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 doing both in one visit costs less than booking two separate trips. Across South Carolina, most of our customers book the two jobs together in spring and fall, and that is the calendar we work to.
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. We quote professional window cleaning from the number of stories and the approximate window count, and window washing done in the same visit as the gutters costs less than two separate jobs, with the exact difference shown when you call. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not billed as extras.
On our jobs, what moves the quote is what the crew finds on the day: a third story or a steep roof that needs a boom or scissor lift, a large number of oversized panes, gutters that have not been opened in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated before the run can be cleared, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that cleaning alone will not remove. Each of these shows up in the quote before the work starts, not as a surprise on the invoice.
Our crew finds that clogged gutters often mean water damage is already starting at the fascia, which is why we photograph every run before we leave. A house with a lot of glass on a multi-story build is a different job than a single-floor ranch, and we say so when we call. Windows inside are not part of this quote, and the work we describe is the only work on the bill, so nothing on it is a guess. Clean gutters also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect.
Ask us for the number the way we would want it asked: stories, approximate window count, and a photo of the front of the house sent by text. With those three we can give you a firm figure on the phone, and if anything changes once we see the roof, we tell you before we climb.
Call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline and we will send a written estimate the same day.

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 Fountain Inn customers book both jobs twice a year, and that is why we run our cleaning services as one visit on this calendar. Regular cleanings keep the calendar simple, so one crew can take both jobs in a single trip. Here is what we find at each visit, and what changes the schedule.
In the spring pollen season, the south-facing glass on most residential properties carries a film you can see when the sun hits it, and the gutters hold a green paste that turns to sludge once the first rain soaks it. In the fall, the leaf load arrives all at once, and it is wet and matted by the time we reach every window and gutter run on the house. Storms and wind seasons can move the dates, so we confirm the visit a few days out instead of holding to a fixed week.
Some houses need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps the gutters loaded through the year. A sprinkler line that hits a residential window leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning. A house near a busy road or a construction site picks up grime faster than a quiet street does. We look at the house on the first visit and tell you which of these your lot has, then schedule service for the rest of the year around it.
The sign windows need cleaning is haze you only notice when the sun is low, not dirt you can wipe off with a finger. The sign gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge in rain instead of running down the downspout.
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 offer washing services and window cleaning services across Fountain Inn, and our crew knows how the houses here are laid out. Gutters and downspouts are the first thing we clear on every visit. Booking starts with a phone or text estimate: tell us the number of stories and send a photo of the house front. Lead time depends on the calendar, and we give you the slot we have when you call.
Our calendar fills fastest in the two busy windows of the year, the spring bloom and the fall leaf drop, so booking early in those months is the simplest way to get the date you want. Outside those windows there is usually more room. Because the gutters go first, the runoff from the roof does not land on the glass after it is clean, so we remove dirt from each window once, not twice. Nobody needs to be home for exterior work, and we call before we come so you know when the crew will arrive.
For residential and commercial work alike, we also clean gutters on multi-story buildings and office sites on a set schedule, and condos get the same gutters-first order, but this page is about your home. Call (866) 435-6328 and we will tell you what slot is open.
Yes, it is the same two people. We clean the gutters first and the glass last so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows. One visit covers both cleanings, and the bundle costs less than two separate visits.
The number comes from the stories and the approximate window count, and we give it to you by phone or text before we book. We do not quote from a general range. Call (866) 435-6328 with those two numbers.
On our Fountain Inn jobs, the outside carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots that the inside never sees. Cleaning the inside alone does not touch any of that. The outside is where the haze builds up, and picture windows show it most.
Most of our customers here book in the spring, after the spring bloom has passed, and in the fall, after the leaves come down. Those are the two busy windows, so booking early in them keeps your options open. Regular cleanings are easiest to set up on the first call.
No, because we work gutters first and glass last. When we clear a run, the grit and the black water under the leaves come down the wall, so we rinse the siding and let it drain before we touch the windows.
Screens are taken down, rinsed and put back on request. Sills are wiped as part of the job, and the crew uses no cleaning solutions on the glass beyond purified water. Tracks are included on the visit, so none of those are billed as extras.
Exterior only on this visit. We do not clean interior glass, so the interior and exterior of your windows are never both on one visit here. We do not do pressure washing either, so the work stays on the outside of the house.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, keep pets inside while the ladders are up, and unlock the side gate. The crew brings its own water and power.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
