The same two people clean the gutters and downspouts and the outside of the windows in one visit here, gutters first, glass last. We price it by the number of stories, and both jobs in one visit cost less than booking them as two separate trips. Spring and fall are the usual times to book it here, when leaves and grit build up on the glass and in the runs.
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. Booking window and gutter cleaning together in one visit costs less than two separate jobs, and the number we give you on the phone is the number on the invoice. Our cleaning services include downspout flushing, screen rinsing and sill wiping, and none of that is billed as an extra. Glass is done with purified water instead of cleaning solutions, so nothing is left to rinse off. The quote covers exterior glass only, so interior and exterior work is never bundled into one number. Mixed-use buildings with both residential and commercial space get a quote from the same two questions.
What moves the quote on the day: a third story or a steep roof, a large number of windows or oversized picture windows, gutters that have not been cleaned in years and are packed with needles and leaves, gutter guards that have to be lifted and reseated, and hard-water spotting from sprinklers that no cleaning removes. Each of these changes the time on the roof or the ladder, so we ask about them before we give you a number. Regular cleanings keep the runs clear, so a house on a regular schedule usually takes less time than one that has gone years without service.
On a typical Greenwood house with a steep front roof and tall windows, the ladder work and the gutter runs add time at both ends, and the quote reflects that. To get your number, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the front of the house, and we will quote it from there.
| Gutters only | Exterior windows only | Both in one visit | |
|---|---|---|---|
| One story | from $150 | from $150 | from $240 |

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.
Many homes here book both twice a year, in spring and again in fall, which is why one crew in one visit suits many houses. Across South Carolina, spring visits usually land in mid to late April, and fall visits run November to early December. Here is what we find at each visit. In spring the pollen film sits on south-facing glass and grit packs into the gutters, so the runs need the most work. In fall the leaf load comes down and fills the runs. Greenwood gets about 47.8 inches of rain a year, and the wettest months are January, March and December, so the runs fill fastest then. Across South Carolina, hurricanes and tropical remnants bring the heavy rain events that wash debris into the runs and can move these dates a few weeks in either direction.
Some houses need a third visit, and we see the same cases each time. Heavy tree cover over the roof means needles and grit pack the downspouts between cleanings. A sprinkler line that hits the glass leaves the spots that come back a day later. A house near a busy road or a construction site gets a film of dust that builds up faster than the rest of the street. Multi-story buildings with long gutter runs take more time on every visit, so they often need one more pass. If you have one of these, we will tell you after the first visit and suggest a schedule that fits.
You can tell the windows need cleaning when you see a haze that only shows up when the sun is low. You can tell the gutters need cleaning when water sheets over the edge in a rain instead of running down the downspout. Clogged gutters that overflow in a rain can lead to water damage on the fascia, so a run that spills over is worth booking sooner. Clean glass and clear runs also protect curb appeal, which matters most on the street side of the house. If the haze is on the windows inside, that is a separate job, and we will say so. Many window cleaners only come once a year, so a professional window cleaning on a set schedule catches these problems earlier.
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.
Booking works the same way for every house. You send us the number of stories and a photo of the front of the house by text or by phone, and we give you an estimate from that. Lead time depends on the season, and we will tell you the first open date when you call. Both busy windows of the year, the spring rush and the fall leaf drop, fill the calendar faster, so booking early in those months helps.
Nobody needs to be home for exterior work. We call before we come, and the crew works outside and does not come inside the house. Our crew covers window and gutter cleaning for homeowners who want the outside of the house done in one visit. Our window cleaning services cover every window we can reach from the ground or a pole, and the residential window work follows the same plan. We also take residential properties and multi-story buildings with larger glass fronts. For clean windows on every floor, we will clean every window we can reach and tell you about any sill or frame that needs more than a rinse. To schedule service, call (866) 435-6328 or text a photo of the roofline.
Yes, on our jobs it is the same two people. They do the gutters and downspouts first and the glass last, so the runoff from the roof does not land on clean windows.
The number comes from your stories and your window count, and we give it by phone or text. We do not quote a range without seeing those first.
It is, because the outside carries the pollen, the rain dust and the sprinkler spots here. That grime builds up on the glass long before the inside gets dirty.
Spring and fall are the usual months, when leaves and grit build up on the glass and in the runs, so the work is done before the buildup sets. Condos follow the same timing if their glass and runs see the same weather.
Not if the order is right. We clean the gutters first and rinse the wall before we touch the glass, so nothing washes down onto a pane we just finished.
Screens are rinsed and sills are wiped as part of the job, which helps remove dirt that would otherwise wash back onto the glass. Tracks with heavy grime can take extra time, and we will tell you before we start if that applies to your house.
We clean the exterior glass on this visit and do not clean the inside of the windows. Our washing services stop at the glass and frames, and pressure washing is not part of this visit. If you need those, we can point you to someone who does.
You do not need to be home. Turn the sprinklers off the night before, move cars off the driveway if the windows face it, and keep pets inside while the ladders are up.
Stories, rough window count, a photo of the front by text. That is a real number, not an appointment.
