Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
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. Our window cleaning services follow the same count-based quote. The number we give you on the phone is the number on your invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof changes how we set up. Window count and oversized picture windows take more time on the glass. Grime that has built up on the lower panes, the kind that collects along a driveway or a busy road, takes longer than a light film. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning at all. The price covers the outside of the glass; interior and exterior work is not part of this number.
To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house, and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. Most customers find that a single visit covers the regular cleanings they need, and our crew will photograph every run so you can see what we did. Ask us for a written estimate before you book, and you will know the cost of your window washing services and gutter work before the crew arrives.

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 customers book both jobs twice a year, once in the spring and once in the fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense. Here in Morganton, what we find at each visit follows the seasons. Pollen collects as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters, so spring is when the window and gutter work has the most to do. Most pollen comes off with water alone, and cleaning solutions come out only when a film will not lift. In the fall, we find the wet leaf mat, and on houses that skipped that visit we often see runs that have sagged under the weight of standing water.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. Water sheeting over the edge usually means a run of clogged gutters, and that standing water is how water damage starts on fascia and trim. In Morganton, where freezing is a real risk, water that sits in a clogged run can also freeze and split a joint. Morganton averages 51.5 inches of precipitation a year, and June, August and December are its wettest months, which is when a slow run is most likely to overflow. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after we clean them. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up a layer of dust that builds up quickly. Both residential and commercial multi-story buildings, and homes with a lot of glass, also tend to need more frequent visits to keep the window and gutter work on schedule.
The sign that windows need cleaning is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. The sign that gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in a rain. Most of the haze comes from outside, so the windows inside are rarely the first place a film starts.
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 cleans gutters and exterior windows across the city, and we have worked on many of its neighborhoods. Professional window cleaning on a two-story house means the ladder work is done by the crew, not by the homeowner. Clear gutters and downspouts and clean glass both show from the street, so they add to curb appeal the first time someone drives past. Booking starts with an estimate by phone or text: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we will get back to you with a number. Lead time depends on the season, and the busiest windows of the year are the spring months and the fall leaf months, when our calendar fills first. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for the exterior work.
We do residential properties and commercial work, and the cleaning services for both come from the same crew, so if your building is a larger one, mention that when you call. The crew is on a schedule that lets us give every window the same attention, and we will confirm the date with you before it is on the calendar. For a fast estimate, call (866) 435-6328 and we will walk you through what we need to schedule service.
Yes. On residential properties the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. Doing both at once means one setup and one trip.
We do not quote a figure without knowing the house. The number comes from the stories, the approximate window count and what is in the gutters. If you own one of the condos in a shared building, tell us when you call, since shared gutter runs and building exteriors can change the number. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the number.
It is, because the outside takes most of the load here. A residential window collects rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots on the exterior glass, and the inside cannot clean that off. Our crew handles the exterior only on this visit.
Most of our customers here book in the spring and in the fall. Those are the two windows when spring debris and fall leaves build up enough to matter, so the calendar fills first at those times.
Not if the order is right. When a run is cleared, leaves, grit and black water come down the wall. Runoff from a run that has not been cleared carries that debris across any window below it. We clear the gutters and flush the downspouts first, then clean the glass, so the glass only has to be done once.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are cleaned on request and are not billed as extras when they are part of the same visit.
No. On this visit we clean the exterior glass only. Our crew will remove dirt with water and does not do pressure washing or interior windows here.
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.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
