Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of every residential window in one visit, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs on separate days. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book it in spring and fall, and we keep the same order on every house we work. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will give you a number before anything is scheduled.
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 our washing services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than booking the two on separate days. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, so you can plan around it before the crew is on the ladder.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are the same ones every time. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes longer per run. Multi-story buildings are quoted by stories before the visit, not on the ladder. Window count matters, and so do oversized picture windows, which need more time on the pole. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles, leaves and grime, take extra passes before the downspouts run clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated to reach the run beneath them. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is the one that surprises people: the spots come from minerals in the glass, and no amount of ordinary cleaning removes them, so we say so on the visit.
Cleaning the gutters and downspouts is part of the same visit, and downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job too, not billed as extras. Our crew does not offer interior glass on this visit, so the number covers the outside of each window only; any job that needs the interior and exterior is quoted separately. Hard-water removal is quoted separately after the crew sees the glass. If you book regular cleanings, we quote each visit from the same stories and window count, so the next number is not a guess.
Stories and window count set the starting number on any house. The back-side gutter run and the sprinkler spotting are what usually move the final quote, and we put each one in writing before the truck leaves.
If you want the exact number, send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house. We can give you a written estimate from that the same day you ask for it, with no visit needed first.
| 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 Kings Mountain customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar.
In spring we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and pollen paste packed into the gutters. Across North Carolina the spring visit falls in late April to May, and cleaning solutions alone do not lift the paste off the glass; the crew rinses it with purified water. In fall, from November to early December, the leaf load builds up and the wet mat settles into the gutters, and we find clogged gutters at the same downspouts that were clear in spring. Storms and wind seasons move these dates, so we schedule from what we see on the house rather than strictly from the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof puts needles and grit into the gutters between cleanings, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. Kings Mountain gets about 44.4 inches of rain a year, with March, June and August the wettest months, and gutters that overflow in those rains can send water down the wall, which is how water damage starts. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up dust faster than the usual house, so those we see on a shorter cycle.
The sign windows need it is haze you only notice when the sun is low in the afternoon. The sign gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running into the downspout.
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 cleaning services cover gutters and windows across Kings Mountain, and we work the city as a whole rather than one neighborhood, on residential and commercial buildings alike. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the number before any work is scheduled. Lead time varies with the season and the calendar, and we will tell you the first open slot when you call (866) 435-6328.
The two busy windows are the spring and fall stretches described above, when our calendar fills fastest and professional window cleaning requests come in together. Booking early in those windows keeps a slot. Outside them, a date often opens sooner. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew stays outside, and we send photos of each gutter run and the finished glass before the crew leaves. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and every window on the house is on the same visit when you schedule service through the phone or the text line.
Yes. The same two people do the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean glass.
The number comes from the stories and the window count on residential properties like yours. Text or call (866) 435-6328 with the story count and a photo of the front, and we send a written estimate from that.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the residue here: pollen film in spring, rain dust, and sprinkler spotting on the lower glass. Our crew uses purified water to remove dirt from each pane without leaving streaks, and the inside is not part of this visit.
Most of our customers here book in spring and in fall. We take bookings year-round, and the calendar fills fastest in those two windows.
No. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, so the runoff from them is gone before we touch the glass. We let the wall stop dripping, and then start on the glass, because doing it the other way round means cleaning the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit, not billed separately.
Exterior only on this visit. Every residential window we can reach from the outside gets cleaned, windows inside the house are not part of the visit, and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home, and that goes for condos too. 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.
