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 washed down from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Louisiana, most of our jobs are booked in spring and fall, when pollen and falling leaves build up fastest on the roofline and the glass.
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 our window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the windows separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number we charge for our washing services, and it comes from those figures.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time and more safety setup. A residential window above the first floor takes a pole and more setup, and that shows up in the quote. Oversized picture windows and tall multi-story buildings take longer per pane, so window washing on those takes longer and shows up in the quote. Gutters and downspouts that have not been cleaned in years come out packed with needles, seeds and leaves, and the grime under that debris adds time at each outlet. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is common on the glass. A regular wash will remove dirt, but it will not take off mineral etching, so we note the spotting on the visit. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, and we reach every window we can safely access, so none of it is billed as an extra. If the unit is one of several condos in a building, tell us when you book, since the gutter runs and the windows we can reach depend on the building.
On a recent Bayou Cane job, the quote came up because the house had a steep front roof, a row of oversized windows on the second floor, and two downspouts that had been blocked for a long time. The crew cleared the runs, flushed each downspout until the water ran clear, and rinsed the screens before wiping the sills. The quote covered all of it because we set the price from what we found on the ladder. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the front of the house with the story count, and we send the exact number.
Gutter and window cleaning costs more when the job includes mineral cleaning on the glass, but that is a separate treatment we quote only after we see the spotting. For the bundle itself, the price stays tied to the house, not to a price list.
| 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.
Most of our Bayou Cane customers book both gutter cleaning and window cleaning twice a year, and that calendar is why one crew on one visit makes sense for them. Across Louisiana, the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December, and the timing is the same for residential and commercial buildings: clean the glass and gutters after the heavy pollen drop, and again after the leaves fall.
In spring the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing we see, and the gutters hold pollen paste that washes into the downspout elbows. In fall the leaf load builds fastest in the gutters and the runoff marks show on the sills below them. Frames and sills get cleaning solutions where they need it, and the glass gets purified water, so clean windows dry without streaks. Storm and wind season moves those dates in some years, so we look at the actual buildup rather than the calendar.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road tend to need a third visit. Sprinkler spots come back a day later, and that is the sign the water is hitting the glass. Under heavy tree cover the needles pack the downspouts between visits. Our regular cleanings on these properties keep the gutters flowing and the glass clear, and interior and exterior glass are separate visits for us, so this one covers the exterior only.
The sign windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout. If you see either one, the house is due.
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 cleaners have cleaned residential properties across Bayou Cane, and the cleaning services we provide cover the whole city, from the older streets with mature trees to the newer lots with open sky. Professional window cleaning that also covers the gutters is not that common, which is why we keep the bundle as one visit with one crew.
To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories. We give you the estimate from those, and lead time is listed on the booking page for your date. The busy windows are the spring and fall months, when our calendar fills, so booking early in those months gets you the slot you want. Clear gutters and clean glass also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Nobody needs to be home for the exterior work, and the windows inside stay as they are. We call before we come, and we send photos of the finished runs and glass before the crew leaves. On the job, the crew checks for clogged gutters and anything showing water damage at the fascia, and reports what it finds rather than selling a repair.
Yes. On our jobs the same two people clean the gutters first and then the exterior glass, so you book one visit instead of two.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Text a photo of the front of the house and the story count, or call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and we give you the figure before we book.
On Bayou Cane homes the outside takes the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass looks hazy from outside long before the inside needs attention. Exterior cleaning keeps clean windows looking clear, and it is the first thing most residential properties here need.
Most of our customers here book in spring and fall. Those are the months the pollen and leaf buildup on the roofline and glass is heaviest, so an early booking keeps your slot.
Not on our jobs. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof has already drained before anyone touches the windows.
Screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the exterior job, and we reach every window we can safely access. Tracks are included on the outside as well, and we will tell you if anything needs more time.
We do exterior glass only, so each residential window gets cleaned from the outside. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
