Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean windows. We price the job by the number of stories, and booking both together costs less than two separate trips. Across North Carolina, most homes book this combined visit in spring and fall, when leaves and grit peak. Call (866) 435-6328 to book.
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.
Window washing is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Doing gutter cleaning and exterior window cleaning in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, because one crew sets up once. Some window cleaners quote by the pane, but we price the bundle from stories and glass count. Ask for the bundle when you call, and professional window cleaning and gutter work get one quote.
Several things move the quote, and our crew sees them on the day. A third story or a steep roof means more setup time. Window count rises with oversized panes and tall picture windows. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with cleaning, so we flag it on the visit rather than promising to remove it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On one Waxhaw job, the quote moved because the house had clogged gutters running along two stories and a large number of exterior panes, with signs of water damage on the fascia below one run. The crew cleared the gutters, flushed each downspout, and rinsed the glass on the same visit, and the customer booked the bundle instead of two trips. Since every house is different, the way to get your exact number is to text us a photo of the front of the house, because curb appeal is mostly the glass and gutters people see from the street. Tell us how many stories it has and roughly how many windows you want cleaned. We do not clean windows inside on this visit and we do not do pressure washing, so the quote covers the outside of the glass and the gutters only.
| 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 Waxhaw customers book both gutter cleaning and window cleaning twice a year, in late spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. Our cleaning services work well when you schedule service in those two windows, before leaves and dust build up on every window and in the gutters. A residential window job goes better with the gutters, since both are done from the same ladder setup. What we find on the glass in April is a dusty film on south-facing windows and a paste of pollen and seeds in the downspout elbows. By late fall the gutters hold a wet leaf mat that a rain turns into sludge, and the glass shows the grime that built up over the warmer months. Storm and wind seasons can move these dates, so we set the appointment when the roof is clear rather than on a fixed calendar day.
Some residential properties need a third visit beyond the two regular cleanings. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed between visits, and 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 dirt on the sills and the lower panes, so those homes often come back sooner. Our crew checks each property on the first visit and tells you which of these applies.
Between cleanings, you will know windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in 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.
Our window cleaning services and the crew's washing services cover gutters and exterior glass at residential and commercial properties across Waxhaw, and we work the whole city rather than one district. Booking starts with a quick estimate: call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house with your number of stories. We then confirm a date and call before we arrive. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, since the crew never comes inside. Waxhaw's busiest stretches are the spring season and the fall leaf drop, and our calendar fills fastest during those weeks, so booking early in those months helps.
We clean the full run of gutters and downspouts, flush each one until the water runs clear, and wipe the sills and frames so the glass is not left dirty on the edges. Runoff from the roof is the first thing we check, because it shows where the gutters are failing. We also clean condos and other multi-story buildings in the area, where several sets of windows and gutters can be scheduled in one visit. Where grime is heavy, we work to remove dirt completely rather than leaving a film, and any leftover dirt we can see from the ladder gets noted on the report.
Yes. The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the glass in one visit, gutters first and glass last.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book anything.
Usually yes on the outside alone, because pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots build up on the exterior, and that is what most people see first.
Most of our customers here book in late spring, after the pollen drop, and again in late fall, after the leaves come down. Across North Carolina the pattern is the same, spring and fall.
No, because we clean gutters first and glass last. The leaves and grit come down the wall when a run is cleared, so the glass has to wait until the wall stops dripping.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are cleaned as part of the job, with purified water rather than harsh cleaning solutions. They are not billed as extras.
No. The interior glass is not part of this visit; we clean the exterior glass only, 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 if windows face it, 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.
