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 an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Athens jobs most of our customers book it in the spring and again in the fall, and we keep the number we quote on the phone the number on your invoice.
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.
The price comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and our window and gutter pricing for one visit costs less than booking gutters and glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and what we quote before we arrive is what you pay when the crew leaves.
On the day, the crew sees what moves the number. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to work safely. Oversized picture windows and a high number of panes add time to the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, need more passes. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different job that no ordinary cleaning removes, so we flag it before we quote for it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Gutter and window cleaning on a house with some age to it can turn up more than the outside of the glass. The cleaning solutions we use on the glass are the same ones we use on every job, and the crew adjusts for the grime on a given house, not for a generic one. The visit covers the outside of the glass only, and we don't quote interior and exterior glass as one job. On our Athens jobs, the houses with the most pollen on the glass in spring and the most packed downspouts in the fall are the ones that need the most time, so we tell you that when we give you the estimate.
To get an exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send us the stories and a rough window count with a photo of the front of the house. If the property is a residential and commercial mix, tell us when you call, because the estimate starts from different questions. Ask about regular cleanings if you want the same crew on a set schedule. We ask about picture windows and sills so the estimate matches what we will actually find on the day.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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.
On our Athens jobs most customers book gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why bundling our cleaning services in one visit makes sense on that schedule.
At the spring visit we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed into the gutters. In the fall we find the leaf load, the wet mat that sits in the runs and the grit that washes down the downspouts. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so we look at the house before we fix a day.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit build up between visits, and clogged gutters follow close behind. Runoff from those runs washes grit down the fascia and onto the sill below. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the round spots that come back a day after cleaning. Multi-story buildings take longer, because each floor needs its own setup on the pole. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the frames and sills. A gutter that stays clogged through a wet season lets water run behind it, and that is how water damage starts.
Windows tell you they need professional window cleaning when the haze shows only when the sun is low, and that is the same signal most window cleaners look for. Haze on the windows inside is condensation or a seal problem, not outside grime, and cleaning the outside will not fix it. Gutters tell you when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also do more for curb appeal than most people expect.
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 by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: send us the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a slot. Lead time depends on the season and the day of the week, and the two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our washing services for window and gutter cleaning are done from the ladder and the pole, so the crew never has to come inside the house.
We clean the exterior glass and gutters on residential properties across the city, and the crew works on each residential window and each run the same way, one at a time, until every window and every gutter on the house is done. Clean windows are the result we are paid for, and a clogged gutter is the reason most of these calls start. Sill and frame are part of the visit, not a separate line.
Yes, our washing services for gutters and glass come from the same two people in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
We don't give a figure on a blog; the number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text.
On our jobs the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass gets grime faster from outside than from inside, and a cleaning is how you remove dirt from the outside.
Most of our customers here book in spring and again in fall, after the pollen and leaves have dropped.
No, that is why we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the runoff from the runs washes down before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the visit, so none of them is billed on its own.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit; we do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing. If you live in one of the condos, the association may own the exterior glass, so check before you book.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside 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.
