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 the approximate window count, and doing both together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across North Carolina, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and that is the calendar we keep. Call (866) 435-6328 for a number from your stories and window count.
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.
The number we give on the phone is the number we charge: we quote from the number of stories, the approximate window count, and whether the gutters need a clean at all. Both jobs in one visit cost less than booking window washing and gutter cleaning separately, because one crew sets up once and works the house in a single pass.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of oversized picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Cleaning gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job and not billed as extras.
Window washing is the easy part to price, since a residential window is easy to count from the street, and we count every window before we quote. Gutters are harder, because the grime and runoff sit where you cannot see them until a crew is on the ladder. That is why we ask for a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the stories, so the number reflects what is actually up there. Our crew will photograph the gutter runs and report what it finds before any work starts, and you can remove dirt from the windows with the same visit rather than a second trip.
We would rather give you the exact number on the first call than a range that changes at the door. Send the stories and a photo of the front, and the window washing services and gutter work come back as one figure.

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.
On our Waynesville jobs, most customers book both twice a year, in the spring and in the fall, and that is why one crew and one visit makes sense. Across North Carolina, spring visits run late April to May, and our fall visits run October to early November. The pattern is the same across the state: seed drops in spring, leaves and wet debris in fall.
In spring, a pollen film builds on south-facing glass and seed paste packs the gutters, so the visit is about clearing the seed and grit before summer storms wash it onto the sills. In fall, the leaf load is the job, and on houses that skipped that visit we see runs sagging under the weight by winter.
Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a lot near a busy road or construction need a third visit. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning, and they need a separate mineral treatment rather than more rinsing. Those are the cases where regular cleanings go past twice a year.
Windows tell you when they need it: a haze you only see when the sun is low, usually on the sunny side in the afternoon. Gutters tell you the same way, with water sheeting over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. When you see either one, the interior and exterior glass both show it, and it is time to call.
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 works across Waynesville on residential and commercial buildings, and booking runs on one call or text. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we return a figure the same way. Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, so an early call keeps the slot you want.
We run window cleaning services and gutter work from a single crew, and we do not hand the work to a second company. That is why the same people who clean the gutters are the ones on the glass, and why the number is one number.
Multi-story buildings, condos and homes with a lot of glass take longer, and we plan the visit so the ladder work is done before the glass. We are not a window cleaners network or a lead service; the crew you book is the crew that arrives. For a professional window cleaning visit, we work from a boom or scissor lift on the taller runs and from a pole on the upper glass. Clean glass and clear gutters are the first thing anyone sees, so they carry most of the curb appeal.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. The crew brings its own cleaning solutions and water. Clogged gutters that have been left a long time can cause water damage to fascia and the wall below, so the sooner the call, the simpler the job. The crew texts photos of every run before it leaves.
Yes. Our crew does both, and it is the same two people on the ladder for the gutters and on the glass for the windows. Gutters go first and the glass last, so nothing runs back onto clean panes.
The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it over the phone or by text. Send the stories and a photo of the front, and you get one figure for the whole job.
It is worth it if the outside carries spring film, rain dust, or sprinkler spots, which is common on residential properties here. The outside is where the grime lands first, so cleaning only the inside leaves the haze in place.
Most of our Waynesville customers book in late spring and in fall, after the pollen drop and after the leaves come down. Across North Carolina that is the common calendar, and we keep it.
Not on our jobs, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. Clearing a run sends leaves and black water down the wall, so the glass has to come after, and the clean windows stay clean.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and they are not billed as extras. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the window.
This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean the windows inside the house, and we do not do pressure washing on this visit.
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.
