The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing dirty runs down onto the clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across Louisiana, most of our customers book this bundle for the spring and fall cleanings, and the crew does the work from start to finish.
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 window washing by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both washing services in one visit costs less than two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew is done. This quote covers exterior glass only, and cleaning the windows inside is a separate job with its own price. Once the crew sees the house, what moves the quote is consistent: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized panes including picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years or are packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. That is enough for us to quote over the phone, and we will tell you which of those factors apply before anyone is booked. The steps are simple: a quote by phone or text, a date, a crew that arrives inside the window we give you, and an invoice that matches the quote.
On our Claiborne jobs, the cases that cost more are usually the ones nobody has cleaned in years, where the crew has to clear packed gutters before the glass is even reachable. Across Louisiana, the pattern is the same: the more the gutters and glass have been left alone, the more time the job takes and the more the quote reflects it. Packed gutters and sprinkler spotting can be seen in the photo, which is why the photo helps.

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, once in the spring and once in the fall, so one crew can do both in one visit. On our Claiborne jobs the pattern holds as well.
In the spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste in the gutters, which is when the window and gutter pair is most useful, because the pollen washes into the runs and comes down as runoff on the wall below. In the fall we find the leaf load and the wet leaf mat that sits in clogged gutters after the trees drop. Storms and strong winds can move these dates, so we schedule around what the house is actually carrying, and the first job on any visit is to remove dirt from the gutter runs before the glass is touched.
Most houses stay on the normal calendar with regular cleanings, but some need a third visit as we see them. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles, grit and seed packing the downspouts between visits, and full gutters left through a wet season can lead to water damage. 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 dust than a quiet street. For those houses we plan a third visit rather than waiting for the normal calendar.
Windows need another cleaning when you can see a film of haze only when the sun is low. Gutters need one when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. Our cleaning solutions are chosen for the glass and the gutter material, and the crew explains which one was used on the 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.
We clean across Claiborne, and on our Claiborne jobs we have worked in the neighborhoods that our customers ask about most. The crew takes on residential properties and every residential window job with the same process: photos of every run and every window before and after, and a call before we arrive. The order of work is the same for residential and commercial jobs: gutters first and glass last. Our window cleaning services for the window and gutter pair cover every window on the outside of the house that we can safely reach, and the crew will tell you about any window it cannot reach so nothing is a surprise on the invoice. Pricing for multi-story buildings follows the number of stories, the same as a house.
Booking works like this: call (866) 435-6328 or text us for an estimate, give us the number of stories, and send a photo of the house front. We then give you a date. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is at the time. The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills during those months, so booking early is the simplest way to get the date you want. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our window cleaners work the outside only, and we set up the job with the same care whether it is a small house or a large one. Professional window cleaning for a home with a lot of curb appeal is no different from any other house in this respect. If you want to schedule service, the easiest route is a call or a text with the stories and a photo.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and then the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff never lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the exact figure by phone.
On our jobs, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass even when the inside is clean. Houses, townhouses and condos alike collect this on every residential window, so cleaning the outside is what makes the difference you see through the glass.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves come down. Across Louisiana the pattern is the same.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the gutters is finished before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side. Nothing on that list is billed as an extra.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay as they are, and interior and exterior glass are separate jobs. We also do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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. Ask for a written estimate if you want one before the date is set.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
