Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across Louisiana, most of the homes we service book this pairing in the spring and fall, which is when tree debris and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, because the questions we ask before we quote are the same things the crew sees on the day.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized panes, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles, leaves and grime, gutter guards that must 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. Cleaning the sill and the frame is included in our window cleaning services, so you will not see a line for them.
To get an exact number, text the front of the house to (866) 435-6328 and tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows face the street and the yard. Our crew can usually give you a firm figure from that alone. Oversized picture windows and a long run of gutters on a multi-story house or in condos are the two details that change a quote most, so mention them up front. We do not fold a surprise into the invoice later, and if the walk-up to the back run needs a boom or scissor lift, we say so before the crew is booked. The gutters and downspouts get checked for runoff at the outlet, and any clogs that would send water back toward the foundation get cleared on the same visit. Window washing and washing services on a house this size take a set amount of time to remove dirt from every pane, so the quote holds for the day we arrive.
| 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 Slidell customers, residential and commercial alike, book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the house. Across Louisiana the pattern is the same: the window and gutter work lands after the pollen season and again after the leaves come down.
What we find in April is pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutters and downspout elbows. By fall the leaf load is the bigger problem, a wet mat in the gutters that holds water against the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, and after a hard blow we often come back early to clear runoff that is backing up toward the foundation.
Some houses need a third visit. 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 later, and a house close to a busy road or active construction gets a film of dust that cleanings alone do not fully stop. These are the cases where regular cleanings every few months make more sense than a twice-yearly schedule.
Windows tell you they need it when you see a haze that only shows up with the sun low in the sky. Gutters tell you by water sheeting over the edge during rain instead of running into the downspout. If either of those happens between visits, call us and we will tell you what we see. Cleaning solutions for the glass are chosen for the frame material and the water we have on site, and the interior and exterior of the house each get their own attention on the 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.
We are the cleaning services crew that books Slidell directly, and our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring rush and the fall leaf drop. Outside those windows a slot is usually easier to get, and the lead time we quote is the lead time we keep.
To schedule service, call us at (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and a rough count of windows. We will give you an estimate from that and set a date. Our window cleaners work from a water-fed pole for the upper stories and a ladder only where the pole cannot reach. The crew works on the outside only, so windows inside the home stay as they are, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. The crew calls before it comes, so you know the day it is coming.
Professional window cleaning on a Slidell house is mostly a matter of planning the route around the gutters, so the gutters go first and the glass last, with the runoff from the roof and the clogged gutters dealt with before the water reaches the windows below. That order is also what keeps water damage from showing up in the trim after a cleaning, and clean gutters and glass protect curb appeal on the street side. Multi-story buildings and tall homes need the boom or scissor lift on the crew schedule, and we say so when you book.
Yes. Our crew does both in the same visit, the same two people handling each residential window and the gutters, gutters first and glass last.
We quote residential properties by the number of stories and the size of the house, counted by every window on the outside, and we give the figure over the phone or by text. Text a photo of the front and we will tell you the figure.
Yes. Clean windows on the outside matter most, because rain dust, sprinkler spots and grime build up there while the inside stays cleaner.
Most of our Slidell customers book in spring and in fall, and we can set a date in either season.
No. We clear the gutters first and wash the glass last, so nothing from the roof runs down onto the clean windows.
Screens are rinsed, and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit and are not billed separately.
On this visit we clean the exterior of the windows only, and we do not do pressure washing or interior glass.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
