Yes, the same two people clean your 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 in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Our New Hanover customers mostly book it in spring and fall, and most of our work here is for homes that want both jobs done together.
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 and gutter work is priced by the number of stories and the approximate window count, both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
What moves the quote on our jobs is what the crew finds on the day. A third story or a roof too steep to walk takes more time on the ladder. Oversized picture windows and a high number of panes add to the window side. Pollen and grime packed onto the glass take longer to clean off. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaves, need more clearing before they run. Gutter guards must be lifted and reseated before the gutter can be cleaned. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, since no cleaning removes it. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Pure water does most of the work on the glass, so cleaning solutions are rarely needed. Regular cleanings tend to cost less per visit than a catch-up job on gutters that have gone years without service. Our quote covers the outside of the windows only, so interior and exterior glass are not bundled into one price. Residential and commercial buildings are not priced alike, so compare quotes like with like.
On our New Hanover jobs the quote moves mostly on the number of panes and how much debris comes out of the gutters. To get your exact number, send us the number of stories, your approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house by text.

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 New Hanover jobs most customers book both twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for the exterior of the house. Professional window cleaning in spring keeps the curb appeal of the front of the house up through the spring.
In spring the pollen film builds on south-facing glass and the spring debris packs the gutters. In fall the leaf load is what we see, and storm and wind seasons can move the dates a little. Clogged gutters in fall are usually the first problem we find. Houses with heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction often need a third visit. Multi-story buildings take longer on the ladder, and a third story adds time to every run. The sprinkler spots are the ones that come back a day after cleaning.
A sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low. A sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge during rain. Left alone, clogged gutters send that water down the wall, and the water damage shows up in the siding and the sills. Dirty windows inside are a separate question for window cleaners, and this visit covers only the outside: our cleaning services here stop at the exterior glass.
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.
Booking with us starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text, where we ask for the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, and nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Lead time depends on the season, and the two busy windows of the year are when our calendar fills, so booking early in those periods is the simplest route. We schedule service around the weather and your property, and we aim to give you a window that suits your day.
Our crew does the outside of every window that can be reached from the ground or the pole, and wipes each sill and frame as it goes. Residential window work is most of what we do, and it covers residential properties and the glass that goes with them. Clean windows and clear gutters both depend on the order of work, which is why we do gutters first and glass last on every visit. Booking window and gutter cleaning as one job means one visit, not two.
Yes, the same two people do both on one visit. Our washing services cover the glass and the gutters, and we do the gutters first and the glass last, so the leaves and grit do not run down onto clean windows.
We do not quote a figure without knowing the house. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and we give it by phone at (866) 435-6328 or by text. If your home is one of the condos in a shared building, tell us whether the gutters belong to your unit or to the building before you book.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: rain dust, runoff and sprinkler spots that build up on the outside glass. Cleaning the inside alone does not remove dirt from the outside panes, so all of that stays in place.
Most of our New Hanover customers book in spring and in fall, so those are the windows when our calendar fills fastest.
Not on our visits. We clear the gutters and downspouts, flush every downspout and let the wall stop dripping before anyone touches the glass, so nothing runs back onto the clean panes.
Screens are rinsed, sills are wiped and tracks are part of the visit, and they are not billed as extras.
Exterior glass only on this visit. We do not clean inside the windows and we do not do pressure washing.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while 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.
