Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Spring and fall are when most of our Hot Springs customers book, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the stories and window count for a quote.
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 number you get from us on the phone comes from three things: how many stories the house has, the approximate window count, and what condition the gutters are in. We count every window on the house, not just the ones on the front, and each residential window counts once, whether it is a small sash or a picture pane. We quote residential properties and residential and commercial buildings the same way, by stories and window count. Put those into a text with a photo of the front of the house and we send a written estimate before any truck rolls. Window washing is priced the same way, so the bundle, both jobs in one visit, costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately, and that is why most people on our jobs take both.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day, and on a professional window cleaning job the stories matter most. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder. Oversized panes and a window count above the usual add time. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier and need more flushing, and a house with curb appeal worth protecting is usually the one we are asked to do top to bottom. Needles and leaves packed into the outlets are a bigger job than a light fall run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run under them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a two-story house with a long back run of gutter and a row of picture windows on the south side, the crew can find clogged gutters under the overhanging tree line, downspouts blocked at the elbow, and water damage starting at a fascia corner after the spring rains. The owner sends a photo and the window count by text, the quote goes out before anyone comes out, and the number we charge matches it. For a house like that, the quote moves mainly with the gutter condition and the stories, not the glass alone.
To get the exact number for your house, send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will reply with the number and what it covers.

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 Hot Springs customers book both twice a year, in the spring month and the fall month, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In spring the pollen comes down as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste packed into the gutters, and our crew sees both by the time the pollen season ends. In the leaf months the gutter load is wet and heavy, and the glass picks up dust that rain leaves behind. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book from the calendar in front of us rather than a fixed day. The cleaning services we book most often are gutters and exterior glass together, so ask us to schedule service for both in one window.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the two regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves round spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more film on the glass. Those houses are on three or four visits a year on our jobs.
You know the windows need a cleaning when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Both are easy to check from the yard.
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 crew provides window cleaning services and gutter cleaning across the Hot Springs area, from houses with a lot of glass to older homes with long gutter runs. The estimate starts with a phone call or a text with the stories and a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and in the two busy windows of the year, when leaves and spring film are at their peak, the calendar fills faster, so it is worth booking early. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of each gutter run and the finished glass before the truck leaves. Washing services for condos and multi-story buildings follow the same order of work, with each building quoted by its own stories and window count. We clear the grime and the runoff from the roof edge first, then the gutters and downspouts, then the glass, so nothing washes back onto clean windows. The crew also works to remove dirt from the window frames before the glass, and checks each downspout exit for runoff pooling near the foundation and flags it in the photos.
Yes. Our crew does both, one visit, the same two people. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not run down onto the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the stories, the window count and a photo of the front of the house, and we reply with the figure.
On the houses we see here, the outside carries a seasonal film from the air, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks worse from the outside than the inside. Cleaning the outside is the part most people notice first.
Most of our Hot Springs customers book in the spring and in the fall, after the spring bloom and after the leaves come down. Book early in those windows because the calendar fills faster then.
Not if we do the gutters first and the glass last. When a gutter is cleared above a window, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass has to come after.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, using purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass. Tracks are included on the standard visit; anything beyond that is quoted before we start.
We do exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are a separate job, and interior and exterior glass are different jobs, so this visit covers the exterior only. We do not do pressure washing.
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 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.
