Yes, the same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last, so nothing dirty from the roofline lands on clean panes. We price it by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and doing both jobs in one visit costs less than booking them as two separate trips. Across South Carolina, most of our spring and fall bookings come from homeowners who want the whole exterior done at once.
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 both jobs done in one visit cost less than booking them separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge, with no added fees at the door.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof too steep to walk, a large number of window panes and oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years or are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that must be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job, not billed as extras. The window washing covers the exterior glass only, and the washing services stop at the outside of each pane. Interior and exterior glass are not the same job here, so the estimate covers the outside only.
Our crew finds that the biggest surprises come from gutters nobody has opened in a long time. Our crew works through the full run, not just what is visible from the ground, so the estimate reflects what is actually up there. The window cleaning services we provide on the outside cover every window we can reach from a pole or ladder, and the grime that builds on the frames gets wiped as part of the visit. Picture windows and multi-story buildings take the most time, which is why we ask for a count of each.
A two-story house with heavy shade on the back side and a row of sprinkler-spotted windows often asks why the quote sits above a single-trade bid. The usual answer is that the gutter run is packed through the back elbows and the sprinkler spotting needs the glass done in a second pass. The number on the phone is the number on the invoice.
To get your exact number, call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house and tell us the number of stories and roughly how many windows you have. We will come back with the figure and whether any of the extras apply, and you can ask us to walk the back of the house before we start. Our regular cleanings are the cheapest way to keep the total down over time, because a clean run takes less time than one that has built up for a year.
| 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 Carolina Forest customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Across South Carolina, the spring visit lands in mid to late April and the fall visit in November to early December.
On the glass in April, we find a film of pollen on the south-facing windows and a pollen paste in the gutters. We use purified water rather than cleaning solutions on the glass, so the film lifts off without streaks. In November we see the leaf load that has come down over the season, along with the storm and wind debris that the coastal weather leaves behind, and clogged gutters from that load are the usual route to water damage on the fascia. Heavy tree cover over the roof means gutters and downspouts clog more often, which is why those houses book on a three to four month schedule. A sprinkler line hitting the glass leaves round spots that return a day after cleaning, and a house near a busy road or a construction site collects grime faster than most, so those get a third visit.
On one Carolina Forest job, a customer with no trees near the house books once a year and has needed nothing else. A second customer, with trees over the roof and sprinkler spotting on the west windows, comes in three or four times a year. Both get the same crew, the same photos and the same quote method.
You will notice the window need when there is a haze you only see when the sun is low. You will notice the gutter need when water sheets over the edge in the rain instead of running down the downspout. Those two signs tell you more than any calendar will.
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 clean residential properties throughout Carolina Forest and book the exterior window and gutter work through the same estimate. To start, call (866) 435-6328 or send a text with the number of stories and a photo of the house front. Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring season and the fall leaf drop, so booking early gets you a slot you want.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works from the outside, does not come inside, and calls before we come. For most homeowners the process is easy, and the estimate is the same by phone as on the invoice. We provide professional window cleaning and gutter cleaning in a single visit, with one of the window cleaners doing the glass as the gutter crew finishes each run. We use the same purified-water method on residential and commercial glass, so the finish is consistent wherever the job is.
Your home's curb appeal depends on clean gutters that carry water away from the fascia and glass that lets light in, which is why we clean every window we can reach from the outside. Our cleaning services are scheduled around you, and we can set up recurring visits so you do not have to call each season. To schedule service, text a photo or call, and we will confirm the date and time before the crew heads out.
Yes. On residential properties, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the windows in one visit. We do the gutters first and the glass last so the glass is not dirtied again from above.
We give the number over the phone or by text, based on stories and approximate window count. There is no range to quote here; the number we give is the number we charge.
On the outside of Carolina Forest houses we find rain dust and sprinkler spotting, and those build up on each residential window regardless of what the inside looks like. Outside glass is what the weather hits first, on condos and single-family homes alike.
Our customers here book in spring, from mid to late April, and again in fall, from November to early December. Those are the months our calendar fills.
No, because we clear the gutters and downspouts, flushing every one, before we touch the windows. The wall gets a few minutes to stop dripping, and only then does the glass get cleaned, so runoff does not reach it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the visit, and that rinse is how we remove dirt before it washes onto the glass. Tracks are included on the exterior side of the window.
We do not clean the windows inside on this visit, and we do not do pressure washing. This is exterior glass only, and we will tell you if something else needs attention when we are on the ladder.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if windows face it, keep pets inside while the 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.
