Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. Gutters go first and the glass goes last, so nothing runs down onto clean panes. We price by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our crew works through this for homeowners across North Carolina every spring and fall, and the number we give you by 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.
Our washing services are priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and our window cleaning services done in one visit cost less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, and we will not change it on the day.
What moves the quote is what the crew finds when it gets on the ladder. A third story or a steep roof changes how we set up. Window count matters, and so do oversized panes that need a boom or scissor lift instead of a pole. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or packed with needles and leaves, take more time, and gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared. Heavy grime on the glass and frames is part of the normal job, but hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, so we tell you about it before we start. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. The quote covers the exterior only, and interior and exterior glass are never priced as one job.
On our Winston-Salem jobs, the quote is built from the same few facts each time: stories, window count, and whether the gutters have been cleared recently. The easiest way to get an exact number is to send a photo of the front of the house by text, along with the story count and a rough window count. We look at it and call you back with the figure before we book anything. Window washing on a house this size is a half-day job for most crews, and our cleanings are scheduled so the glass is dry before the next rain. Picture windows and high sills take more care, and that is built into the number too. For the homeowners who want regular cleanings, we set a schedule that matches the season and keep the same crew on 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 both jobs twice a year, in spring and again in fall, and one crew in one visit makes sense for that schedule. The dates below are written for houses, and residential and commercial buildings with a different glass load may need their own schedule.
In spring, we find a pollen film on south-facing glass and paste packed into the gutter elbows. A film like that often needs more than a plain rinse, so the cleaning solutions we use in spring are picked for it. The layer that settles in April is the hardest to get out of a downspout once it dries. In the fall, the leaf load comes down over a few weeks, and clogged gutters holding a wet leaf mat into the freeze season are what sag the hangers over winter. Storm and wind seasons can move the dates by a few weeks, so we watch the weather and call ahead.
Some houses, and multi-story buildings with a lot of upper glass, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between visits. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house close to a busy road or active construction collects dust faster than a quiet street. On those houses we suggest a third visit and say so on the first call.
Windows need cleaning when you can see a haze only when the sun is low. Most of that haze sits on the outside glass, and the windows inside are not part of this visit. Gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout. A clogged run that sends water over the edge is how water damage starts at the fascia, so we check for it on the visit.
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 cleaners have worked across Winston-Salem, and we book by phone or text. Send a photo of the house front and tell us the number of stories, and we give you a date. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year fill first. When our calendar is full we say so and offer the next open slot rather than guessing.
We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew does not come inside. We provide professional window cleaning services with purified water, which dries clean, and we give every window the same attention from the bottom sill up. The gutters are cleared first, so the glass is cleaned once and stays clean. Our cleaning services cover the full exterior of the house, and we keep the work tidy so the curb appeal is the last thing you have to think about.
If your house falls in the busy window, book early. If it does not, a slot usually opens within a couple of weeks. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house.
Yes. Our crew clears the gutters and downspouts, then does the outside of the windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. You get one set of photos and one invoice.
For residential properties and condos alike, the number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it by phone or text. Send a photo of the front of the house or building and we will call you back with the figure.
On our residential window jobs, the outside carries most of the buildup here: pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots. Clean inside glass will still look hazy once the outside is coated.
Our Winston-Salem customers mostly book in late spring and again in late fall. Call (866) 435-6328 to get on the calendar before the busy weeks fill.
No, because we clean gutters first and the glass last. When the glass is washed first, the runoff from the gutters, and the debris it carries, runs down onto it, and the glass has to be done again.
Screens are rinsed to remove dirt and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included in the same visit, so you do not pay for them separately.
We clean the exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows or do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, and unlock the side gate. Text a roofline photo if you want us to check it first.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
