Yes, the same two people clean the gutters and the outside of the 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. Across South Carolina, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and we keep the same order of work on every house. Call (866) 435-6328 to get your number.
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, the bundle done in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number we charge. Starting prices are a floor, and your final figure comes from your house, not from the starting point. Clean gutters and glass also help curb appeal.
On the day, the crew finds what moves the quote: stories and steep roofs (multi-story buildings take longer to reach), window count and oversized panes, clogged gutters not cleaned in years or packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Flushing the gutters and downspouts, rinsing screens and wiping sills are part of the job, not billed as extras. Our crew also looks for early signs of water damage at the fascia and reports them in the photos, but that is a note, not an upsell.
Plenty of owners ask whether a professional window cleaning visit leaves a film behind. Using purified water, window washing dries without spots, and we wipe the sills and frames as we go. The windows inside are not part of this visit, so the scope stays on the outside of the house.
To get your exact number, text a photo of the front of the house with your stories counted, plus a rough window count. Our crew is ready to work from that and will confirm the figure before we book a date. Ask for a written estimate once you have the details, and we will put the same number in writing.

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 homeowners book both jobs twice a year, once in spring and once in fall, and that is why one crew in one visit makes sense. Here, the calendar is set by the pollen that drops in spring and the leaves that come down in fall, so the two visits are timed around those seasons. Most residential properties of any size follow this two-visit rhythm, and cleaning services are booked around it.
In spring, a film of tree dust settles on south-facing glass and sticky grit packs the gutters and downspout elbows. In fall, the leaf load arrives and the wet mat sits in the runs until it is cleared. Storm and wind seasons can shift the dates, so we check the roofline before we schedule service for the house. Our crew sees this on every window and in the gutters at every visit, and we plan the schedule accordingly.
Some houses need a third visit. We see this where there is heavy tree cover over the roof, where a sprinkler line hits a residential window and leaves spots that come back a day later, or where the house sits near a busy road or construction. Those houses stay on a three to four month rhythm because the debris comes back faster, and runoff from the roof carries debris onto the sills between visits.
You will know the windows need attention when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You will know the gutters need attention when water sheets over the edge during rain instead of running down the downspouts. Text a photo of either and we will tell you which visit makes sense.
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 work across Forest Acres for gutter cleaning and window cleaning, and the crew books by phone or text. Our washing services cover the gutters and the glass, and the window cleaning services are booked in the same call. Send the number of stories and a photo of the house front, and we will confirm a date. Call (866) 435-6328 to book a slot. Lead time is set by the calendar, and we will tell you the next open slot on the line.
Two busy windows fill fast: spring, when grime settles on the glass and in the gutters, and fall, when the leaves come down and the crew has to remove dirt from the runs. If you want a slot in either window, book early. Outside those periods, most jobs are easier to schedule.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, so you know when the crew is on the way. The crew handles residential and commercial jobs, including condos and multi-unit buildings, and the same order of work applies to each.
Yes, on our jobs the same two-person crew does both in one visit. We clean the gutters first, then the glass, so nothing from the roof lands on clean windows.
The number comes from your stories and window count, not a fixed figure. Text a photo of the front of the house and we will give you the price by phone or text.
Yes, because the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that build up between visits. Cleaning the outside alone removes the film that the weather leaves on the glass.
Across South Carolina most of our customers book in spring and fall, and regular cleanings follow the same two windows. Spring and fall are our busy windows, so call early if you want a slot.
No, we clean the gutters first and the glass last. When the gutters are done first, nothing from the roof runs down onto the windows we have just cleaned.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped at every one of these cleanings, and picture windows get the same treatment as any other pane. Tracks are included in the exterior scope for this visit.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, cleaned with purified water from a water-fed pole, so no cleaning solutions go onto the glass. Inside windows and pressure washing are not part of this service.
No, you do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, 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.
