The same two people clean your 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 out of the gutters. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Across Louisiana, most of the homes we do are booked in the spring and fall, when leaves and storm debris pile up, and the number we quote on the phone is the number we charge.
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 the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking professional window cleaning and the gutters separately. People searching for window cleaners or window washing usually want a number before anyone climbs a ladder, and that is the figure we give. The number we give you by phone or text is the number on the invoice, and we will ask for a photo of the front of the house so we can see the roofline before we quote.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are the ones you can see from the ground: a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, a high number of oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning will remove. Multi-story buildings and houses with a third floor need the taller setup, so they are quoted with that in mind. Windows inside the house are not part of the quote. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Many owners book for curb appeal, and the gutters and the front glass are the first things the neighbors see.
Across Louisiana, the houses that cost more to do are the ones with the most glass and the most roofline, and a clogged gutter that has already caused water damage to the fascia takes longer than a clean one. To get the exact number, text us the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house, and we will come back with the figure before anyone climbs a ladder. Ask for a written estimate and we will send it the same day we walk the house.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $230 |
| Two stories | from $185 | from $200 | from $310 |
| Three stories | from $240 | from $270 | from $410 |
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.
Across Louisiana, most of our customers book gutter and window cleaning twice a year, and that is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense on a regular schedule. Most of our cleaning services go to residential properties, and the same two visits suit most of them. The spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, when the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the residue packs the elbows of the downspouts. The fall visit usually falls in December to early January, when the leaf load comes down in a wet mat. Hurricane season can move either date, since Louisiana takes more landfalls than nearly any state.
Houses under heavy tree cover, or with a sprinkler line that hits the glass, usually need a third visit, because the spotting from sprinklers comes back a day after cleaning on every window it hits, and needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A house close to a busy road or a construction site also tends to need the glass done more often than a quiet street. Most of the cleanings we do on these houses are cleanings on the same schedule as the first visit, and we will tell you after the first visit which schedule your house actually needs. Clean windows stay clean longer when the gutters above them are cleared first, and we wipe every sill on the schedule so the grit does not build up between visits.
You will know a residential window needs attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low, and you will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in rain. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline, and we will set up the next visit.
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 window cleaning services and gutter work are booked through an estimate by phone or text, using the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and the slot is set once we have that. Lead time depends on the season and is confirmed when you book, so ask us for the next open date when you call (866) 435-6328. Washing services on the outside of the house need nobody home, and we call before we come, every time.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring season and the fall leaf season, and the calendar fills quickly then, so the sooner you book in those periods the better your chance of the date you want. We book residential and commercial jobs the same way: condos, commercial buildings and multi-story buildings with a lot of glass are scheduled around the same windows and get the same photos of every run and every pane. Gutters and downspouts are checked for runoff at the outlet, grime on the frames is wiped on every visit, and the crew uses its pole to remove dirt from the glass without scraping it. Anything we cannot reach safely is photographed and reported rather than guessed at.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the outside of the windows second, in one visit, so the glass is not dirtied again by what comes out of the gutters.
We do not quote from a fixed figure. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you get it by phone or text before we come. We quote residential and commercial jobs the same way.
On our jobs in Louisiana the outside carries most of the grime. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the glass and the frames, and the inside does not see any of it. Picture windows show the buildup the clearest, since there is more glass to look through.
Across Louisiana, most of our customers book in spring and fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down, so those are the two windows we see most. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the glass and gutters clear between storms.
Not if the order is right. Gutters first, glass last, so the water and debris from the runs are gone before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them as extras on this visit. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so nothing is left behind to streak.
No. This visit is exterior only; we do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Leave the side gate unlocked, turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
