The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Louisiana, our crews book most of their spring and fall visits this way, so the routine is the same from one house to the next.
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.
Our direct answer is short: we price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, a bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The glass is done with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak.
On the day, the crew sees what drives the quote. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. A high count of windows, or oversized picture windows, adds passes. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate problem that cleaning alone will not remove, so we note it and quote it apart.
To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or send us the stories, a rough window count and a photo of the front of the house by text, and we will come back with the price on the phone. Our cleanings on residential and commercial jobs follow the same logic: what we see sets the time, and we say the figure before we start. This is the same approach whether the house is a small bungalow or a larger two-story home with several picture windows.
Two-story houses with a deep gutter run over a patio and a mix of standard and picture windows follow the same routine. The quote goes up when the back run or the window count goes up, and the crew notes any sprinkler spotting on the glass before work begins.
| 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 professional window cleaning and gutter work twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, so one crew can handle the gutters and the glass in a single visit. In Bossier City that rhythm holds, and the dates come from what we see on the job.
Across Louisiana, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, when the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the gutters and downspout elbows. In the fall visit, late November to December, the leaf load is what we clear first, and the wet mat is heavier on runs that skipped the earlier visit. Hurricane season is the bigger swing: across Louisiana it brings more landfalls than nearly any state, so we adjust both dates when storms come through.
Regular cleanings twice a year cover most houses, but some need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits. Bossier City gets about 53.7 inches of rain a year, with March, April and December the wettest months, and clogged gutters that back up in that rain are the usual route to water damage at the fascia. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass.
A sign that the windows need attention is haze you only notice when the sun is low. A sign that the gutters need attention is water sheeting over the edge in rain. Either one is worth a call before the next scheduled 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 crew cleans residential window and gutter cleaning jobs across the city. We take on residential properties, condos and some commercial buildings, including multi-story buildings where access is safe, but the calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year when leaves and grit come down. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We usually confirm the visit date within the lead time shown for the job, and we call before we come.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and every window we clean is done from outside. Each job covers every window we can reach safely, the gutters on every run, and a sill wipe on each one. Quotes never bundle interior and exterior glass, and this visit covers the exterior only. Schedule service by calling (866) 435-6328 or texting us, and we will tell you the window we can offer.
Yes, our washing services for gutters and glass are one visit by the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto the clean windows.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Send us the story count and a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote the bundle.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust, road grime and sprinkler spots that build up here, and clean glass keeps the curb appeal of the house up between visits. The crew can remove dirt from the outside glass on each visit. Inside glass is a separate task we do not take on, so the outside is what we clean on this visit.
Our customers here book in the spring and the fall, which matches the seasons when leaves and grit build up on the houses we clean. Across Louisiana, spring and fall is the common pattern, and we set the exact date when we see the house.
No, the gutters are done first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and grit down the wall, and runoff from a flushed downspout can splash the panes below, so the glass waits until the gutters are flushed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included when they are reachable from outside.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside are not part of the job, 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 if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
