Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across North Carolina, most of our Indian Trail customers book this in the spring and again in the fall, and we keep the same order of work every time. Call (866) 435-6328 for a quote from your story count.
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 quote the price from your number of stories and an approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than two separate jobs. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On the day, the crew finds the things that change the quote: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count with oversized panes, 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 will remove. Hard-water spots need a separate mineral treatment, which we quote after we see them.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with your story count and a rough window count. We will tell you what the job looks like before anyone climbs a ladder. Our crew is careful with the cleaning solutions we use on glass and siding, and we rinse the picture windows and sliding doors on the same pass so nothing dries with a film on it. The solutions are mild enough to remove dirt from the frames without leaving a residue. Residential and commercial jobs are priced the same way, from the building and the glass, and the regular cleanings we book on a schedule come with a lower rate per visit. The interior and exterior of a window are cleaned separately, and only the exterior is part of this visit.
| 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 Indian Trail customers book both services twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Our cleaning services for Indian Trail homes run on that twice-a-year schedule. Across North Carolina, the spring visit runs late April to May, and our fall visit runs November to early December. On the glass in April we see a pollen film on south-facing windows and pollen paste packed into the gutter elbows. In November the leaf load is what fills the runs, and water that backs up behind it ends up on the wall under the gutter.
Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house close to a busy road are the cases that usually need a third visit. Many window cleaners skip the gutters entirely, which is why we do both on one visit. Multi-story buildings and any house with a third story take a longer visit, closer to a full day than a morning. The spots that come back a day after a cleaning are almost always sprinkler mineral, not dirt. We also see the storm season across North Carolina move the timing, so we call you before we book the date.
Here is how to tell a window needs it: a haze you only see when the sun is low. Here is how to tell gutters need it: water sheeting over the edge in rain. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most people expect. Windows inside the house get their own schedule, because this visit covers the outside only. Professional window cleaning on a regular schedule keeps the grime from building up on the frames, and clogged gutters are what cause most water damage on the wall below them. Our crew books the next visit for you when we finish, so the schedule stays with 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.
Our washing services cover exterior windows and gutters on homes across Indian Trail, from smaller houses to two- and three-story residential properties. A residential window gets the same pole-and-water treatment whether it sits on the ground floor or the top sill. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate at (866) 435-6328, using your story count and a photo of the house front, and then we set a date. The window and gutter cleaning is done in one visit by the same two people, so the crew who quotes you is the crew who works on the house. Most of our slots come up within the typical lead time shown on the booking page, and the calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of spring and fall.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew does not come inside. We schedule service around the weather and tell you ahead of time if a date has to move. Our crew works to get clean windows on every floor, including the top sill and the upper picture windows, and we check every window before we leave.
Yes. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are done by the same two people on the same visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from your stories and the size of the house. Text us a photo and your story count and we will give you the number by phone or text.
On our Indian Trail jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so exterior cleaning is the part that changes what you see through the glass. Cleaning the inside alone will not remove dirt that sits on the outside of the glass.
Most of our customers here book in spring and again in fall, and the schedule opens up when the pollen and leaf months are past.
No, that is why gutters come first. When gutters and downspouts are cleared above a window, the leaves, grit and runoff come down the wall, so the glass is done last.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the job; none of it is billed as an add-on.
No. Our washing services for this visit cover exterior glass only, and we do not do interior glass or pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. Condos follow the same steps, though the building may need to approve ladder access first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
