Yes, 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 the approximate window count, and both jobs booked together cost less than two separate trips. Most of our Flat Rock customers book it in the spring and fall, and that is when we see the most pollen and leaf buildup on the glass and in the runs.
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 window washing services and window cleaning services are priced 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.
On our jobs the quote moves for a handful of reasons we can see from the ground. A third story or a steep roof that is not safe to walk changes how we set the boom or scissor lift. A high window count and oversized picture windows add time on the glass. The gutters and downspouts on a house that has not been opened in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are a separate line in the estimate. Cleaning will remove dirt and grime from the glass, but hard-water spotting from sprinklers is etched in, and we say so when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, and we flush the runs first so the runoff stays off the glass.
On a recent Flat Rock job the quote came down to the front of the house and the back run. The owner sent a photo of the roofline by text, we counted stories and windows from it, and the number we quoted matched the invoice. Condos with a shared gutter run are quoted the same way, by stories and window count for your unit. Our crew does the same for every house: text a photo of the front of the house and we will work out the number with you before anyone books a date.

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 the window and gutter work twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, because one crew in one visit covers both. In spring we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and the spring debris packed in the gutters. That film takes more than a rinse, so the cleaning solutions on the glass are matched to it. In fall we find the wet leaf mat that sits in the runs and the grit that builds on the sills.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters full between visits, so those houses need more cleanings in a year. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the outside glass, and those usually go on a shorter cycle. Our crew checks the lot on the first visit and tells you whether regular cleanings on a set schedule or a single seasonal visit fits the house.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Owners often ask whether the interior and exterior get done on the same visit, and on this visit only the outside is done.
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 cleaners work across Flat Rock and we book the visit by phone or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we come back with a quote and an open date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows, late spring and late fall, fill fastest because that is when spring blossoms and leaves land on the glass and in the runs. Book early in those months if you want a specific day, and call (866) 435-6328 to get on the list.
We work with professional window cleaning equipment on the glass and clean the outside of every window the same way, from the ground or from the boom or scissor lift on multi-story buildings. The same method works on residential and commercial buildings, so the quote is built the same way for both. Our cleaning services cover the exterior only on this visit, so windows inside stay as they are, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Clogged gutters that are left alone can cause water damage to the fascia and the wall below, which is one more reason to book the two jobs together. Clean glass and clear runs do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the dirty water from the runs does not end up on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and we will tell you the figure before anything is booked.
On our jobs, the outside carries the spring film, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and none of that shows through the inside of the glass. The outside is the side the street sees, so cleaning it is what makes clean windows show from the curb.
Our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, which is when the spring blossoms and the leaves land on the house. Book early in those months, and schedule service by calling (866) 435-6328 for a specific day.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and grit down the wall, so the glass has to be done after the runs are flushed.
Screens are rinsed, the sill is wiped and tracks are cleared as part of the exterior job on residential properties. They are not billed as separate line items.
We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit. The work is the exterior of every residential window and the gutters, and nothing else.
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 unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
