Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our Calhoun customers book it in spring and fall, when spring grit and fall leaves are heaviest.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Window washing and gutter cleaning are quoted together, so you are not comparing two numbers. Booking professional window cleaning with the gutter work means one setup and one crew, which beats calling two window cleaners for two separate trips. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. On the glass we use purified water, and cleaning solutions only come in where the grime needs them. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and that is the point of doing both together.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift, a high count of oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes the time on the ladder, which is why we measure stories and windows before we quote. Multi-story buildings take longer per window because the lift has to be moved between runs. Clogged gutters that overflow can also cause water damage to siding and sills, which is why the gutters are cleared before the glass is touched.
On our Calhoun jobs, one house that moved its quote was a two-story home with a lot of glass on the back elevation and gutters that had gone several seasons without a visit. The crew needed extra time on the back run and on the windows facing the yard, and the client got a single visit instead of two. It is the kind of job where the window count and the state of the gutters decide the number, not the square footage alone. The sprinkler spots on the lower panes were on the list too and were flagged before any cleaning began.
You can get the exact number by texting a photo of the front of the house, along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. Nothing else is needed for the estimate, and windows inside the house are a separate job we quote only on request. We will call back with the figure and the time window we can offer. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us the photo, and we will give you a written estimate before anyone is booked. When you call, tell us if you want the interior and exterior priced as separate jobs.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |

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 Calhoun customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. The same two-visit schedule suits most residential properties in Calhoun. Spring is when the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and a sticky paste sits in the gutters. Fall is when the leaf load comes down and the wet mat sits in the runs before the wettest months of January through March. Both cleanings are cheaper when they are done together, and both need the gutters cleared before the glass is touched.
What we find at each visit is consistent. In spring the downspout outlets collect a sticky mix of pollen and grit, and the glass shows a yellow film that smears under a squeegee. In fall the gutters hold a wet leaf mat, and runs that skipped the visit have been seen to sag under the weight of water by the next wet season. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates, so we check the forecast before we set a day.
Some properties need a third visit. We see it on lots with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Regular cleanings keep that buildup from setting. We also see it where a sprinkler line hits the glass, because the spots that come back a day later are mineral and build up with every watering. A house close to a busy road or active construction also collects more dust on the frame, and large picture windows on that side need more frequent wiping of the sills and frames.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low and hits the glass at an angle. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. If either shows up between visits, it is time to schedule service.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across Calhoun, and we handle the full range of residential window cleaning services as well as the gutters and downspouts on the same house. For most houses this is one of our washing services, the gutters and the glass done as a single job. Calhoun properties can have very different gutter loads and window layouts, so the first step is always a short estimate by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the time we can offer. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a slot.
Lead time changes with the season. In the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills faster, so it helps to book early. Outside those windows slots open more easily. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Once the gutters are clear, the crew moves to the glass, and you will see clean windows by the end of the visit. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the crew does need the side gate open to reach the back runs and the rear windows.
We also clean condos and multi-unit buildings, and we quote residential and commercial jobs on the same basis: stories and window count. Dust, grime and runoff from a roof wash across the glass below it, so the gutters are always cleared first and every downspout is checked for flow before the crew moves to the windows. A run that is still full of leaves is the usual source of that runoff, so clearing it first keeps the glass from being hit twice. Clearing the runs first also means the crew can remove dirt from the glass without it coming straight back down. Before the crew leaves, we check every window on the outside. This keeps the cleaning on the glass from being undone by water still running off the roof.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass after, so the water and debris from the roof do not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the window count, and we give it by phone or text once we have those. We do not quote from a fixed sheet.
On houses here the outside takes the dust, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the outside is where most of the grime builds up.
Our customers here book in spring and fall. Spring picks up the film and fall picks up the leaves.
Not when the gutters go first. The leaves and grit come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass is washed last.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the window visit. They are not billed as separate items.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass or do pressure washing as part of this service.
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.
