The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit here, 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 the two jobs separately. On our Mint Hill jobs most of our customers book this in spring and fall, which is when the tree debris and 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 quote by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than two separate trips, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Your quote is built from what the crew finds on the day, not from a formula we apply sight unseen.
On our jobs, the things that move a quote are stories and steep roofs, the window count and any oversized panes, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window washing done from the pole is the normal method here, and our washing services handle the runoff from the roof as part of the gutter run.
For a single house the useful thing you can send us is the number of stories and a rough count of the windows, plus a photo of the front of the house taken from the sidewalk. With those we can give you the exact figure before the visit. We clean condos and single-family homes, and other residential properties, on the same basis. The grime on the outside glass is priced apart from the gutter debris, so the quote shows each part and the crew knows where to remove dirt. Ask us for a written estimate of our window cleaning services if you want the breakdown on paper before you book a date.
| 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 customers in Mint Hill book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Across North Carolina, spring visits run from late April to May, and the fall visit runs from November to early December here in Mint Hill. Pollen and leaf loads come down the same way on residential and commercial buildings, so the timing holds for both.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and a sticky paste packed in the gutter elbows, and picture windows show it worst because nothing breaks up the film across the pane. Cleaning solutions go on only where a film needs them, and the rest comes off with purified water. Interior and exterior glass pick up different dirt, and this visit covers the outside. In fall the leaf load is the main job, and the wet leaf mat sits in the runs until the first cold snaps. Wind and storm seasons can push the dates a little either way, and we adjust the booking when the weather does.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the downspouts loading between cleanings, a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site picks up more grime than a quiet street. If your house is one of those, we will tell you after the first visit and set up regular cleanings on that schedule.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain. Either one is a reason to call (866) 435-6328 and 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 Mint Hill and books you through the same process whichever part of town you are in. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we confirm the time window once we know every window on the house. Lead times depend on the season, and our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months gets you a slot sooner.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, so windows inside are not part of the visit. For professional window cleaning on the outside of your home, the crew works from the ground and the pole. On multi-story buildings and tall houses we use a boom or scissor lift, so the upper glass is reached from the lift and not a leaned ladder. Clean glass and clear gutters do most of the work for curb appeal, and that is what the crew is booked to deliver.
If you have clogged gutters or a roof that shows signs of water damage from a backed-up run, tell us when you book so the crew can plan for it. We are one of several window cleaners and cleaning services in the area, and what sets our work apart is that the same crew handles both jobs and sends you photos of the result. Text a photo of the roofline and we can tell you what to expect before anyone climbs a ladder.
Yes. Our crew does both in one visit, with gutters first and glass last, so nothing from the gutters washes onto clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text before the visit.
Yes, and it is often the first step. On our jobs the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees, so clean windows on the outside are what most homeowners notice first.
Most of our customers book a residential window and gutter visit in spring and fall, and you can ask us for the dates that fit the calendar this year.
No, that is the reason we do gutters first and glass last, so the runoff is cleared before the glass is touched.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and the tracks are included on the same basis.
On this visit we clean the exterior only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
