The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Lafayette jobs most customers book it for the spring and fall cleanings, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, so the schedule fills in those seasons. Tell us your stories and an approximate window count, call (866) 435-6328, and you will have a number before we hang up.
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 the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. Professional window cleaning is quoted the same way, so window washing and the gutter work come to one number. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds when it arrives: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, clogged gutters that take the most time to clear, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Windows inside the house are not in the quote, so the price covers the outside glass and the gutters only.
On one Lafayette job the quote came up because the house had three stories, a back run that dropped past a walk-out basement, and a row of picture windows along the front. The crew cleared the gutters first, flushed every downspout until it ran clear, and then cleaned the glass, which is why the job took a full morning. Nothing about the scope needed a surprise line item. The window count and the stories are what we ask for, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text helps us see the roofline before we quote. A run left clogged is how water damage starts at the fascia, and a clean front with the gutters running clear is what gives a house its curb appeal.
| 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, the spring round runs mid to late April, and our Lafayette fall round usually lands in December to early January. Most of our cleaning services in the city follow that calendar, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. What we find at each visit follows the calendar. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs the elbows of the downspouts. In fall the leaf load is heaviest, and the wet mat in the gutters is what sags a run before winter. Freeze risk is real here in winter, so the December to early January visit clears the gutters before wet leaves can freeze in place. Hurricane season across Louisiana is the storm period that moves dates, since the state takes more landfalls than nearly any other state, so we look at the house rather than the calendar alone.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or a construction site collects a film faster than most. Lafayette gets 62.8 inches of rain a year, with June, July and August the wettest months, so a residential window under a downspout takes the most runoff in those months. Our crew checks every window on the house at each visit, the same way on every residential property, so a problem spot gets flagged rather than missed. You will know gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain, and windows need it when you see a haze that only shows when the sun is low. To schedule service ahead of the busy months, call early and ask for the first open date, and the crew leaves clean windows you can check the same day.
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 works across Lafayette, and we will tell you on the phone whether your street is on the route for the week. To book, call (866) 435-6328 or text with your stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate the same day. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our washing services cover the gutters and downspouts as well as the glass, so one visit is enough for most houses. In the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills first, so the earlier you ask, the more choice you have on the date.
Our window cleaning services cover the outside glass, the frames and the screens, and the crew uses the water to remove dirt from each pane as it goes. The grime on exterior glass is what the crew is there to take off, and the route is planned so every window gets it. Our commercial clients are mostly multi-story buildings and condos, and the crew handles those on a per-building schedule. On a building with many floors, the runoff from the upper roof is the first thing we check, and the crew plans the route so no window is skipped.
Yes. The same two people do the roof, the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, on both residential and commercial jobs.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text.
On our jobs the outside carries most of what dulls the glass here: pollen in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting. Regular cleanings keep that film from building up between seasons, and interior and exterior work is a separate booking, so this visit covers the outside only.
Most of our Lafayette customers book in spring and in fall, and the calendar fills in those months first.
No. Gutters go first, so the debris and black water are cleared before the glass is touched.
Standard visits use purified water on a water-fed pole, so no cleaning solutions go on the glass. Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, so they are not billed separately.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of the booking, 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, 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.
