Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by what comes out of the gutters. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and two jobs booked together in one visit cost less than two separate trips. We have done this work across North Carolina for years, and on our Lumberton jobs most people book the two in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. You can get a number by phone or text in a few minutes.
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. Booking gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit costs less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the job is done. Many window cleaners quote glass and gutters as two separate jobs, and we quote them as one, so the window washing and the gutter work share a single setup.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the ladder and a boom or scissor lift to reach the upper runs. Pricing for multi-story buildings rises with each story. On a house this size, professional window cleaning needs ladders, a water-fed pole and a second person on the ground. A large number of window panes, or oversized picture windows, takes longer per pane. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles, leaves and seed pods from nearby trees, take more work to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated add time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers will not come off with cleaning, and we will tell you so before we charge for anything. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Lumberton jobs, the quotes that surprise people are usually the ones with a lot of glass under heavy tree cover, where the water damage from clogged gutters shows up on the siding below. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and that is most of why people book. Work on the windows inside is not part of this quote. We give the exact number once we know your stories and window count. The fastest way to get it is to text us a photo of the front of the house with the number of stories, and we will come back with a figure you can plan around.
| 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 Lumberton customers book both cleaning services twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. In the spring, when the pollen film on south-facing glass and the pollen paste in the gutters are at their thickest, the windows and downspouts take the most work. Across North Carolina, spring visits usually run late April to May. In the fall, the leaf load is what we find in the gutters, and the wet mat holds water against the fascia until winter. Our fall visits usually land in November to early December.
Storm and wind seasons move the dates. Across North Carolina, hurricanes and tropical storms on the coast can shift the schedule, and in Lumberton the wettest months are June, July and August, with about 50.8 inches of rain a year. Heavy tree cover makes the timing harder to predict: if a roof sits under big trees, the gutters fill faster and every window picks up grime between visits, so those houses usually need a third visit. The same goes for a sprinkler line that hits the glass, which leaves the spots that come back a day after cleaning, and for a house near a busy road or ongoing construction, where dust builds up on the sills. A residential window on the shaded side of the house holds dust longer, so that side goes in the same visit as the rest. Those are the cases where we suggest you schedule service more often.
You will know windows need it when a haze shows up only when the sun is low. Your clean windows should look clear from the street at any hour. You will know gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running into the downspout. Keeping up with regular cleanings keeps both in check between seasons, and the glass stays clear longer when the gutters are cleared on the same visit.
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 clean the outside of windows and the gutters on residential properties across Lumberton, and we also do residential gutter cleaning for homeowners as part of the same route. Our window cleaning services and our washing services run on the same route, so one crew covers both. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate that asks for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Lead times vary with the season, and in the two busy windows of the year, when pollen and leaves are heaviest, our calendar fills first. Call (866) 435-6328 ahead and we will tell you the next open date.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come. Our crew works from the outside of the house and does not need to enter. It clears the gutters and downspouts in the same pass as the glass below, so the grime and runoff from the upper runs gets handled first, and there is one visit and one invoice. Our water-fed pole lets the crew remove dirt from the glass and frames without going inside. If the job is condos, tell us the number of stories and the window count on the phone, and we will quote it the same way.
Yes. The same two people do both on one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number depends on stories and size. Text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories, and we will give you a figure by text or phone.
On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so the glass looks dull from the street even when the inside is clean. We clean the glass with purified water, so no cleaning solutions are left on the sills or plants below.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, when pollen and leaves are heaviest. Keeping up with regular cleanings in those two windows keeps the gutters clear and the glass readable.
No, that is why we do gutters first and glass last. Once the runs are cleared and the downspouts are flushed, the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit unless they are heavily caked, in which case we will say so first.
This page covers residential houses. For a commercial building, call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you whether the crew can take it. This visit is exterior only. Work on the interior and exterior is not combined here, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. Call (866) 435-6328 if you want to book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
