Yes, the same two people who clean your gutters can clean the outside of your windows in the same visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing that comes off the roof ends up on clean panes. We price the job by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and a bundled visit costs less than booking the two jobs on separate days. Spring and fall are when leaves and dust pile up on both, so those are the visits we book most.
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, and it comes from how many stories the house has and roughly how many windows it carries. Bundling both jobs into one visit costs less than two separate trips, and we tell you the exact saving when we quote. Stories and steep roofs take more time to reach. A window count that runs high, or a few oversized picture windows, adds set-up. Gutters that have not been opened in years, or are packed with needles and leaf litter from the trees overhead, take longer to clear and flush. Gutter guards have to be lifted and reseated before we can reach the run. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers is a separate issue, because no cleaning removes it.
Gutters and downspouts are cleared and flushed as part of the quote, and so are the screens and sills. Window washing and washing services on this visit stop at the exterior glass, so the inside is not billed here. We flush each downspout until the water runs clear, so the buildup does not come back in the next rain. Our crew will remove dirt from the siding below the gutter line too, because that runoff is what sends grime back onto clean glass.
When we are on the ground in a neighborhood like yours, we look at a few things before we quote: the tree cover over the roof, how close the house sits to a busy road or construction, and whether the sprinklers hit the windows. Those three details change how often a house needs a visit and how much grime collects on the glass between cleanings. Condos get quoted on the glass and gutters you own, so tell us the unit type when you call. To get the exact number, text us a photo of the front of the house along with a stories count, or call (866) 435-6328 and we will reply with a figure from our own quote.

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.
Residential and commercial properties both fit the same plan: a window and gutter visit in spring and another in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across South Carolina, spring visits run from mid to late April, when the pollen film has settled on south-facing glass and the pollen paste has packed into the gutters. Fall visits run from late November into December, once the leaves have dropped and before the wet leaf mat starts to sag the runs. Across South Carolina, hurricane and tropical remnant rain can move these dates, and we book around them. Regular cleanings on that schedule keep both jobs on the same plan.
Spring dust is the thing we see most. It coats the glass in a yellow film and turns into a paste in the gutter elbows, where it slows the water down. Large picture windows show that film most clearly in low sun. The leaf load in fall is heavier on houses with trees, and it holds water against the fascia when it rains. Heavy tree cover over the roof, a sprinkler line that hits the glass, or a house near a busy road are the cases that need a third visit. A sprinkler spot often shows up as a round mark that comes back a day after cleaning, and it means the water is the problem, not the dirt.
Some customers ask about interior and exterior glass together. This visit covers the exterior only, and the inside stays as it is. We use purified water on the glass, and cleaning solutions only where a stain needs one. You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze only in low sun. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during a rain. Neither sign means you have waited too long, only that it is time to book.
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.
Among the window cleaners working the Berea area, our crew provides window cleaning services and gutter cleaning, and we handle multi-story buildings as well as single-story homes. The windows inside stay as they are, since this visit covers the exterior glass only. Booking starts with a call to (866) 435-6328 or a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. We call before we come, so you know the crew is on the way. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, but we ask that you keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop. If you want to schedule service outside those windows, you are more likely to get a slot close to the date you want. Lead time depends on how many jobs are already on the schedule, and we will tell you the date when you call.
Regular cleaning keeps small problems from turning into larger ones. Clogged gutters that stay full over the winter can pull on their hangers and lead to water damage at the fascia. A window that sits under a season of dust and rain takes more work to bring back. The crew checks every window on the exterior before it packs up. Our crew is trained as a professional window cleaning team, and clean glass and clear gutters also help curb appeal, which is most of what a neighbor sees from the street. We treat every job with the same care, whatever the house looks like.
Yes, the same two people handle window and gutter cleaning in one visit. We clean the gutters first, then the glass, so the runoff does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count. Text us a photo of the front of the house and we will quote a figure from that.
Yes, because a residential window collects dust, rain film and sprinkler spotting on the outside, and cleaning every window on the exterior removes it. Inside cleaning does not touch any of that.
Spring visits run from mid to late April across South Carolina, and fall visits run from late November into December. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house. Those are the months the buildup tends to be heaviest.
Not when we do the work. We clean the gutters and flush every downspout first, then let the wall drip for a few minutes before we touch the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped on residential properties as part of the job. We do not charge extra for either one on the exterior visit.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean the inside of the glass or do pressure washing, so if you need those, let us know and we will point you to someone who does.
You do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers 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.
