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 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 in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest on the house.
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.

What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof too steep to walk safely, window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters that have not been opened in years or 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. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this quote covers the exterior only.
Across our Kannapolis jobs, the window washing side of a quote is usually the part people underestimate. A residential window layout with many picture windows takes more time on the pole than a house with a few large panes, and grime that has built up through a season takes a second pass. Our crew counts those windows before we give a number, so the washing services line on your estimate matches what gets done. If you have questions about regular cleanings for multi-story buildings with many panes, ask for a written estimate and we will break it down by floor.
| 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 Kannapolis jobs most customers book both gutter and window cleaning twice a year, and the pattern is what we see on the glass and in the gutters each season. In the spring, pollen film builds on south-facing glass and a sticky mix of tree sap collects in the downspout elbows, which is why the spring visit is when most customers book. In the fall, the leaf load is heavy and wet, and on houses that skipped the fall visit we see gutter runs sagging by winter, and a sagging run holds water that can cause water damage at the fascia. Storm and wind seasons can move both visits a few weeks either way.
Some houses need a third visit beyond the regular cleanings twice a year. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between cleanings. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust that settles on the sills, and the crew has to remove dirt there before it gets to the glass. We tell you which of these your house has after the first visit, so the schedule fits the lot and not a generic calendar.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running into the downspout, and that runoff ends up on the siding. Clean glass also does more for curb appeal than most people expect.
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 have cleaned residential properties across the Kannapolis area and we work the whole city. Booking is simple: call or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate before we schedule service. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so booking early in those months keeps your preferred date. If the building is part residential and commercial, say so when you call, because the quote starts from the stories and the window count. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Our crew handles every window on the outside of the house, and we treat the sill and frame the same as the glass. The glass is rinsed with purified water rather than cleaning solutions, so nothing is left behind to streak. If you have a question about the scope of a visit or the number of visits, ask us by phone and we will answer before anything is scheduled. We offer professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning in the same visit, clearing gutters and downspouts before the glass, so you can book window cleaning services once instead of coordinating two companies.
Yes, our crew does both in one visit, and it is the same two people. Gutters go first, and the glass goes last so nothing from the gutters washes onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. If the home is one of the condos, tell us which floor you are on when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number before we book.
On our Kannapolis jobs the outside carries most of what dirties a window here: tree film in the spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Cleaning the outside keeps the glass from clouding and helps remove dirt before it bakes on, even when the inside is clean.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, which are the two times the tree film and leaves are heaviest. Book in those windows and you keep the date you want.
Not if the gutters are done first. When the gutters come down clean and the downspouts are flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill those as extras. Tracks are included on the visit when they are reachable from the outside.
We clean the exterior of the glass only on this visit, and we do not clean the windows inside. We do not do pressure washing, so that is not part of this booking.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off 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.
