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 both jobs done together cost less than booking them as two separate trips. On our Aiken jobs most customers book in spring and fall, so that is when our calendar is busiest.
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. Doing the gutters and the outside glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. A window and gutter visit is quoted as one job, so ask for the combined figure.
On our jobs the things that move a quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, window count and picture windows, gutters nobody has opened in years and packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards we have to lift and reseat, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras. We use purified water on the glass, not cleaning solutions, so the panes dry without residue. Interior and exterior glass are different jobs, and this quote covers the outside only.
Here is how we get the exact number. Text us a photo of the front of the house with your stories and a rough window count, or call (866) 435-6328, and we come back with a figure before anyone books a date. Crews on our Aiken jobs see the same thing again and again: the houses with the most trees need the most visits, not the biggest glass. A house on regular cleanings goes faster, since there is less built-up grime. This page covers homes only, so for a residential and commercial building, send the same photo and we will say whether the job fits. Every one of our Aiken quotes starts from the same questions, so there are no surprises when the invoice arrives.
| 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 Aiken customers book gutters and exterior windows twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew doing both in one visit makes sense for them. Across South Carolina the spring visit usually falls in mid to late April, and in Aiken the fall visit usually runs November to early December.
In spring we find pollen film on south-facing glass and pollen paste packed in the gutters. Aiken gets about 47.5 inches of rain a year, and June, July and August are the wettest months, so the gutters carry the most water then. In fall the leaf load is the main job, because clogged gutters are the first thing we clear. Across South Carolina, hurricanes and tropical remnants are the storm season that moves those dates on the calendar.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line hitting the glass, or a house near a busy road or construction usually means more frequent cleanings, and multi-story buildings often need the same. The spots from sprinklers come back a day after cleaning, which is the clearest sign of that. Standing water in clogged gutters can seep into fascia and sill boards and cause water damage, so clear them before the rains. Many window cleaners skip the gutters, so the wash water from the roof ends up on the glass they just did.
You will know the windows need it when you see haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need it when water sheets over the edge in rain. Grime on the outside also dulls the view through the windows inside, so curb appeal suffers before the glass looks truly dirty. If the haze will not shift, call for professional window cleaning rather than another rinse. When you compare cleaning services, ask whether the gutters are included, because many window-only quotes leave them out.
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 provides window and gutter cleaning across the city and keeps a regular schedule for residential properties. Each residential window on the list gets the same care, from the glass down to the sill. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or send a photo of the house front and your stories by text. Clean windows and clear gutters start with the estimate, and every window on the house goes on the list before we come.
Lead time depends on the calendar, which fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year. We call before we come. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we do not work inside. Sill cleaning and the frame of every window are part of the visit, so the job is finished when we leave.
Yes, it is the same two people, and our washing services follow one order: gutters first, glass last, so the wash water from the roof does not land on clean windows. One crew, one visit.
The number comes from your stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we send the figure back before anything is booked.
On our jobs the outside carries most of the grime here: pollen, rain dust, and sprinkler spots. Our window cleaning services focus on the outside, so the glass stays clear even when the inside is fine.
Our customers here most often book in spring and fall, which is when pollen and leaves build up. Those are the two visits most of our Aiken customers keep.
No, because the gutters and downspouts are done first and the glass last. Runoff from the roof would otherwise run down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and we do not bill them as extras. If you live in condos, check first whether the association handles the gutters, since that decides who books the job.
Not on this visit. We clean the exterior glass only, and we do not do pressure washing here. Purified water is how we remove dirt from the outside of the glass.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway, keep pets inside, 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.
