Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across Louisiana, our crews book the spring and fall visits that keep both clean through the seasons that matter most.
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 by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing gutters and exterior windows in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On our jobs, a third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer on the ladder, and so does a window count that runs high or oversized panes like picture windows. Gutters nobody has opened in years, packed with needles and leaves, add time before the water even starts. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated get quoted in the estimate, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Getting an exact figure is simple, since each residential window on the house adds to the count. Text us a photo of the front of the house along with your story count and a rough window total, and we will give you the number before anyone is booked. For a clear view of the cost drivers, the things that make a Metairie house take longer are the same ones that set a professional window cleaning quote anywhere: height, glass area, and how much grime has built up, which is also what drives window washing prices from one street to the next. The curb appeal of a clean exterior is part of what you are paying for, and so is protection against water damage from clogged gutters that back up onto the fascia. Our crews also handle multi-story buildings with the same order of work, one visit at a time.
| 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 customers here book both twice a year, in the spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across Louisiana the timing follows the same pattern, with the spring visit in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to December.
What we find at each visit is consistent. On the glass in spring there is a pollen film on the south-facing panes, and we check every window on the house for it. The gutters carry pollen paste in the elbows, which rinsing alone does not lift, so the crew brings cleaning solutions for it. In the fall the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat is what sags a run that has been left too long. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, and the hurricane season takes a toll on both gutters and glass across the state.
Some houses need a third visit on top of the two regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or a construction site collects more dust on the sill and frame than a quiet street. We see the sign windows need attention when a haze shows only in low sun, and the sign gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in the rain. Our crew will tell you which pattern your house follows after the first 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 clears gutters and downspouts and cleans the outside of windows, including the washing services that keep glass clear between visits. To schedule service, start with a phone call or text: give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we return an estimate. Lead time depends on how full the calendar is that week, and we will tell you the first open date when we quote. Homeowners who search for window cleaners often find we also do the gutters, so one booking covers both.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring and fall visits, and the calendar fills faster then. If you want a slot in those weeks, book early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew does not go inside. Service runs across the greater Metairie area for window cleaning services, gutters and downspouts, and the outside of windows on both residential properties and commercial sites, and the residential and commercial jobs follow the same order of work.
On a busy day the crew still clears the grime and runoff from the roofline before it reaches the glass, and we remove dirt from the frames and sills as part of the job, so clean windows stay clean longer. Condos and multi-unit buildings get the same order of work, with the access arranged in advance so the crew does not lose time at the door.
Yes, and it is the same crew. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the water and debris from the gutters never reach a clean window.
We do not give a figure here. The number comes from your stories and the size of the house, and you can get it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
The outside takes the brunt of the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spotting here, so the outside is where the buildup starts, and the windows inside rarely need the same attention.
Our customers here book in the spring and again in the fall, and that is when we are busiest. Across Louisiana the visits fall in mid to late April and in November to December.
No, gutters first and glass last is the whole reason the order matters.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the visit.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing here, so if you want the interior and exterior of a window done, ask us about those separately.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Text us at (866) 435-6328 with any questions before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
