Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of each residential window in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that falls from the roof lands on clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and booking both jobs together costs less than two separate trips. Our crew has done this work across North Carolina in the spring and the fall, when leaves and grit build up the most, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice.
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 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 bundle covers window washing and gutter cleaning together, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of our washing services and are not billed as extras. The windows inside are not part of this quote, so interior and exterior glass never appear as two line items.
Several things move the quote, and our crew sees them on the day. Work on multi-story buildings takes more time on the ladder, and a third story or a steep roof adds to it. Oversized picture windows and a high window count add hours. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves need more work before the water can run. Years of grime on the glass takes longer to clear. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can clear the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a mineral stain that no cleaning removes, and we tell you about it before we start so you are not surprised by it later.
On our Wendell jobs, the quote comes from a short phone call to (866) 435-6328 or a text. Tell us the number of stories, give us a rough count of windows, and send a photo of the front of the house. That is usually enough for us to give you a number you can plan around. Regular cleanings keep the job quick, because a run that is cleaned every visit does not build up the way one left for years does. If you are not sure about the window count, count the panes on the front and multiply by the number of stories, and we will adjust it when we see the house.
| 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 gutters and exterior windows twice a year, and a crew in one visit makes sense because both run on the same calendar. Spring and fall are the two windows that matter most.
In spring, the pollen film settles on south-facing glass and the same film packs into the gutter elbows. On the glass, it shows as a yellow haze that gets worse after a rain. In fall, the leaf load comes down and the wet leaf mat sits in the runs through the cold weather. Storms and high winds can move these dates, so we look at the house before we set the schedule.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit leave clogged gutters between cleanings. 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 dust on the frames and sills, and the crew can remove dirt from them on the visit. A run that overflows for a season can also cause water damage at the fascia. We see these cases often enough to tell you about them on the first visit.
You will see the windows need cleaning when there is a haze you only notice when the sun is low. You will see the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down 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.
We schedule gutter and window cleaning services in Wendell through a simple process. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and tell us how many stories it has. We will confirm the window count on the call and give you a written estimate. Once you approve it, we book a date that fits the crew's route. Most of our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the fall leaf season, so booking early in those months gives you more choice of day.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside the house. We call before we arrive, so you are not surprised by a truck in the driveway, and we send photos of every gutter run and the finished glass before we leave.
Professional window cleaning is what we do, and our crew works with homeowners who want the work done properly and on time. We keep our schedule tight so every window gets the same attention. We take on the work that fits our routes, and we tell you plainly if a date will not work so you can plan with us. Clean glass and gutters also help curb appeal. If you want a dependable crew for your exterior cleaning, reach out and we will show you what the visit looks like before anything starts.
Yes. Our crew cleans the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit, and it is the same two people on the ladder for both jobs. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so the debris from the roof does not run back across the clean panes.
We do not quote a figure off a chart. The number comes from the number of stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone or text. If the building mixes residential and commercial use, tell us on the call, since the visit plan changes with the building. Send us the story count and a photo of the front, and we will give you the number you can plan around.
On residential properties in Wendell, the outside takes the most. Spring haze settles on the glass, rain brings dust down onto the frames, and sprinklers leave mineral spots, so the outside gets dirty even when the inside looks fine. Cleaning the outside with cleaning solutions keeps the glass clear and helps curb appeal without touching the interior.
Most of our Wendell customers book in spring and in fall. Across North Carolina, spring visits run late April to May, and the fall visit usually falls in November to early December, after the leaves drop. If your home is one of several condos in the same building, tell us when you call so we can plan the visit. Book early in those months if you want more choice of day.
No, because we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When a run is cleared, the leaves, grit and black water come down the wall, so the glass waits until the runs are flushed and the runoff has stopped dripping.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the visit as well, and we tell you on the phone if anything about the frames needs more time.
This visit covers the exterior glass only. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing on this visit, so the quote covers the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Before the crew arrives, turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up. Leave the side gate unlocked, and we will take care of the rest.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
