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 that falls off the roof ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, and that is the pattern we plan our calendar around.
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 price comes down to stories and approximate window count, and we give you the number on the phone or by text from those two things. The number we quote is the number on the invoice, and doing gutters and exterior windows in one visit is cheaper than booking them as two jobs. What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Multi-story buildings take longer to set up, and the crew tells you before the visit if that applies to your house. Gutters and downspouts are cleared on every visit, and screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Window washing on our crew means water-fed poles and purified water, which dries without streaks and leaves no towel lint. The same rule applies to every residential window on the outside of the house, from the first floor up to the upper stories we reach with the pole. Purified water removes dirt and pollen from the glass, but a sprinkler spot needs a mineral treatment instead. Most homeowners ask about the interior glass at this point, and the answer is that we only do exterior glass on this visit, so the washing services we price here stop at the outside of the house. Pricing for the interior and exterior is separate, and our window cleaning services on this visit cover the exterior only.
To get the exact number, tell us the stories, count the windows roughly, and text a photo of the front of the house. That is usually enough for a firm figure. Crews that bill per linear foot work the same way on a long run of gutter, but our number includes the whole house, so you are not adding up the sides yourself. We will quote the regular cleanings schedule alongside the first price so you can see both numbers before you book.
| 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.
Across North Carolina, most of our customers book both gutters and exterior windows twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense on the calendar. In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the pollen paste settles in the downspout elbows, and by April the first thing we see on the panes is a yellow haze and a layer of grime that looks like dust until you wipe it. In the fall the leaf load is the problem, and a wet mat of leaves sitting in the gutter for weeks is where water damage starts on the fascia. Spring visits usually fall in late April to May across North Carolina, and fall visits usually land in November to early December.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually needs a third visit, because those are the houses where debris and spotting come back between cleanings. Sprinkler spots are the ones that return a day after cleaning, and cleaning solutions do not lift them, so they need a mineral treatment rather than another pass with water. Clogged gutters on a shaded lot can fill again within a few months, and the runoff then spills over the edge, so a third visit is often the difference between a run that drains and one that overflows in the next storm.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze only in low sun, and gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running through the downspout. If the glass still looks hazy after a rinse, the crew checks whether we need to remove dirt or treat a mineral spot. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates a few weeks in either direction, and we adjust the booking to match.
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 cleans gutters and windows on residential properties across the Huntersville area and works from the same estimate process for every house. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we call before we come. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 and we will set the day. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The busy windows are the spring and fall stretches when pollen and leaves are heaviest, and that is when our calendar fills, so booking early in those months gives you more choice of day. Our professional window cleaning crews work as a single two-person team, which is why the same people who clean the gutters also clean every window on the outside of the house. Our window cleaners and cleaning services are one booking, so you make one call for both. Gutters go first and glass goes last, so the order of work protects the clean glass, and a clean roofline and clean panes do more for curb appeal than either one alone. If you want a regular schedule, tell us when you call and we will set the cycle on the calendar. Each visit ends with photos of every run and every window, so you can see the condition before the truck leaves.
Yes. Our two-person crew does the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the same people are on the ladder for both.
The number comes from stories and window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range here because the exact figure depends on the house.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that build up on the exterior. Plenty of owners leave the windows inside as they are, and the outside still changes how the house looks in sun.
Our customers here usually book in spring and in fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. The pollen pattern is the same for residential and commercial glass across North Carolina, and the calendar fills in those windows.
No, that is why we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the gutters and downspouts are flushed.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped, and tracks are included with the exterior window service, so there is no separate line item for them.
We clean exterior glass only on this visit. Interior and exterior glass are priced separately, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
They can. A building's gutters and exterior glass often belong to the association, so tell us before booking who owns them and we will quote only what you can book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
