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 nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips.
Across Louisiana, most of our customers book the work for spring and fall, and we have seen the same pattern on our Raceland jobs. Tell us your stories and roughly how many windows you have, and we will give you the number on the phone.
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 and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the gutters and the glass separately. Some window cleaners quote the two as separate trips, and that is where the extra charge comes from. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. We do not quote a figure without knowing the stories and the window count, and we do not add a second charge once the crew is on the ladder.
On our jobs the things that move the quote are the same ones you would expect. A third story or a roof too steep to walk means more time on a boom or scissor lift. A large number of oversized picture windows takes longer than the same number of standard panes. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years come down heavier, and packed needles and leaves in the downspout elbows take more time to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it. Gutters and downspouts are cleared as part of the job, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are included too, not billed as extras. Glass and frames are cleaned with cleaning solutions that are part of the price, so there is no materials line on the invoice. We price the windows inside and the exterior glass as different jobs, and this quote covers the exterior only. Keeping up with regular cleanings keeps the debris light, so the visit after the first one usually runs shorter.
What we find on the day is what sets the number more than anything else. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and we will look at it before we give you a number. A photo of the front tells us the stories, the rough window count and whether the roofline is walkable, and that is usually enough for the phone estimate to hold. Once the crew is on site, the work stays inside the number we quoted, and you get photos of every run before the truck leaves. This page covers residential homes, and residential and commercial properties are quoted on their own sheet.

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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, and that is the rhythm we see on our Raceland jobs as well. Gutter work and professional window cleaning run on the same calendar, so one crew in one visit makes sense for most homes.
Across Louisiana, the spring visit lands in mid to late April, and that is when we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a pollen paste packed into the gutters. Our fall visit runs December to early January and picks up the leaf load that has built up since the last cleaning. Hurricane season is the storm season across Louisiana, and Louisiana takes more landfalls than nearly any state, so a storm that drops debris on the roof can call for a visit outside the normal rhythm.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters packed between cleanings, and June, July and August are the wettest months in Raceland, so that load is heavier at that time. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later, and those need a separate look. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than a quiet street. When a gutter overflows, the runoff runs down the wall and leaves streaks on the glass below. Taller homes and multi-story buildings need more lift time than a one-story house, so the third visit is often for those. Those are the cases where we suggest the third visit, based on what we find at the first one.
You will know windows need cleaning when the haze on the glass shows up only when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout, and left alone that overflow can lead to water damage on the fascia and the wall below. Clean glass and clear gutters also do a lot for curb appeal.
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 window and gutter cleaning covers residential properties across Raceland, and we clean windows on every house we visit. Every residential window the crew can reach from outside gets cleaned on that visit. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text. Give us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we can usually tell you what the visit involves before we schedule it.
Lead time depends on the season, so ask us for the first open date when you call. In the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, the calendar fills faster, and booking early makes it easier to get the week that suits you. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front. We call before we come, so you are not left guessing about when the crew arrives.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside, does not come inside, and sends photos of the finished run. Every window the crew can reach from outside gets the same care, and we tell you about any pane we cannot safely reach so you know before the visit ends.
Yes. Our washing services cover the gutters and the glass, and one crew does both in one visit, gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so the job runs in a single setup on each side of the house.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text. Quotes for condos follow the same rule, by stories and window count. We do not quote a figure without those details.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and those build up on the glass whether or not the inside is clean.
Across Louisiana most customers book spring and fall, and that is when our Raceland customers book as well.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters first, flush the downspouts, give the wall a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the runoff from the roof has no clean pane to hit.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleared as part of the exterior window work, and those are not billed as extras. That is how we remove dirt before it can wash back onto the glass.
Not on this visit. We do exterior glass only, so the windows inside stay out 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 the windows face it, keep pets inside while the 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.
