The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book this bundle in spring and fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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 stories and approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number on the invoice, and washing services for the glass, downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are all part of the job rather than extras.
On the day, the quote moves with what the crew finds: a third story or a steep roof that is slow to work, window count and oversized picture windows, gutters and downspouts 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 cleaning solutions alone will not remove. Each of those is visible from the photos we ask for before the visit, which is why we ask for them.
To get an exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with the stories and a rough window count. Our crew reads the roofline, the gutter runs and the glass from that photo and gives you a figure you can check against the invoice later. The same process covers residential and commercial buildings, where the lease decides who pays for the gutter work, so we ask that question first.
If the building has a lot of glass, tell us about the picture windows and any interior and exterior work you want done on other days, because we only do exterior glass on this visit. Repeat customers ask for regular cleanings, and once a schedule is set the crew can keep the same rhythm each season.

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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across North Carolina the pattern is the same, and the timing shifts a little with the storm and wind seasons that move the dates.
In spring the glass carries a pollen film on the south-facing panes, and the gutters hold a pollen paste that packs the downspout elbows. In fall the leaf load is the main job, and wet leaves in the gutters are what cause the sagging we see by winter. Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually need a third visit, because the spots and grit come back between cleanings.
Our crew is the same one that will be on the ladder, and we describe what we find in each gutter and on each pane rather than handing out general advice. Window cleaning services like ours tend to show their value in the details, which is why the photos go to you after every visit.
Window cleaners get asked the same question a lot: does the glass need cleaning more often than the gutters? Usually not, but a haze of grime you only see when the sun is low is the sign the glass needs attention, and water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain is the sign the gutters do. Professional window cleaning on a schedule keeps both from getting to that stage, and it keeps the curb appeal of the front of the house from slipping between visits.
Left alone, clogged gutters pour water down the siding and the foundation, and the resulting water damage is far more expensive than a cleaning. Multi-story buildings are the hardest to keep on top of, so the crew plans those visits around the roof access rather than around the calendar alone.
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 window and gutter jobs across Jacksonville, and the first step is simple: call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories. From there we give you an estimate, and the lead time depends on the season, so we tell you the date when we book it rather than guessing over the phone. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and the crew calls before it comes.
In the two busy windows of the year, late April to May across North Carolina and November to early December in Jacksonville, our calendar fills, so booking earlier is the easiest way to keep your preferred day. We cover residential properties of every size, condos included, and the same booking works for a single house or a residential window job on one street.
Each job gets a slot on the schedule, and we confirm the window before the truck leaves the yard. When a customer asks for a specific day, we will schedule service around that date if the crew has room, and we tell you right away if it does not.
For a window and gutter cleaning plan that covers every window and both sides of the house, text a photo of the roofline and we will send back a written estimate with the visit date already filled in, along with the steps we take to remove dirt from each pane.
Yes, the same two people do both on one visit, and that is the reason we bundle them. We do the roof, the gutters and the downspouts first, then the glass, so the runoff never lands on clean panes.
The number comes from stories and size, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and the rough window count, and we tell you the figure before we book.
Usually yes, because the outside takes the rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. The inside is a separate job, and we do not do it on this visit.
Our customers here book in spring and fall. Across North Carolina, spring visits run late April to May, and fall visits run November to early December. Booking a few weeks ahead keeps your day when the calendar fills.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts and flush every downspout before we touch a window. The wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does anyone start on the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior job. Nothing on the outside of the window is billed as a separate extra.
No, this visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not do interior glass or pressure washing on the same day, so ask us about those when you call (866) 435-6328.
You do not need to be home. Turn off sprinklers 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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
