Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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 jobs are booked in spring and fall, when the pollen and leaves have built up and the glass needs it most.
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 the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice, and that number comes from those inputs, not a guess made on the ladder.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a roof steep enough that we work from a boom or scissor lift, a window count that runs high or oversized picture windows, clogged gutters that have not been cleaned 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 solutions remove. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
To get the exact figure, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house along with the number of stories and a rough window count. A single window cleaner can work through a standard job, but on our crews the gutters and the glass go in one visit so you pay for one trip. Regular cleanings keep the bill down over time because the buildup stays lighter and the work goes faster, and they keep clogged gutters from causing water damage at the fascia. Ask for a written estimate before we book the date. Customers often ask about interior and exterior glass together, but this quote covers the exterior only.
| 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 gutter and window cleaning twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why professional window cleaning and gutter work fit one crew in one visit. The spring visit falls late April to May across North Carolina, and our fall visit in Kinston runs November to early December.
At the spring visit we find pollen film on the south-facing glass and clogged gutters, the seed and grit packed in wet. In fall it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the downspout elbows. Across North Carolina, hurricanes and tropical storms on the coast can move those dates, so we confirm the timing on the phone before we book.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a film faster. We tell you which of those your lot needs after the first visit.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too: water sheeting over the edge in a rain instead of running down 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.
We book window and gutter cleaning for residential properties across Kinston, and residential and commercial clients get the same quote method, stories and window count. Booking starts with an estimate by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text: send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number you can plan around.
Lead time depends on the calendar, and the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, fill fastest. If you want a specific date in those months, call early. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work, so the crew can keep to the schedule you agreed.
We can schedule service for a single residential window or the whole exterior, and the sill and frame get wiped on every window we touch, so the clean windows look right from the street. The fastest way to hold a slot is to book the date while the estimate is still fresh.
Yes. The same two-person crew cleans the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. That order keeps the gutter runoff off clean glass.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. The same method applies to condos and multi-story buildings, so text us the stories and a photo of the front.
Usually, yes: the outside is where the grime builds up here, from rain dust, sprinkler spots and the leaf film in fall. Inside cleaning does not remove dirt that lands on the outer pane, and outside glass also does the most for curb appeal.
Across North Carolina, spring visits run late April to May, and in Kinston our fall visit runs November to early December. Those are the windows when leaves and dust build up the most.
Not if the order is right. Gutters are cleared and flushed first, the wall is given a few minutes to drain, and only then does anyone touch the glass.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the exterior washing services, not billed as extras.
No. We clean the exterior glass only, so the windows inside the house stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing here.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside while 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.
