Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Southchase jobs, most customers book this in the spring and fall, which is when the pollen and leaves are heaviest on the glass and in the runs.
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 the gutters and the glass separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and that holds once the crew is on site.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how the crew sets up the boom or scissor lift. Window count matters, and so do picture windows, the big single panes that take more time per square foot. Gutters not cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Grime baked onto the glass by the sun takes more passes than routine dirt. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the runs can be cleaned, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers needs more than a cleaning to remove. Houses on regular cleanings usually carry less buildup, which keeps the visit short. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On a Southchase job, the quote goes up or down by what we can see from the ground and the first photo. Send a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the number of stories, and we can give you a number that holds. Ask whether a job is interior and exterior or exterior only before you book. On this visit we do exterior glass only, so pressure washing is not part of the job. For a full quote on window washing and washing services on your house, call (866) 435-6328 and we will work through it with you. Ask for a written estimate before the crew is booked, and we will send it by email. Most of our Southchase customers who book window cleaning services as part of one visit end up with a clean exterior and a clear gutter run at the same price they were quoted.
| 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 Southchase customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across Florida, the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December, and the pollen film on south-facing glass shows up in the spring window.
Each visit shows us something different. In spring we find pollen on the glass and a paste of it packed into the elbows of the downspouts. In fall we find the leaf load, which turns into a wet mat in the runs. Storm and wind seasons, including hurricane season across Florida, can move the dates, so we check the calendar when the booking is made.
Some houses need a third visit. Between cleanings, heavy tree cover over the roof means the runs fill faster and the glass collects more grit. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets more dust on the exterior glass. Multi-story buildings put the upper glass farther from the hose, so the number of stories sets the visit length. These are the cases where our crew recommends a third visit, though on our jobs we simply look at what the house needs and schedule it. Clogged gutters between visits can cause water damage to the fascia, so we flag those runs at the first visit.
Two things tell you a house needs cleaning sooner. Haze on the glass shows up when the sun is low, and that is the sign the windows need it. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain is the sign the gutters need it. We use cleaning solutions on the glass that are safe for the frames and screens, and the same crew handles residential and commercial jobs on different schedules, so the calendar is set around your house.
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.
Booking with us is simple. Call (866) 435-6328 or text for an estimate with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the date with you before the crew is scheduled. We work on residential properties in and around Southchase. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so the earlier you book in those months, the better your chance of a slot that suits you. Outside those windows we can usually fit a visit in within the lead time we give on the phone. Our crew works as cleaning services and window cleaners for homes that want a single visit, and we do professional window cleaning on the exterior of every house we visit, with the goal of keeping the curb appeal of the house steady between seasons. Each residential window gets its frame, screen and sill checked, and the crew uses purified water to remove dirt from the glass without leaving streaks. When you call, we can schedule service for a window that suits your routine, and we clean every window on the exterior, including the frame and the sill.
Yes, and it is the same crew. Our two-person crew does the gutters and downspouts first and the exterior glass after, so the dirty water from the runs does not end up on the clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and multi-story buildings are quoted the same way. We give it by phone or text once we have a photo of the front.
On our Southchase jobs the outside carries the most of what builds up here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting on the glass. Cleaning the outside alone keeps the glass clear, and the windows inside are a separate question for another visit.
Across Florida, the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December. Most of our Southchase customers book one of those two windows.
No. We do the gutters first and the glass last. Runoff from the gutters is cleared before the windows are touched, because if the glass were done first, someone would have to wash it again before the crew left.
Screens are rinsed and the sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and nothing is billed separately for them.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so interior glass and pressure washing are not part of the job.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock any side gates. Residential properties and condos follow the same steps, though a condo needs its association's rules checked before we book. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
