Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Spring and fall are when most people call us, and we have been doing this work on the same schedule since the first season we ran it across Florida.
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 bundling the gutters with window washing in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge, and it comes out of a short conversation with you about the house, including how much curb appeal matters to you and whether a professional window cleaning crew should handle the upper panes.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. Multi-story buildings take longer than a two-story house, and a third story or a steep roof needs a boom or scissor lift. A large number of oversized panes adds time to the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, need more hands and more water. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate step that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Hollywood jobs the fastest way to get the exact number is a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. A recent job for a two-story home near the coast had tall picture windows and clogged gutters from a season of storms, and the quote moved mostly on the gutter work because the water damage behind the fascia had to be checked before anyone set a ladder. We put that in the estimate before we came out so nothing was a surprise on the day.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Hollywood customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On the glass in April we find a pollen film on the south-facing panes, and in the gutters the pollen has turned into a paste that holds the seeds. In the fall the leaf load comes down all at once, and the wet mat is what sags the hangers on houses that skipped the visit.
Heavy tree cover over the roof means a third visit for many of our customers, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses need a closer look each season. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust, so the crew checks every window on those for a dust film before it leaves, and those houses are on a shorter schedule too.
On glass that was clean at the last visit, you will see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a heavy rain instead of running down the downspout. Our crew works on the residential window and residential properties side of the schedule and will set up regular cleanings on a fixed date so you do not have to think about it, and we can schedule service around storm seasons when they move the dates.
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.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text to book the estimate. You give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we confirm a slot. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you call the better your chance at the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We do both washing services and window cleaning services for residential and commercial buildings, from single houses to small buildings, and the same crew handles the gutters and downspouts in the same visit. Grime on the glass and clogged gutters with leaves are the usual reasons people call, and the crew will remove dirt from the frame, the screen and the sill before it leaves. Runoff from a roof can stain a wall below the gutter, and we look at that when we clean the run. We also do condos and other multi-story buildings, which take a scheduled route rather than a single visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both together means one setup and one trip.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure before we book.
On our Hollywood jobs the outside carries most of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass often looks worse from outside than inside. Cleaning the outside alone makes a visible difference.
Most of our customers here book regular cleanings in spring and in fall. Those are the months when the pollen and the leaf load are heaviest, so the calendar fills early.
No, because the gutters go first and the glass goes last. If the glass were washed first, the leaves, grit and black water from the gutters would run down the wall onto it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the crew picks the cleaning solutions to match the frame. Tracks are cleaned on request and are included in the same visit.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, 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.
