Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. Most of our Fuquay-Varina customers book this in spring and fall, and doing both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Priced by the number of stories, not by guesswork.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our window cleaning services are priced for the whole visit, not per pane, and our washing services follow the same rule. Homes on regular cleanings are quoted from the last visit's notes, so a repeat booking goes faster.
On our jobs, 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. Heavy window washing work on oversized panes or picture windows takes longer than a standard row, and grime that has baked onto the glass for a season takes longer than a light film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, cost more to clear than a light run. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with a cleaning, and we say so before we start.
On the Fuquay-Varina houses we clean, the quote usually comes down to a handful of details we can get over the phone: how many stories, roughly how many windows, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. One recent job on a two-story home with a lot of glass on the front and back ran a little higher than the average because of the picture windows and two gutter runs that had not been opened in several seasons. That is the kind of detail that moves the number, and we tell you about it before the crew comes out. If you want interior and exterior glass together, the interior is quoted on its own, since this visit is the outside only. For the exact figure, send the stories, the window count and that photo.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |
| Two stories | from $195 | from $210 | from $325 |
| Three stories | from $255 | from $285 | from $430 |
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 Fuquay-Varina customers book both twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Pollen is the first thing we see in spring: a yellow film on south-facing glass and a paste of tree dust in the gutters that the leaves hide until you open them. In the fall the leaf load is the main job, and clogged gutters on houses that skip that visit have sagged under the weight by the next winter. The spring and fall schedule holds for residential and commercial glass alike, since the same tree dust and leaf load hit both.
Storm and wind seasons shift the dates a little, and the weather in Fuquay-Varina decides how quickly the glass gets dirty again. Some houses need a third visit, and that is how we remove dirt the rain keeps refilling. We see it most under heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits and water damage at the eaves usually starts; where a sprinkler line hits the glass, which leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning; and on houses close to a busy road or a construction site, where dust settles on the frames faster than anywhere else. Multi-story buildings have more upper glass to clear, so their calendar fills sooner. Cleaning solutions do not change the hard-water spots; they only clean the film around them. Our visit does not include the windows inside, so interior haze is a separate job.
On one recent job, a customer on a lot with no trees books once a year and is happy with it. A neighbor a few doors down has sprinklers aimed at the front windows and a yard that stays wet, and books the window and gutter visit three or four times a year. Same street, two different schedules, both right for their own houses. The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain.
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 work across Fuquay-Varina and clean houses in most of the residential streets here, and our crew is in town often enough that a slot usually comes up without a long wait. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you a number on the spot. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open date when you call.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season. Those are the weeks our calendar fills fastest, so if you know you want the spring visit, call early rather than waiting for the yellow film to show up on your car. Clean glass and gutters do most of the curb appeal work on a house, and they are the first thing a neighbor sees. Our crew calls before it comes, so you know the arrival window. You can keep your day as planned, because the crew works the outside only.
We are a small set of crews, not a call center with a stack of subcontractors. Our window cleaners work with the same ladders and the same purified water every visit, and the same two people handle the gutters and the glass. Our cleaning services stay with one crew from the first ladder to the last pane. If you need professional window cleaning, our window cleaning services can run in the same visit as your gutters, and we can schedule service that covers every window on the house, including the sill and frame, so nothing is left dusty on the second floor.
Yes, and it is the same two people. We clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes back down onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, not from a rate card. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the number before we book.
For most residential windows here, yes. Rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the outside first, and they are the reason the glass looks hazy even after you clean the inside.
Most of our residential properties here book in spring and in fall, after the spring dust settles and after the leaves come down. Those are the busiest weeks on our calendar, so ask for a date early.
Not on our jobs. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then start on the glass, so the runoff has nowhere to land on panes we have already done.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and the frames are done as part of the visit. They are not billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean inside the glass or do pressure washing on this visit, so the job is the outside of the windows and the gutters.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Condos need a quick access check, so mention it when you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
