Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof never lands on panes we have already finished. We price the job by the number of stories, and having both done in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Natchitoches jobs most customers book it for spring and fall, when the leaves are heaviest. Enter the number of stories and a rough window count below, or call (866) 435-6328 to talk it through with the crew.
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 crew gives the price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle of gutter cleaning and washing services for the glass in one visit comes in below the cost of booking the two jobs separately. Our window cleaning services and window washing are priced from the stories and window count, not a flat rate. The number we quote on the phone or by text is the number we charge when the job is done. The price is the same whether we start on the gutters or the glass, because the order of work does not change the time on the ladder.
On the day, what moves the quote is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer per run. Oversized picture windows and large panes take more time per square foot than standard sash. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more passes before they run clear. Grime that has baked onto a sill or track takes longer than ordinary film, and that time is on the quote. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue that cleaning will not remove. This quote covers the exterior only; interior and exterior work are never bundled into one price. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
What separates one quote from another is the gutter condition and the number of large panes, not the footprint of the house. Booking regular cleanings twice a year keeps the stories and window count on file, which makes the phone quote quick. Getting an exact number is simple: tell us the stories and the window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. We will come back with the number.
| 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 Natchitoches customers book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the season. Across Louisiana the spring visit usually lands in mid to late April, after the bulk of the pollen has come down, and the fall visit runs December to early January, once the leaves are down. In spring a dusty film sits on south-facing glass and needles and seed pods pack the gutters. In the fall the wet leaf mat is the problem, and the storm and wind season across Louisiana can shift both dates.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded between cleanings, and clogged gutters are the first place water damage starts when the runs back up at the eaves. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grit on the glass, and tree cover and traffic affect residential and commercial buildings alike. We see the same pattern across Louisiana: the more the house is under the trees or near the traffic, the sooner the next visit is due. Multi-story buildings take longer on the upper runs, so the visit can run past a morning.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze that only shows when the sun is low. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during a rain instead of running down the downspout. Our cleaning solutions are purified water, so there is no soap film left behind on the glass. Windows inside are not part of this 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 is one of the window cleaners working in Natchitoches, and we have cleaned gutters and exterior windows across the city. The usual first step is the estimate by phone or text: the number of stories and a photo of the house front is enough to give you the price. Our cleaning services cover gutters and exterior glass in one visit, and we clean every window that can be reached safely, photographing any the crew cannot reach. Clean gutters and glass are one of the quickest ways to improve curb appeal. Lead time depends on the season, and in the two busy windows of the year our calendar fills, so the sooner you call, the sooner you get a date. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our professional window cleaning crew works outside, and we put the glass on the same schedule as the gutters so you deal with one company and one visit.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so the runoff from the roof never reaches the panes we have already done.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate size of the house. Give us those by phone or text and we will quote the job before we book it.
On residential properties the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning only the inside leaves the residential window glass looking hazy from the street.
Our customers here book in spring and in the fall. Across Louisiana the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit runs December to early January.
No. We clear the gutters and downspouts, flush the runs and let the wall drip before anyone touches the glass, so nothing from the roof runs down onto finished panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the exterior job, and the frames get the same care, so we remove dirt there before the glass is done. Tracks are included in the visit, and none of them is billed as a separate extra.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing, and we say so up front.
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 unlock the side gate. If the unit is one of the condos with shared gutters, check with the association before the visit.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
