drop and the leaves have come down.
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 done in one visit costs less than booking gutters and windows separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and it covers exterior work only. A job that needs interior and exterior glass is priced separately, and we say so on the phone. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you a firm figure from there.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the same ones every time: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, a window count with oversized picture windows that take longer to reach, gutters that have not been opened in years and come down packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Clearing gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is rinsed with purified water and no cleaning solutions, so it dries clean. Our crew handles washing services, window washing and the rest of the exterior glass on the same visit, so the window cleaning services and the gutter work stay on one invoice.
Across California, the houses we see with heavy grime on the glass are usually the ones that have gone a long time between cleanings, so regular cleanings tend to keep the bill lower over the years. If you want the exact number, send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, and the crew will tell you what to expect before anyone is scheduled.

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 customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for this city. In spring the pollen film builds up on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters, and by fall the leaf load is what we find on the roof and in the runs. Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we schedule around the weather rather than the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means the downspouts fill between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after we leave. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the window frames and sills than the rest of the block. Those are the houses where the third visit pays off, and the crew will tell you on the first visit whether yours is one of them. Clogged gutters are the usual cause of water damage we see at the eaves, and that is the reason we check the runs before we leave.
The sign that the windows need attention is haze you only notice when the sun is low, and the sign that the gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. If you see either, call (866) 435-6328 and ask for a slot. Our crew works outside only, and nobody needs to be home for either job.
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 crews work across the city and clean the exterior of residential and commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings and condos, under the same process. Cleaning services for residential properties go the same way as for a larger property: we confirm the stories and the window count, look at the roof from the ground, and set a date. Many of the window cleaners who call us ask how fast a slot opens, and the honest answer is that it depends on the season, so we tell you the lead time when you book.
Booking is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front with the number of stories, and we will come back with a number. We call before we come, and we do not show up unannounced. Professional window cleaning means the crew arrives with the water-fed pole and purified water already set up, and we make sure every window gets done, the sill included, so you are not left with a missed pane. If you want to schedule service for the spring or fall run, ask early, because those two windows fill first.
We want the outside of your home to look right, which is what curb appeal really comes down to, and clean gutters and glass do most of that work. Reach out and we will get the date on the calendar.
Yes. The two people who clean your gutters are the same two who clean the outside of your windows, so the work happens in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last so runoff never lands on clean panes.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and the approximate window count, and we will tell you what the job costs before the crew is scheduled.
Usually the outside is where the dirt is. Pollen film, rain dust and sprinkler spots collect on the glass, and they stay there until someone comes out to remove dirt from them. Cleaning the inside does not reach any of that.
Our customers here book in spring and fall, after the pollen drop and again after the leaves come down. Across California the pattern is the same, so booking ahead of those two windows gets you a slot.
It will if the glass is done first. We clear the gutters, flush the downspouts and let the wall drip before we touch a window, so nothing comes down onto the panes we just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned on every residential window we do as part of the exterior job. None of it is billed as an extra on the invoice.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. If you need interior work, tell us when you call and we will point you to the right service.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
