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 an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Alexandria jobs most customers book in spring and fall, and that is when our crew does this work most often.
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 jobs in one visit costs less than booking them separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and the number comes from the size and layout of your house. Regular cleanings cost less per visit than a first cleaning on a house that has gone years without one, because the runs are already clear.
On our jobs, a few things move the quote. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it means more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and tall panes take longer to reach and clean evenly. A residential and commercial building with the same number of stories and windows takes about the same time on the ladder. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before the flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line will not come off with cleaning alone. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and this quote covers the outside only. Cleaning solutions are part of the price, and the glass gets a purified water rinse so it dries without streaks. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not extras we bill later.
What we need from you to quote is simple: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. Use the window and gutter count you see from the driveway and we will sort out the rest on the phone. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us that photo and we will give you the number before we book a date.
| 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 |

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 Alexandria customers book window cleaning services and gutter work twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the downspout elbows. By fall the leaf load has come down into the runs and the wet mat sits in the gutters through the winter rains. Clogged gutters that sit through the rain are the usual route to water damage, and January, November and December are the wettest months in Alexandria, with about 61 inches of rain a year.
Storm and wind seasons can move those dates. Across Louisiana the hurricane season shifts when a house most needs its gutters cleared, so we look at the sky before we confirm a day. Multi-story buildings need more set-up on the ladder, which is one more reason the price moves with the story count. Under heavy tree cover, or where a sprinkler line hits the glass, we see houses that need a third visit, because the spots that come back a day after cleaning are a sign of mineral buildup, not dirt. A house on a busy road or near construction tends to pick up grime faster, and those customers often book a third visit too. Clean glass also does the most for curb appeal, since the front windows are what the street sees first.
On the glass, what we find in April is the dust and rain film that has settled over the winter. Most people only notice the haze when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. If you see either, book a visit and we will tell you what the house needs.
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.
Booking starts with a quote by phone or text, using your number of stories and a photo of the house front. Once we have that we give you a date, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since our crew works outside and does not come inside the house.
Our crew cleans gutters and the outside of every window on the house in one visit, and we clean the sill and frame on each window as part of the job. Residential properties are our core work, and the same crew handles clean windows on single-family homes and the larger residential properties across the city. We clean each residential window from the outside, sill and frame included. Professional window cleaning and the gutter run share one setup, which is the saving on booking both. If you have a picture window or a row of tall panes, tell us when you call so we can schedule service with the right ladder and lift.
Lead times depend on the season, and the busiest weeks in spring and fall fill first. When you call, say whether you want window and gutter cleaning on the same visit or separate. Book early in those windows to keep your preferred day, and we will hold the slot once we confirm the quote. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we will confirm the day by phone.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both at once keeps the wet gutter runoff off the clean glass.
We give that number over the phone or by text, based on your house's size and window count. The quote is the number you pay.
On our Alexandria jobs, the outside carries most of the grime here: film from the spring build-up, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Our crew can remove dirt from the glass, frames and sills in one pass. Interior glass can look clean while the exterior still hazes in low sun.
Most of our Alexandria customers book in spring and again in fall, after the spring build-up and after the leaves come down. Those are the months we see the most buildup on the glass and in the runs.
Not if we follow our order. The roof, then the gutters and downspouts, get cleared and flushed first, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then do we touch the glass. Washing the windows first means washing them again.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and frames are cleaned as part of our washing services. Tracks are included on the exterior side; interior tracks are not part of this visit.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so we do not clean the windows inside the house or do pressure washing on this visit. We will tell you what else the house needs when we are on the ladder.
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 leave the side gate unlocked. If your house is one of several condos on a shared lot, check with the association about ladder access before booking.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
