Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs back down onto clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips.
Across North Carolina, most of the homes we service book this bundle in the spring and fall, when pollen and leaves load the gutters and film the glass.
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.
Our washing services are quoted from the number of stories and the approximate window count. The bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, what moves the quote is what the crew finds. Stories and steep roofs take longer on the ladder. Window count and oversized panes change the time that window washing takes on the glass, and picture windows need more care to keep the frames dry. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles, leaves and grime, take the most time at the downspouts. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is a stain that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we start.
Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. Window cleaning services that include the gutters are one quote, not two. If you want the interior and exterior of the glass, that is a different job from this visit, which covers the exterior only.
Regular cleanings keep gutters from packing up between visits, so the time on the day stays closer to a standard visit. A house with a sprinkler line aimed at the glass takes more time than one without, because the spotting has to be checked window by window. To get the exact number, send us a photo of the front of the house by text along with the number of stories, and tell us roughly how many windows face the street.
| 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.
Across North Carolina most homes book window and gutter cleaning twice a year, in the spring and in the fall. The same calendar suits residential and commercial buildings, and one crew can handle the gutters and the glass in a single visit, so there is no second trip to plan.
In late April and May we see pollen film on south-facing glass, and a damp paste packs into the gutters. In November it is the leaf load and the wet mat that sits in the runs after the trees drop. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we confirm the exact day when you call. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a date, or text a photo of the gutters and we tell you whether a visit is due.
Some homes need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means packed downspouts between visits. Clogged gutters that overflow in a heavy rain are how water damage starts on the siding and the trim. 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 collects more dust on the frames. Interior glass is a separate job, so the windows inside are not part of this 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 heavy rain. A film a rinse will not lift needs the pole and purified water, not a bottle of cleaning solutions from the hardware store.
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 starts with an estimate by phone or text. Call (866) 435-6328 or send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we give you a number from those. Lead time depends on the season. The spring months and the fall leaf months are when our calendar fills first, so book early in those periods. Clean glass and clear gutters do a lot for curb appeal, and our cleaning services are built around both.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew does not come inside, and we call before we come. Our window cleaners do professional window cleaning from the outside with a water-fed pole, so the glass dries clean and the frames stay dry. Every residential window on the outside of the house is part of the quote, not a sample of it. The sill under each pane gets wiped too. The pole reaches the upper floors of multi-story buildings as well as the ground floor of a house. Ask for a slot by date with the schedule service request, and we confirm the time window on the day before.
Yes, on residential properties the same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and then the glass, so the work is done once and nothing runs back onto clean panes.
We give the number by phone or text from the stories and the size of the house. Send a photo of the front and tell us the stories, and we quote the bundle from those. If the home is a condo, send the same details: stories and window count.
Yes. Rain dust, grime and sprinkler spots sit on the outside of each residential window, and an indoor cleaning will not remove dirt from that glass. The outside is where the work is.
Most people book window and gutter cleaning in the spring and again in the fall. Across North Carolina the pattern is spring and fall, and we confirm the exact day when you call.
No, the order of the work prevents it. The gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed first, so the runoff has drained before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the outside of the house, and the gutters and downspouts on the same house are cleared in the same visit.
Exterior only on this visit. The windows inside stay as they are, 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 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.
