The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, and we do the gutters first and the glass last so the glass stays clean. We price the job by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book this service in spring and fall, which is the time of year the pollen and leaves build up on both the glass and the gutters.
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 gutter and window cleaning 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. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge when the crew finishes.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder. A high number of windows or oversized picture windows takes longer to reach. Clogged gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with debris and leaves, need more hours than a light run. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time to the job. Heavy grime on the glass takes a second pass, and hard-water spotting left by sprinklers is one more item that no cleaning removes. A gutter that overflows can also cause water damage to the siding below it, which is one more reason the crew clears it first. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Across North Carolina, the price for a window and gutter cleaning that we quote from a photo of the front of the house and a rough window count tends to match the final invoice closely, because the crew confirms the stories and the glass before the visit. Text us a photo of the front of the house with your story count and a rough window count, and we will reply with the price. Regular cleanings for residential and commercial properties follow the same pricing approach, and we set the number before the crew arrives. Cleaning solutions are included in the quote. The number covers exterior glass only, and interior and exterior work are never mixed into one line on the invoice.
| 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 Summerfield book our cleaning services twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the calendar. Pollen settles as a film on south-facing glass and as a paste in the gutters through spring, and leaves pile into the gutter runs in fall. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates a few weeks in either direction, so we book the visit once the glass and the gutters show the buildup. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep the curb appeal up, and professional window cleaning on a set calendar catches the buildup before it bakes on.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, and a house close to a busy road or active construction. Sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and those need a separate mineral treatment rather than another pass with the squeegee.
You will know windows need cleaning when you see a haze on the glass only when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when runoff sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspout. Those two signs are the ones we ask about on the phone before we book the visit, and they tell us which of the two needs attention first.
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 schedule our window cleaning services in Summerfield through a short phone or text estimate, where you give us the number of stories and send a photo of the front of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 to schedule service, and a residential window and gutter cleaning slot is usually confirmed within the lead time we list for your area. We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but the crew does need the side gate open and cars off the driveway if windows face it.
The two busiest windows of the year are the spring window and the fall leaf season, and our calendar fills fastest in those weeks. If you want a specific date during either window, it helps to ask early. Outside those windows we can usually work around your schedule, and we confirm the exact arrival window the day before.
We clean the outside of every window on the house, including the upper floors from the pole. The crew wipes each sill and each frame as part of the job, and will remove dirt from the tracks on the same visit. Our crew handles multi-story buildings with the pole for the upper floors and the ladder for the gutters. We also cover residential properties, condos and small buildings, so if your house has a few extra windows on a side wall, the crew will tell you how many before quoting. We want you to know exactly what gets cleaned before the crew arrives.
Yes, the same two people do both on one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the gutters does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will give you the figure over the phone.
Yes, because the outside carries the rain dust, the spring film and the sprinkler spots in Summerfield, and those are what cloud the glass from the outside. Grime on the exterior does not come off by cleaning the inside, so the outside needs its own visit.
Most of our Summerfield customers book in late spring and in fall, when the leaves and the spring buildup are heaviest. Ask for a date early because those weeks fill first.
No, if the gutters and downspouts go first and the glass goes last. Runoff from a gutter cleaning is the reason the crew does the glass at the end.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are included on the same visit. Those are not billed as extras.
We do not clean the windows inside the house on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. The work covers the exterior glass and the gutters only.
No, 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 and unlock the side gate.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
