The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit here, gutters first and glass last, so nothing that falls from the roof lands on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. On our Salisbury jobs most customers book in spring and fall, when the dust and the leaf drop build up. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the house front for your number.
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 a window and gutter job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. We do not quote a price from this page; the exact number comes from a quick look at the house by text.
On the day, the crew finds what drives the quote. A third story or a steep roof that cannot be walked changes the equipment we bring. Window count and oversized panes change the time on the glass. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear and haul. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate treatment that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our Salisbury jobs the quote usually comes down to how the house sits on the lot. One customer had the gutters cleaned on a two-story house with a long back run; the crew found the downspouts packed at the elbow and the glass dusty from the pollen season, and the price followed those two facts. Every job starts with a text photo of the front of the house, the stories and a rough window count, so the estimate matches what we find. Across North Carolina the approach is the same: the crew does not guess at size from the street.
Ask about cleaning solutions if your windows have a film that water alone will not lift. Ask about residential and commercial work too, since we also clean commercial buildings on a per-building schedule. Clean glass and clear gutters do more for curb appeal than most owners expect. For a house with picture windows or a lot of trim, the window count is the first thing to share.
| 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.
On our Salisbury jobs most customers book both twice a year, and the calendar is the same reason one crew in one visit makes sense. Our fall visit usually lands in late October to November. Across North Carolina the spring visit falls in late April to May, and hurricanes and tropical storms on the coast can shift both dates.
In spring, the pollen film sits on the south-facing glass and sticky tree residue builds in the gutters. In fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until the first hard freeze, and freezing is a real risk here. Salisbury averages 43.7 inches of rain a year, and March, June and July are the wettest months, so the runs stay wet longer. Homes under heavy tree cover over the roof usually need a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. In a wet month, clogged gutters that overflow send water down the wall, and that can lead to water damage at the sill and the siding. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and those houses are on a shorter schedule too. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects more grime on the glass and may need the same extra visit.
If you want a sense of the calendar, the common pattern is simple: regular cleanings in a spring visit and a fall visit, with a third visit added where the trees or the sprinklers call for it. Professional window cleaning on this schedule keeps the glass clear and the gutters flowing without the buildup that starts to show around the frames. Most of our Salisbury customers have one or the other of those problems.
Two signs tell you it is time. Windows need cleaning when you see a haze only when the sun is low, because rain alone does not remove dirt that has built up on the frames. Gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout.
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.
Booking works the same way on every job. You call (866) 435-6328 or text, we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you an estimate you can check against the invoice. Lead time depends on the calendar at that moment; we tell you the first open day when you call rather than promising a date we cannot keep. The calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, spring and fall, so booking early in those months gets you the slot you want.
We cover the city as a whole, and we serve residential properties along with commercial buildings. Our crew does window and gutter cleaning in one visit on single-family homes, townhomes and condos, and each residential window gets the same care as the rest. For businesses we handle commercial clean windows on schedule, and we also clean multi-story buildings on a per-building schedule. Whatever the property, the goal is the same: every window and every gutter run done in the same visit, gutters first and glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on the clean glass.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside, and we call before we come so you know the truck is on the way. If you want a sill cleaned or a screen rinsed, say so when you book and it is added to the same visit. We schedule service around the weather, and we do not start a job on wet glass or on a wet roof.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. Our window cleaning services and gutter work are booked as one visit, and we clean the gutters first and the outside of the windows second, so the debris from the roof does not come down onto clean glass.
We do not quote a number from a page. The price comes from the stories and the window count, which you send us by text or give on the phone, and the number we give is the number on the invoice.
Here the outside carries most of the dirt: spring tree dust, rain dust, and sprinkler spots that only the outside shows. Our washing services target that outside film, and clean inside glass does not remove dirt from it.
Most of our Salisbury customers book in spring and in fall. Our fall visit usually falls in late October to November, and across North Carolina the spring visit falls in late April to May. Booking early in those months gets you a slot.
No, gutters first, glass last. When the gutters and downspouts are cleared, the leaves and grit come down the wall, so the glass is done after the gutters are flushed and the wall has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the same visit when you ask for them when you book.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not pressure wash siding or decks here. Interior and exterior glass are priced differently, so say which you want when you book.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, 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.
