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 both jobs done together cost less than two separate trips. Across Georgia, our crews book this combined service in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves build up fastest on the houses we clean.
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 window and gutter cleaning 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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window cleaning services are quoted per house, and that number holds once the crew is on the ladder. We work on residential and commercial buildings, but this page is about houses, so every figure here is for a home.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A window count that runs high, or oversized picture windows that take two people to reach safely, adds time. A film of pollen on the glass takes longer to rinse than a light dusting. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more hands. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are part of the job, and so is hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which no cleaning removes and which we will tell you about before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions are used only on glass that needs them, and the price covers them. Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass together; this bundle covers the exterior only.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. Include the back if the gutters wrap around it. That gives us what we need to quote the window and gutter cleaning before a crew is scheduled, with no surprises when the truck pulls in. If you book regular cleanings, the second visit uses the same count, so the number does not drift.
| 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 Buford customers book both cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. On the glass in April we find a pollen film on the south-facing windows, and the gutters hold pollen paste that has turned to a dense mat. In the fall the leaf load is the bigger job, and wet leaves in the runs are heavier than most people expect. Our fall visits usually land in November to early December. Plenty of window cleaners only do the glass, and that leaves the gutters for a second trip.
Storm and wind seasons can move those dates, so we confirm the visit a few days out rather than locking a week in advance. Across Georgia, tropical remnants are the storm to watch for, and Buford gets about 58 inches of rain a year, with the wettest months in January, July and August. Houses with three or more stories count as multi-story buildings in our quote, and they take longer on the ladder. Some houses need a third visit. If there is heavy tree cover over the roof, the needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. If a sprinkler line hits the glass, the spots come back a day after cleaning, and that is a mineral problem that repeat cleanings will not fix on their own. A house near a busy road or a construction site also gathers more grime on the glass, so it needs a closer look, and the crew may need extra passes to remove dirt that has built up on the frames. Clogged gutters are the usual route to water damage, since runoff that spills over the edge soaks the siding and the wall below it. These are the cases where scheduled visits keep the house clear, and where the gutters can clog faster than the season suggests.
Our crew books this with the same care whether the house is new to us or a repeat customer. Professional window cleaning is the same job every time: gutters first, then glass. You will know a window needs cleaning when the glass looks hazy only when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain, instead of running into the downspout. Clean glass and clear gutters also do the most for curb appeal, since both show from the street.
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 crews have worked across the neighborhoods of Buford, and we schedule service for residential properties and homes that want clean windows at street level and upstairs. Our window cleaning services reach every window on the exterior of the house, including the sill and the frame. A residential window under a gutter run is done after the gutters and downspouts are cleared, so the glass matches the work above it. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once we have that, we tell you the next open date and the lead time for your slot, and that lead time covers our window and gutter cleaning on the same visit.
The two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, fill the calendar fastest. If you want a slot in those months, book early so we can schedule your visit with the crew that fits your house. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works outside only, so windows inside are not part of the visit, and you get the photos afterward.
Yes, our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two people on the same visit, with gutters and downspouts cleared first so the glass gets cleaned last.
We do not give a figure in this answer, because the price comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we will give you the number before we book. If the home is one of the condos on a shared roof, say so when you call, since the gutter run may serve more than one unit.
On the houses we clean, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks hazy from the street even when the inside is clean. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes the curb appeal of the house.
Our Buford customers book in spring and fall, so those are the months that fill first. Pick the month that fits your schedule, and we will confirm the date with you.
No, that is why we clean gutters first and glass last. Runoff from a dirty roof carries grime down the wall, so the crew clears the runs to remove dirt first. Once the downspouts are flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches a window.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and the tracks are included on the exterior. Downspout flushing is included too, so you do not see those as extra line items.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so the crew does not touch the windows inside the house. Our washing services cover the outside of the glass and the frames, and we do not offer pressure washing for siding or decks. Ask us about the outside of the house, and we will tell you what the crew can reach.
You do not need to be home for exterior work. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. Call (866) 435-6328 to confirm your visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
