The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean glass. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Yucaipa jobs, most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing gutters and exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two separately. Clean glass and clear gutters do most of the work for curb appeal, so the visit pays off even when nothing else on the house changes. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and it is written down before the crew leaves the yard.
What moves the quote on professional window cleaning is what the crew finds on the day. On multi-story buildings, a third story or a roof steep enough that we walk it carefully adds time. Oversized panes and a high window count do too. Gutters not cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before anything underneath can be reached. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate condition: cleaning removes the dirt, but the mineral marks stay, and we say so before we start. Clogged gutters that back water up at the fascia can lead to water damage, so clearing them is part of the price. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside are not part of this visit, so the price covers the outside only.
On a recent Yucaipa job, the quote moved because the house had a steep back roofline and a window count higher than the front suggested. The crew measured the back run, lifted the guards along it, and cleared the clogged gutters before any glass was touched, so the final number matched the phone estimate. For a number of your own, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the stories and a rough window count, and we will come back with one figure.

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 here book cleaning services for both twice a year, in the spring once the tree bloom settles and again in the fall after the leaves drop, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a calendar like this.
In the spring we find pollen films on south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters. Residential properties see this most, and every window on a south-facing wall picks it up first. In the fall the leaf load is the main job, and the leaf mat in the downspouts is what backs water up behind the fascia. Storm and wind seasons move these dates from year to year, so we look at the house before we set the schedule rather than working from a fixed calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits, and we can schedule service for that third visit at the first one. A sprinkler line hitting a residential window leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or ongoing construction picks up a film faster than a quiet street. Houses like these are on every three to four months.
You can tell the windows need it when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 washing services reach across the Yucaipa area, and our window cleaning services are booked with gutter work in the same visit. Gutters and downspouts are always done first, and the neighborhoods where we have worked are the ones our customers have asked us about most. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. From there we give you a slot, and the lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week.
Our calendar fills up in the two busy windows of the year, when the spring tree bloom and the fall leaf drop arrive together with the first rain. Book before those windows if you can. When a gutter is blocked, runoff spills over the edge and carries grime down onto the glass below, so the gutters come first. The crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the panes without leaving streaks. We call before we come, so nobody arrives unannounced, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this visit covers the outside only. If your home is one of the condos on a shared roof, tell us when you call so we can plan the ladder access. For an estimate, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your stories and a rough window count. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it before the crew is scheduled.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two-person crew doing both in one visit. Gutters are done first and the glass last, so the water and grit from the gutters do not run back onto clean windows. Homes are the focus here, but the order of work stays the same for residential and commercial buildings.
The number depends on the stories and the size of the house, so we give it by phone or text from those details. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will send one figure you can plan around.
Usually yes for the outside alone, because the outside carries the grime, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Regular cleanings keep that film from building up, and clean glass on the outside is what most people notice first from the street.
Most of our Yucaipa customers book cleanings in the spring once the tree bloom settles and again in the fall after the leaves drop. Book early in those windows, because our calendar fills up fast then.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. When the glass is washed first, the leaves and grit from the gutters wash down the wall and across the panes, so someone has to clean them again.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. We use purified water instead of cleaning solutions, and picture windows get the same pole-and-water treatment as the rest. Tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior glass visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are separate jobs, so we do not clean inside the windows, and we do not do pressure washing at this visit.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
