Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by what comes off the roof. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Clarkston jobs most customers book this in spring and fall, when tree debris and leaves build up fastest.
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 price comes from 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not in this quote. Cleaning solutions, water and ladder or lift time are all in the number.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones the crew sees from the ground. A third story or a steep roof takes longer to reach safely. Window count and picture windows change the time on the glass. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before any water can flow. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone does not remove, so we note it on the visit rather than promising it will come off.
Here in Clarkston, the quote depends on what the crew finds on the day, which is why we ask for the stories and a photo of the front of the house by text before anyone books a slot. The photo lets us see the roofline and the glass. Clogged gutters on the back run of a multi-story building need the boom or scissor lift to reach, and that is priced into the number. Water damage that has already started behind a run is photographed and reported, never sold as a repair. For a firm number, text us the stories, the approximate window count, and a photo of the house, and ask for a written estimate. Our window washing and window cleaners' work on the outside of the glass is the same visit as the gutters, and professional window cleaning on the glass starts with the same ladder position. That is where the curb appeal of the house comes from once the gutter water is no longer running across it.
| 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 Clarkston customers book both gutter cleaning and window cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Georgia the same two windows hold for most houses, and the exact timing follows the spring and fall months in our field notes.
In spring the pollen film shows on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutter elbows. In fall the leaf load builds into a wet mat that sits in the runs until it is cleared. Storm and wind seasons can move both dates, so the calendar is a guide, not a fixed rule. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction usually means a third visit, because the spots return a day after cleaning or the debris keeps coming. We see the same pattern on the houses that keep their schedule service on track, and regular cleanings are what keep the buildup from setting.
Once a year is often enough for a house with few or no trees and a sprinkler system that does not reach the glass. Three or four cleanings a year is what we see under heavy trees. Clean windows look sharp in full sun, and haze that only shows when the sun is low is the sign the glass needs cleaning. Gutters that send water over the edge in rain are the sign they need clearing.
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.
We clean residential properties across Clarkston, and the crew works from the same ladder position on each side of the house. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Both residential and commercial buildings are quoted from the stories and a photo of the front. Lead time is set by the calendar that week, and during the two busy windows of the year the slots fill first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our window cleaning services and washing services cover every window we can reach from the outside, and each residential window gets the same pass. The gutters and downspouts run in the same visit. Runoff from the roof is cleared before the glass is touched, so the wash water does not carry the grime from the gutters onto the panes. The crew uses the same method for the grime on the glass as for the grime on the frame, so the sill and frame get done too. Condos and multi-story buildings with a shared roof are booked as one job, and the crew clears each run in turn before moving on. Between visits we do not claim to keep the glass clean, but we can remove dirt from the same runs and windows on the next scheduled trip.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they do the gutters first and the glass last. We do it that way on every job so nothing comes off the roof onto the clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Text us the stories and a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we give you the number before the crew books a slot.
On our Clarkston jobs the outside carries the most grime: rain dust, road film and sprinkler spots build up on the outer glass first. Cleaning the inside does not reach any of that, so the outside is the part that changes how the house looks from the street.
Most of our customers here book regular cleanings in spring and fall, after the spring bloom and after the leaves drop. Across Georgia the same two windows hold for most houses.
No, because the crew does gutters first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and the black water under them come down the wall, so the glass is cleaned after that water has stopped running.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the visit, and we note any that need more work before we leave.
Exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior cleaning together is a separate quote, and pressure washing is not part of this job.
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 the 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.
