Yes, 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 doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. On our Laurinburg jobs, most of our customers book it for the spring and fall visits, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 window and gutter cleaning for residential and commercial jobs 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 on the phone is the number we charge. We quote from a photo of the front of the house and your answers on stories and windows, and we do not add anything on the day for the flushing, the screen rinsing or the sill wiping, because those are part of the job. Our cleaning solutions are mild, and none of them is billed as a separate line. Interior glass is outside this quote, so if you want interior and exterior glass both done, ask us and we will price them separately.
What moves the quote shows up on the ladder. A third story or a roof too steep to walk adds time and setup. Oversized picture windows and a lot of small panes both add glass. Clogged gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear before the flush. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated are timed separately. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a different job, because no cleaning removes it, and we will tell you so before we quote it. Customers on regular cleanings get the same quote on each visit, as long as the house has not changed.
One Laurinburg job shows how this plays out. A two-story house with a lot of glass on the back, and a sprinkler line that hits the front windows every morning, needed the outside glass done and the gutters cleared together. The crew cleaned the runs first, flushed every downspout, then did the glass, and flagged the spotting on the front pane so the owner knew what would come back. The quote on the phone matched the invoice. Read the case here.
To get your exact number, count the stories and call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house. We take it from there, and we will tell you whether the bundle or the single job makes more sense for your house.

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 Laurinburg customers book our cleaning services twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, after the last leaves come down. Across North Carolina the spring visit usually falls in late April to May, and our fall visit usually lands in November to early December. That is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Many window cleaners only do the glass, but professional window cleaning goes better when the gutters are done first.
In the spring visit we find the pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed into the gutter elbows and downspouts. In the fall it is a wet leaf mat in the runs and grit on the sills. Clogged gutters can crack when water freezes in them, and that is a real risk here. Across North Carolina, storm season brings hurricanes and tropical storms to the coast, and when a bad blow comes through we tell you what we found, so you can decide whether to move the visit up. Our city gets about 46.6 inches of rain a year, and June, August and September are the wettest months, so those summer rains run the gutters hardest.
Some houses and multi-story buildings need a third visit, and we see it on the same few things every time. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film that builds faster than the spring and fall rhythm. Those houses are on three or four visits a year, and we say so after the first visit, before water damage has a chance to show up on the trim.
You will know your windows need it when you see haze only in low sun, and your gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a hard rain. Those are the two signs we look for first. Haze on the outside glass shows up long before you notice dust on the windows inside. Clean glass and clear runs also do a lot for curb appeal from the street, which is why so many owners book both at once.
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 books residential window and gutter cleaning across the city, mostly on residential properties, and the neighborhoods we have worked in are listed on your estimate once we know your address. Booking is simple. To schedule service, text or call (866) 435-6328 with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you the number on the spot. Lead time is set by the calendar, and we will tell you the next open slot when we call back.
The two busy windows of the year are the spring rush and the fall leaf drop, when our calendar fills and the earliest slots go first. Not every window of the year fills the same way, so book early in those two. If you want a specific week in either window, book it early and we will hold it. We call before we come, so nobody is surprised by a truck in the driveway.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew stays outside the house, works from the ladders and the pole, and sends photos of every gutter run and the clean windows to your phone before they leave. Book the slot, and we will handle the rest.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. Our washing services start with the gutters, then the outside glass, so the runoff never lands on clean windows.
We give you the number from the stories and the size of the house, by phone or text. Send a photo of the front and we will tell you what it comes to before you commit.
On the houses we clean here, the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots, and those build on the glass long before the inside gets dirty. Cleaning the outside is where we remove dirt that the weather leaves behind, and that is where the visible difference shows.
Most of our customers here book a spring visit and a fall visit. Across North Carolina the spring visit usually falls in late April to May, and ours in the fall usually lands in November to early December. Book early, because the calendar fills first.
No, we do gutters and downspouts first and glass last, so nothing from the runs washes down onto the windows afterward. Clearing the glass before the gutters is how the grime ends up on the panes.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and we do not bill them separately. Tracks are included in the visit unless they are packed with grime, and we will tell you before we touch them.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do interior windows or pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home, including at condos, where we work from the outside only. 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.
