Yes, the same two people clean 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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Florida, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, and that is the calendar we work to here as well.
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 gutter and window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. For window washing and gutter work, the number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you a written estimate from those details.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same every time: a third story or a roof too steep to walk the full length, window counts that include oversized panes and picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, sills with grime that needs more than a rinse, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. If you also want the interior and exterior glass done, that is a separate quote, since this visit covers the outside only. Regular cleanings on a set schedule are usually quoted lower per visit than a one-time job, because the crew already knows the house and its washing services need no fresh walk-through.
A recent Tallahassee job shows how this works in practice. The house had a full window count and a gutter run that had not been cleared in several seasons, and the estimate moved once we saw the back run on the ground. You can see that job and its photos here: Tallahassee job record. The lesson we take from it is that the exact number comes from stories, window count and a photo of the front of the house, not from a guess. Ask for the written estimate before you book and the number will not change on the day.

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 Tallahassee customers book both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season and once in the fall after the leaves drop, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Florida, residential and commercial buildings follow the same pattern: spring and fall.
In spring a yellow film sits on south-facing glass and tree sap packs the gutters, so the window and gutter cleaning is heavier than it looks from the ground. In the fall the leaf load comes down all at once, and clogged gutters hold the wet mat through the winter. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, and after a big blow we often come back sooner to check the runs.
Some houses, and multi-story buildings, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit keep packing the downspouts between visits, and a run that overflows all season can lead to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a mineral treatment rather than cleaning solutions. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects a film that builds faster than normal. Our crew will tell you which of those applies after the first visit.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout. Cleaning windows inside the house is a separate booking, so this visit covers the outside only.
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 cleaning services for gutters and windows across the city, and we book our slots around the two busy windows of the year, when the calendar fills. Booking starts with a phone call or a text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the estimate and a date. Ask for the window and gutter bundle so both jobs run in one visit. Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our window cleaners work with purified water fed through a pole, so the glass dries without streaks or towel lint. Professional window cleaning like this is what keeps curb appeal steady between seasons. If you want the crew on a set calendar, ask us to schedule service for the spring and fall visits at the same time you book the first one. We will hold every window and every gutter run on the list, including the sill under every pane, so nothing is missed.
Yes. Our crew does both, and the same two people work the gutters first and the glass last. Doing them in one visit means the runoff from the roof never lands on clean glass.
We do not quote from a general figure. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house for a written estimate.
On the outside, rain dust, tree sap and sprinkler spots build up fast in Tallahassee, so the glass often looks worse than the inside suggests. The outside is where the grime lands first, so that is what we clean on this visit, and we remove dirt from the frames and sills at the same time.
Most of our customers at residential properties here, condos included, book in spring and fall, once the spring grime has built up and after the leaves drop. Book early in those windows, because the calendar fills first.
No, as long as the gutters are done first. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water come down the wall, so we rinse the siding and clear the gutters and downspouts before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the standard visit, and we tell you before the visit if a track needs more time than usual.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only and do not pressure wash siding or decks on this job; if you want the inside done, ask us about it separately.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, 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.
