Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it 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 bundle in spring and fall.
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 the 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. Our window washing and washing services follow the same count, so one quote covers all the window cleaning services on the house. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it from those two things.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more time on the boom or scissor lift and more care on the ladder. Window count and oversized picture windows change the time at the glass. Heavy grime on the glass takes more time than a light film, and houses on regular cleanings schedules come in faster. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated are added to the time. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is something cleaning alone does not remove, so we note it when we see it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Here is how we get the exact number. Tell us the stories, give us an approximate window count, and text a photo of the front of the house. Our quote covers the exterior glass only, and interior and exterior cleaning is not part of this price. For this page we are not naming a client or a neighborhood, so the number comes from your house and nothing else. Ask for a written estimate before we book, and we will send it.
| 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 window and gutter work twice a year, in spring and in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across North Carolina the spring visit runs late April to May, when pollen sits as a film on south-facing glass and as paste packed into the gutters. The fall visit runs November to early December and catches the leaf load before winter. Across North Carolina, hurricanes and tropical storms on the coast can move these dates, so we plan around them. This page prices single houses only, not residential and commercial accounts.
Some houses need a third visit. We see that most often with heavy tree cover over the roof, where needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits, and clogged gutters are usually the first sign. Thomasville gets about 46.4 inches of rain a year, and July, August and September are the wettest months, so a clogged gutter in those months spills onto the wall and can start water damage at the trim. Multi-story buildings and tall two-story walls need more care at the top, and the crew plans for it. A sprinkler line that hits the glass causes the spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site collects dust faster than most. Cleaning solutions go on only where water alone will not lift the grime, and the crew rinses them off before it leaves. Windows inside stay out of this visit. Whatever the case, a visit that looks clean in spring can still show haze on the glass in late afternoon, which is the sign windows need it. Water sheeting over the edge of a gutter in rain is the sign gutters need it.
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 provides cleaning services across the city, and we book through a phone call or text. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm the estimate and the next open date. The lead time is shown on the booking page, and in the two busy windows of the year, when our calendar fills, the earlier you ask the better your chance to schedule service. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. For professional window cleaning and gutter work in one visit, we keep the schedule to one crew so the job is done once and done right, and every window and every gutter run gets the same care. Many window cleaners quote the glass alone, but we quote the gutters with it, so you get one price. Clean gutters and glass do a lot for curb appeal, and the crew checks the sill last before it leaves.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people in one visit. We clean the gutters first and the glass last, so the dirty water from the roof does not run back over the clean windows.
We do not give a figure in writing. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we quote it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
On a residential window, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, which the inside never sees. A rinse alone does not always remove dirt that has baked onto the outer pane, so the outside is worth its own pass even when the inside is clean.
Our customers here book in spring and in fall, and that holds for most residential properties we see. Text a photo of the roofline and we will tell you which visit makes sense for your lot.
No, because we clean gutters and downspouts first and glass last. Once the roof is blown clear and every downspout is flushed, the runoff has drained away, and the wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping before anyone touches the glass.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on the exterior side, and we do not bill them as extras.
Not on this visit. We clean the outside of the glass only, and we do not do pressure washing as part of this service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and leave the side gate unlocked. If you live in condos, check with the building before we book, since the crew may need access through a shared area. Our crew sends photos of every run before the truck leaves.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
