Our crew cleans the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters first, glass last, so nothing from the gutters lands on clean glass. We price by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and two jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately. Most of our Lake Norman of Iredell customers book both in the spring and in the fall, which is when the pollen and the leaves come down hardest.
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 the approximate window count, and the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking gutter cleaning and window cleaning separately. Window washing and gutter work share one visit, so two separate washing services cost more than the bundle. The number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will work it out with you.
On the day, what moves the quote is what the crew finds. A third story or a roof too steep to walk adds time. So does a large number of oversized panes, gutters nobody has opened in years, or runs packed with needles and leaves. Grime that has built up for years adds time too. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are priced separately, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a stain no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Our quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is a separate conversation.
Our crew has learned to ask for the same things on every call: the stories, a rough window count, and a photo of the front of the house. A two-story home with a standard window count and clear gutters is a simple quote. A three-story house with picture windows and heavy cover needs a closer look, and we say so before we book. The clearer the picture you send, the closer the number on the phone matches the invoice. If you want regular cleanings, we quote each visit from the same stories and count, so the number stays predictable.
| 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 Lake Norman of Iredell customers book both twice a year, in the late spring and again in the fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On our jobs the spring visit catches the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste packed in the gutters. The fall visit clears the leaf load that comes down after the first hard wind. Cleaning solutions come in only where a stain needs one, so the rinse does most of the work. Storm and wind seasons can move either date, so we confirm the day with you before we come.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps clogged gutters filling between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after the cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects grit faster than the rest. When we see those, we tell you what we found and suggest the timing that fits, but we do not push a schedule you do not need.
You will usually know when windows need it: a haze you only notice when the sun is low. Gutters tell you too, with water sheeting over the edge in a heavy rain, and that spill can lead to water damage at the fascia. If you see either one, call (866) 435-6328 and we will book a date.
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 works across Lake Norman of Iredell and we will tell you on the phone whether we have a slot in your neighborhood this month. Our cleaning services cover the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit, and our window cleaning services run on the same day. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text, with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We confirm the window, and we call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work; the crew does not come inside.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring and the fall, so those are the weeks to book early. Outside of those windows, a slot usually opens faster. If you want to schedule service in a quieter month, ask for the first open date. If you have a dated event or a listing to prepare for, tell us at the start so we can plan the visit around it and avoid a rushed job.
We have worked on residential properties and small multi-story buildings, and we bring the same process to each house: check the gutters, flush every downspout, wipe the sills, and take photos of every window and run before we leave. The same process applies to residential and commercial exteriors, and we confirm the scope on the phone. Professional window cleaning means the same steps every time, down to the purified water. Ask for a written estimate on any job, and we will send one before the crew books the date.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the exterior windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both at once keeps the gutter runoff from landing on the glass.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house and we will tell you what we charge for the bundle.
On our jobs in this area, the outside of each residential window carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. Clean inside glass still gets dull once the outside is coated. Exterior cleaning keeps the view clear, helps curb appeal, and protects the frames.
Most of our customers here book in the late spring and again in the fall. Those are the busiest weeks, so booking early helps. Ask us and we will confirm the open dates. If you own a condo, ask about your building first, since the gutters and the glass are often shared.
Not when we do it our way. We clear the gutters and downspouts first, flush every downspout, let the wall stop dripping, and only then clean the glass. The order is the reason we do both in one visit, so no one has to remove dirt from the glass twice.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on request, and we will note any that need extra time before we start.
No. This visit covers exterior glass only. We do not clean windows inside the house and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. That is the whole list.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
