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 off the roof. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and having both done in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book the work for the spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 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.
Your price is set by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the bundle done as one window and gutter visit is cheaper than booking the two jobs separately. We quote it by phone or text from those two numbers, and the figure you hear before we come is the figure on the invoice. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The cleaning solutions and equipment are in the quote, and so is the time on the gutters.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are consistent. A third story or a roof steep enough that we cannot walk it changes the lift we bring. Oversized picture windows take more time per pane than standard sashes. Gutters nobody has opened in years, or packed with pollen paste and leaf mat, take longer to clear before any water goes through them. Guards we have to lift and reseat add time, and hard-water spotting from a sprinkler line is a separate treatment that cleaning alone will not remove. We see the cleanings that run longest on houses that have gone a long stretch without anyone up on the roof, and we tell you that before the crew leaves rather than after.
For a Spout Springs house the fastest way to get the exact number is a photo of the front of the house sent by text, plus the number of stories and a rough count of windows. We can usually firm that up without a site visit when the house is a simple two-story with clear access. Ask for a written estimate if you want the lines itemized before you commit.
| 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 of our customers book both gutter cleaning and window cleaning services twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for each season. Across North Carolina the spring visit usually lands in late April to May, and our fall visits in Spout Springs usually land in November to early December. The spring visit lands after the pollen season has passed its peak, when we find a fine yellow film on the south-facing glass and a sticky tree-dust film packed into the gutter elbows. The fall visit lands after the leaves have come down, when clogged gutters full of wet leaf mat are what we pull out of the runs.
Across North Carolina, hurricanes and tropical storms on the coast can move those dates. A wet summer or a tropical system brings more debris into the runs, and a dry fall keeps the mat lighter. Spout Springs gets about 47.1 inches of rain a year, and June, July and September are its wettest months. Houses under heavy tree cover over the roof are a different case, and we usually see those on a third visit, because needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. Multi-story buildings take more lift time, and we plan the visit around that. A sprinkler line that hits the glass is the other common reason for a third visit, since the spots it leaves come back a day after we clean them.
The sign that windows need cleaning sooner is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, through the glass, and that rain does not wash away. The sign that gutters need it is water sheeting over the edge in a steady rain instead of running into the downspout, and a run that keeps doing it can mean water damage at the fascia. Regular cleanings twice a year keep the buildup from setting, and clean glass and clear runs also help curb appeal.
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 residential properties across Spout Springs, and the booking process is the same at every address. You call or text with the number of stories and send a photo of the house front, and we give you the number by return. Lead time depends on the season, and during the two busy windows of the year, when tree dust and leaves are heavy, our calendar fills faster, so it is worth booking early. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work.
Once you schedule service, the crew works the whole house from the outside, so each window and each run is covered in the same visit, not returned to later. Every window on the outside of the house gets the same treatment, the sill is wiped, and the frame and screen are included. Our window and gutter cleaning is built around one trip, and the residential window work and the gutters are done from one setup per side of the house. Professional window cleaning is booked the same way, so you get clean windows on every side of the house from one setup.
Yes, and our washing services for a house come as one visit with the same two people on the ladder. We clean the gutters first and the outside of the windows second, so the glass is not dirtied again by what comes off the roof.
We do not quote a figure without the details. The number comes from your stories and approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text.
On the houses we clean in Spout Springs the outside carries the yellow tree film, rain dust and sprinkler spots, so the glass looks dirtier than the inside suggests. Outside cleaning is the part that changes what you see through the window, because that is where we remove dirt first.
Across North Carolina our customers book spring and fall, and on our Spout Springs jobs that is the same pattern. Book the visit once the tree dust or the leaves have peaked, and ask us for the exact timing for your house.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Once the gutters and downspouts are clear and the wall has stopped dripping, the windows are washed without the runoff reaching them.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and the frame is included in the visit. Tracks are part of the work when they are reachable from the outside.
Exterior only on this visit. Windows inside the house are not part of it, and pressure washing is not either.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in one of several condos in a building, tell us your unit and floor so we quote your windows and not the whole building.
This page covers residential properties in Spout Springs, and the price is set by stories and window count for the house. Ask us by phone whether a building outside that scope fits the crew before you book.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
