The same two people clean your gutters and the outside of your windows in one visit, gutters first and glass last, so the glass is not dirtied again by runoff. We price the job by the number of stories and an approximate window count, and booking both together in one visit costs less than two separate trips. Across South Carolina, most of our customers book this in spring and fall, and the number we give you on the phone is the number we charge.
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 our window washing services by the number of stories and the approximate count of each residential window on the house. Booking our window cleaning services and gutter cleaning together in one visit costs less than booking the two jobs separately, and the number we give on the phone is the number on your invoice.
On our jobs, the things that move the quote are a third story or a roof steep enough that the crew works from a boom or scissor lift, a large number of oversized picture windows, 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 anything underneath can be cleaned, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers, which cleaning alone will not remove. Grime that has built up on the glass over a long gap between visits takes longer to lift than a light film, and that adds time. Downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping are part of the job and are not quoted separately. Interior and exterior glass are not done on the same visit; this quote covers the exterior only.
Two houses on the same Garden City street can land far apart, so the figure depends on the details of your house. For a two-story house with a wide front bank of glass, the window count moves the quote more than the gutters do, and a shaded lot with a long run of gutters can need the downspouts flushed more than once. Call (866) 435-6328 or text us a photo of the front of the house with your story count and rough window count, and we will reply with the figure. Regular cleanings are quoted the same way, so the number on the phone is the number on the invoice.

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 window and gutter cleaning twice a year, which is why one crew in one visit makes sense. The spring visit falls in mid to late April across South Carolina, and in Garden City the fall visit is late November to December, timed so the leaves are down and the first hard rain has not yet arrived. Windows inside the house are not part of either visit.
At the spring visit, the pollen film on south-facing glass is the first thing we see, and pollen paste packed into the downspout elbows is the second. Pollen usually lifts with purified water alone; cleaning solutions are saved for the grime that water does not lift. In the fall, the leaf load in clogged gutters is the main job, and the wet leaf mat that sits behind the fascia is what we are watching for, because on houses that skip it, runs sag under the weight of ice by late winter and water damage follows. Across South Carolina, hurricanes and tropical remnants, which hit Charleston and the Grand Strand directly, can move the dates on either visit, and we call before we come.
Some houses, including multi-story buildings and houses with heavy tree cover, need a third visit. Heavy tree cover over the roof keeps needles and grit moving into the gutters between visits, a sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves spots that come back a day after cleaning, and a house close to a busy road or active construction picks up a fine film faster than average. For those homes we often suggest a third pass, and we will tell you which one your house needs after the first visit. The same timing applies to residential and commercial buildings, which we quote separately. A sign that the windows need cleaning again is a haze you only notice when the sun is low, and a sign that the gutters need cleaning is water sheeting over the edge of the gutter during a rain.
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 Garden City and clean residential properties year round, including houses and condos; residential and commercial jobs are quoted separately. Booking is straightforward: call (866) 435-6328 or text us with the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house, and we give you a number and a date. Our crew does exterior work without needing anyone home, and we call before we come so you know the truck is on the way.
Our calendar fills in the two busy windows of the year, the spring pollen season and the late fall leaf drop, so if you want a specific week in those months, schedule service early. Outside those windows there is usually room on short notice. We bring the same two-person crew to every house for professional window cleaning, which means the people who quoted you are the people on the ladder.
Window cleaning services like ours are only as good as the work on the house, so the crew checks every window and each run of gutter before leaving and photographs anything that needs attention, from a loose hanger to a window sill that is cracking. The crew uses purified water on the glass, so cleaning solutions are kept for the grime that water alone will not lift. Clean glass and gutters also do more for curb appeal than most owners expect. We are not window cleaners who also do gutters as an afterthought; the gutters-first order is how we work every job, and it is what keeps the glass clean after the visit.
Our crew does both in one visit, so it is the same two people who clean the gutters and then the glass.
We do not quote a figure over the page; the number depends on stories and window count, and we give it by phone or text.
In Garden City the outside of residential properties, condos included, carries pollen, rain dust and sprinkler spots, and the crew removes dirt from the outside before it dulls the glass.
Most of our customers book in spring and fall; across South Carolina the spring visit falls in mid to late April, and the fall visit is late November to December.
No, we clean the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, because runoff from the gutter runs down the wall and across any window below it.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, and tracks are quoted separately.
We do exterior glass only on this visit, so windows inside the house are not part of it, and we do not do pressure washing.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off, move cars off the driveway, 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.
