Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so nothing dirty runs back onto clean windows. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Davidson jobs, most customers book the spring and fall visits, when leaves and grime 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 by stories and approximate window count, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Our window washing and gutter work is one bundle, so the saving on both jobs together is shown on your estimate. Our washing services cover every window on the house, not only the front.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and large panes take more care. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles, leaves and grime, need more work to clear. A clogged run that sends runoff over the edge takes longer to open. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something no cleaning removes, so we flag it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras, because that is how we remove dirt from the whole house.
On one Davidson job, the quote rose because the house had three stories, a large number of windows on the back wall and gutters that had gone unopened for years. Our crew photographed each run before and after and sent the photos to the customer before leaving. We quote residential properties and condos the same way, by stories and window count. Send us a photo of the front of your house by text and we can give you the exact number to scope the work.

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 Davidson customers book both twice a year, once in the spring rush and once in late fall, November to early December, after the leaves come down. Across North Carolina, the spring visit runs late April to May. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the house. On our jobs, the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packs into the gutters through spring, and the leaf load in the fall is the heaviest part of the year for downspouts.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits, and the runoff carries it down the wall. 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 dust on the frames. We see these on our jobs and plan the visits around them.
You will see when windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will see when gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Both are reasons to call us, not to wait for the next scheduled visit. To schedule service, call us when you see either sign. Interior glass is a separate job, so the windows inside are quoted apart from the outside. The window and gutter schedule works around your cleanings, and we can set regular cleanings to match the season.
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, one of the window cleaners working around Davidson, handles residential and commercial jobs, and we book one estimate at a time. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we give you a quote with the window and gutter work in one number. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come.
Our busiest windows are the spring and fall months, when leaves and dust are heaviest and our calendar fills. Book early in those months. Our window cleaning services are built around the house, so the slot we give you is for the same work the photo shows us.
Professional window cleaning matters on a house with curb appeal to protect, especially on multi-story buildings where the glass is hard to reach. Clogged gutters, left alone, lead to water damage at the fascia and foundation, which is why we clear them on the same visit.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters first and the outside of the windows second, in one visit.
Each residential window job is quoted from the number of stories and the window count. Text a photo of the front of the house, or call (866) 435-6328, and we send a written estimate.
On our Davidson jobs, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside does not see, so the outside glass is the part that needs the work.
Most of our customers book in the spring and fall, after the spring rush and after the leaves come down.
No. We do gutters first and glass last, so the leaves, grit and black water come off before any window is washed.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and our crew brings its own cleaning solutions. Tracks are included on the exterior side.
We clean the exterior of the windows only on this visit. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing here.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. To schedule service, book a date with us and we confirm the window before we arrive.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
