Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dripping from the roof lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and both jobs together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Dalton jobs, most customers book in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaf drop are at their heaviest on the glass and in the gutters.
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 method is the same for a residential and commercial building: the price depends on how many stories it has and roughly how many windows it carries. Give us those two numbers and we quote the bundle over the phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text, and the number we quote is the number on the invoice. Doing both in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately, and the exact saving shows on your quote.
Several things move the figure on our jobs. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder and the boom or scissor lift. Oversized picture windows and high panes cost more to reach from the ground. Gutters that have not been opened in years, packed with wet leaves and grit, need more time per run. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that regular cleanings do not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Cleaning solutions for the glass are part of the price too. This quote covers exterior glass only, so a job that includes interior and exterior panes is quoted on its own.
Picture a two-story house in a neighborhood with heavy tree cover and a sprinkler line hitting the front glass, with gutters full of wet leaves and grit by spring. A quote for a house like that moves because the spotting needs its own treatment on top of the cleanings, and the number of runs to flush adds time. Your own quote will come from your own house. Text a photo of the front of the house and tell us the stories and about how many windows, and we will give you the number before anyone is scheduled.
| 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 Dalton customers book cleaning services for both gutters and windows twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on this calendar. Across Georgia, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, when a film of pollen has built up on south-facing glass and the downspout elbows have packed with grit. The fall visit runs from November to early December, after the leaves have dropped and before the first hard freeze, when the wet leaf mat is what we find in the gutters.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit fill the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters come back sooner than the calendar suggests. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that return a day after cleaning, and those need watching from one visit to the next. On multi-story buildings the upper panes need the lift every time, which adds to the time on site. Left alone, clogged gutters can lead to water damage on the fascia. Our crew sees these as the reasons customers move from twice a year to three or four visits, and we tell you after the first look at your house which of those applies. Many owners also book professional window cleaning for curb appeal, since the front glass is the first thing people see.
Two signs tell you the windows need a visit: a haze that only shows when the sun is low, and streaks that come back after a rain. Windows inside the house rarely show either sign, so the outside glass is usually the first to need attention. A sign the gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain, which usually means the gutter is full. Our crew checks both on every visit and writes them in the report with photos.
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 has cleaned window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city, and the schedule fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring tree dust season and the fall leaf drop. Book early for those windows. Booking is simple: to schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, give us the number of stories and a rough window count, and we return a written estimate. Lead time is listed on the estimate, and we call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew works from the ground, the ladder and the lift, and it does not come inside. If a window cannot be reached safely, the crew photographs it and tells you on the invoice instead of guessing. Our aim is clean windows at the end of every visit: every window we can reach from outside gets the same pass, and where a sill or track is part of the job it is wiped with the rest of the frame. Residential properties are our main work here. A residential window gets the same care as every window on the house.
Yes. The same two people handle the washing services for both, cleaning the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, and they work gutters first and glass last. That order keeps dirty runoff from landing on panes that were already done.
Our window cleaning services are priced by the stories and the size of the house, and we give the number by phone or text before anything is booked. We do not quote a figure on this page because every house is different. Send us the stories and a rough window count and you will have the number.
On our Dalton jobs the outside carries most of the grime: tree dust in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the glass. The inside stays clean longer, so the outside is where a cleaning makes the most difference.
Most of our Dalton customers book in the spring, when the tree dust is heaviest, and again in the fall after the leaves drop. Book early, because those are the two busy windows and the calendar fills.
No, if the crew does it in the right order. We clear the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water coming down the wall are cleared before the windows are cleaned. Doing it the other way round is how a clean window gets dirtied again.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside. We do not bill them as extras.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, for houses and condos alike. We do not clean the inside of the windows and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. The crew sends photos of every run and window before it leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
