Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two trips. Our crew works through the spring and fall cleaning seasons, when most of our customers book, so you can plan the visit around the weather rather than the other way round.
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 the window and gutter work by the number of stories and the approximate window count, the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. The glass gets purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so there is no soap film to chase. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will work out the quote from it.
On our jobs the things that move the quote on multi-story buildings are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Gutters and downspouts get cleared, screens rinsed and sills wiped as part of the job, and none of it is billed as an extra.
A recent Garner job shows how this works. One house had its gutters and exterior glass done together, and the quote moved mostly on the back run and the number of panes, both visible from the photos we asked for before booking; the customer got a single written number the morning of the visit, and the invoice matched it. Ask for the same by phone or text with the stories and a photo of the front.
Standard exterior service does not cover interior and exterior glass together, so if you want the inside done too, tell us when you call at (866) 435-6328 and we will quote it separately. If the building is anything other than a house, tell us whether it is residential and commercial, because the scope changes. Our regular cleanings follow the same pattern as the first visit, and the crew will note in writing what changed since the last one.
| 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.
On our Garner jobs most 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. Our cleaning services follow the seasons: spring clears the pollen film off south-facing glass and the pollen paste out of the gutters, and fall clears the wet leaf mat before winter. Most of the window cleaners in the area run the same rhythm, and a professional window cleaning visit is only as good as the timing, so we plan around the calendar rather than the first warm week.
Storm and wind seasons can move those dates. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house close to a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit, because those are the cases where clogged gutters and water damage show up between cleanings. Multi-story buildings tend to need the same extra look for the same reason, because the gutters sit higher and the runs are harder to see from the ground.
A sprinkler spot that comes back a day after cleaning is the one to watch for. A quick look at the glass after a rainstorm tells you whether it needs a visit, and the gutters tell you the same when water sheets over the edge in rain. Those are the signs we ask customers to text us about, since a spotted pane hurts the curb appeal of the whole front of the house.
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 clean gutters and exterior windows on residential properties across Garner, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, when the leaf loads peak. Book early in those months and you will get a date sooner. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a window of time before the crew is on the way.
The estimate starts with the number of stories and the approximate window count. We ask for a photo of the front of the house so we can see the roofline and the glass before we arrive, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
We schedule service around the weather, so a wet forecast moves the visit rather than leaving the glass streaked. Our crew comes out for window and gutter cleaning together, which keeps the visit to one set of ladders and one trip. Every residential window on the house gets the same attention from the ground up, and the crew works to remove dirt from each frame and pane. The sill and frame get wiped on every window we clean.
Yes. Our washing services cover both, and the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water does not land on clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Condos get quoted the same way, by stories and window count. Send a photo of the front and we will quote you a single figure before the visit.
In Garner the outside carries the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, so the glass gets dirty from the outside first. Cleaning the outside is the part that changes how the windows look from the street.
Our customers here book in the spring and the fall, the two cleaning seasons in this part of North Carolina. Those are the months when the leaf and debris loads are heaviest.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the leaves and grit come down the wall with the runoff, they land on the panes, so the glass has to come last.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit. Tracks are included when they can be reached from outside, and we tell you before the visit if anything needs extra time.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so the windows inside the house stay as they are. We do not do pressure washing either, so if you need that, we will refer you elsewhere.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
