The same two people clean the gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and doing both jobs together costs less than booking two separate trips. Across South Carolina, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and that is the schedule we build around.
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 the window cleaning services by the number of stories and the approximate window count, and doing the gutters and the exterior glass in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately. The number we give on the phone is the number we charge.
On the day, the crew sees what moves a quote. A third story or a steep roof takes more time on the ladder, and multi-story buildings add the same kind of time. Oversized picture windows and a large window count add time at the glass, since every window gets its own rinse and dry. Gutters that have not been cleaned in years, or that are packed with needles and leaves, take longer to clear. Gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated add time too. Hard-water spotting from sprinklers does not come off with a cleaning, so we flag it separately. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
Most of the work in a Cayce visit is window washing and clearing gutters and downspouts on the same house, and the washing services we use are the same ones we use across the state. Our crews rinse the grime and dust from the glass with purified water, and clear the runoff path so the water leaves the roof instead of sheeting down the wall. The cleaning solutions for the glass are part of the quote. When the crew arrives, we walk the outside of the house with you and confirm the stories and window count before we start, so you know the number before the work begins. The approach is the same for a home or for one of the condos we have cleaned, because the point is to remove dirt from the glass and the gutters without leaving a mess behind. To get your exact number, call or text (866) 435-6328 with a photo of the front of the house with the stories visible, and tell us roughly how many windows face the street.

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 South Carolina, most of our customers book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense for them. On our Cayce jobs the spring and fall visits follow the same pattern, and we set them from the calendar in the season section of this page.
What we find at each visit depends on the season. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and wet debris packs the gutters, so the runs need more clearing than the glass does. In fall the leaf load is the main thing we clear from the gutters, and in Cayce the fall visit usually falls in November to early December, though wind or storm seasons can move the date of a visit.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters packed, and a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up extra dust on the glass between visits. These are the cases where we suggest a third cleaning in the year, and we tell you which of these applies to your house when we see it.
The glass tells you when it is time. Haze you only notice when the sun is low on the window is the sign the outside of the glass needs cleaning. Water sheeting over the edge of the gutter in rain is the sign the gutters need clearing. Both are easy to spot from the ground, and once you have had the first visit you will know what to watch for. We keep the regular cleanings simple: book the spring and fall visits, and add a third only when the house calls for it.
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 have cleaned gutters and windows across Cayce, and we schedule service around the calendar, so a slot can open up on short notice. Booking starts with a quote by phone or text at (866) 435-6328: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. We use the photo and the stories to set the number, and we call before we come. The estimate does not need you to be home.
Our calendar for cleaning services fills in the two busy windows of the year, which are the spring season and the fall leaf season. If you want a slot in one of those windows, book early so the crew can plan the route. Outside those windows there is usually more room in the schedule.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. Our crew works outside the house and does not come in, and we send photos of the work when it is done. This page covers residential properties only, and a residential and commercial quote is set by phone rather than from this page. We bring our own water and equipment, so the only thing we ask is that you move the cars off the driveway if the windows face it and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Window washers and gutter crews often run into the same problem: a clogged gutter that has already let water into the fascia, or a window that has been dirty long enough to leave a film. We clear the gutters first so the runoff stays off the glass, and we flag any clogged gutters we find, so the water damage does not spread. For a homeowner, professional window cleaning means the glass and the gutters get done properly in one visit, and that protects the curb appeal of the house as well as the building underneath.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. Residential window work and gutter cleaning are one visit, and we clean the gutters first and the exterior glass after, so the dirty runoff does not land on clean windows.
There is no fixed figure we can give without the details. The number comes from the stories and the size of the house, and you can get it by phone or text at (866) 435-6328.
Usually yes, because the outside carries the pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Clean windows on the outside also let more light in, so the house looks cared for from the street.
Our customers here book in the spring and the fall, which is when spring debris and the leaves build up on the house. To schedule service for those months, book early, because the calendar fills.
Not on our jobs. Gutters first, glass last, so the leaves and grit come off the roof before anyone touches the windows.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job. Tracks are included on every window the crew can reach from the outside.
We clean the exterior only on this visit, so the windows inside stay as they are, and we do not do pressure washing. An interior and exterior clean is a different booking.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn off the sprinklers the night before, move the 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.
