The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book the work in spring and fall, which is when the grime and leaf loads build up on the glass and in the gutters.
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.
The quote comes from the number of stories and the approximate window count. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and the crew gives you the number before any work is booked. The bundle, gutters and exterior windows in one visit, costs less than the two jobs booked apart, and the number we quote is the number we charge.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: multi-story buildings with a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window counts with oversized panes, clogged gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to 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, not billed as extras. Window washing on the exterior is the core of the visit. Our washing services use purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so the glass dries clean. This quote covers the exterior only, so ask for it in writing and it will say interior and exterior work is not part of this visit.
Across North Carolina, the houses we see with the most grime on the glass are the ones with the most trees and the most road dust, and the cleanings that hold the longest are the regular cleanings booked before the buildup sets. Picture windows take longer than standard panes, so we count them separately on the estimate. To get the exact number, text the crew a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories and the approximate count of windows, and ask for a written estimate before you book 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 both twice a year, once in the spring after the pollen season peaks and once in the fall after the leaves drop. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the gutters and the glass. In the spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and packs into the gutter elbows as a paste. In the fall, clogged gutters from the wet leaf mat are what sags the runs by winter.
Houses under heavy tree cover get on a three or four month schedule, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. Havelock gets about 59.8 inches of rain a year, and July, August and September are the wettest months, so clogged gutters going into summer are the first thing to look at. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate visit. Freezing nights mean a gutter still holding wet debris in winter can ice up and push water toward the fascia, which is how water damage starts. A house close to a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster than the rest of the block. The sign the windows need it is haze you only see when the sun is low. The sign the gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in 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 the Havelock area and send a crew to the residential properties that have the most glass and the longest gutter runs. Booking starts with a call or text to (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our crew calls before it comes, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work. In the two busy windows of the year, when the pollen and leaf loads peak, the calendar fills first, so the sooner you schedule service, the sooner the crew gets to your house.
Our window cleaners work outside only, from a water-fed pole or a ladder, and the professional window cleaning includes every window on the exterior, including the sill and the frame of each residential window. The window cleaning services cover the whole house in one visit, gutters and downspouts included, which is what keeps the curb appeal consistent from the street.
Yes. The same two people clear the gutters and downspouts and then do the exterior glass in one visit, gutters first, glass last, so the runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from stories and window count, which we quote by phone or text. Condos are priced the same way, and the same method works for residential and commercial buildings. We will not give a figure here because the exact price depends on the house, and the number we give you is the number on the invoice.
Usually yes on our Havelock jobs, because the outside carries the grime, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Windows inside the house are a separate job, and this visit does not include them.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, which is when the grime and leaf loads are heaviest on the glass and in the gutters. Across North Carolina, spring visits run late April to May, and fall visits in Havelock run late November to December. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar.
No, because the crew does the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass gets washed only after the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and frames are cleaned as part of the exterior visit. Tracks packed with grit are cleaned too, and the pole and purified water remove dirt from them with no separate add-on charge.
No. This visit is exterior glass only, and we do not clean inside the windows or pressure wash siding on it. Those are separate jobs we do not offer on the same visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while the ladders are up and leave the side gate unlocked.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
